Rules of the Road-
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5-
This is a Me Before You meets Eat Pray Love, Terry is learning things about herself and pushing at her own boundaries all out of love, but perhaps one of the best and most surprising elements is the bond that grows between her Father and herself along the way.
.
Terry’s father has Alzheimer’s, but, the tenderness in which they treat each other certainly got me emotional a couple of times. He may not be the man he once was [and that’s not always a bad thing] but he does his best to try and pretend he knows things for his Daughter’s sake.
.
I really enjoyed that this was about friendship and family and finding yourself, that romantic love was not the forefront because I sometimes think everyone could use a great book about familial love, whether by blood or a found family.
.
There’s a bit of a race against time for Terry, trying to convince her best friend, Irish, that life is always worth living, but, she learns more about Iris’s choices and reasonings as they travel toward the border to Zurich, learning more about the parts Iris’s MS that she hides from Terry and the world.

Lost Solace-
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5-
Opal is still hunting for her sister, there are other lost ships out that and thanks to Athen, previously known as Clarissa, she has help in hunting them down.
.
This lost ship is scarier than the first! We have more monsters/creatures, and though there are more ‘faces’ to them, it doesn’t make it any less terrifying nor did it make me anticipate any less, haha. I was on the edge of my seat as I read this! If you all ever glance at my twitter, I was screeching about it as I read it.
.
There is more technical jargon in this second book, and though it’s needed there were times my tiny nonscience brain had to go back and clarify, still I really enjoyed that so much research and effort went into this and I feel like it all just enhanced the experience.
.
Opal is still one of my favorite protagonists ever and this is still up there on a level with Metro 2033 as far as the fear and monsters go in the SciFi horror world.
.
Thank you to Anne and the Author for a copy of this in exchange for my honest review as part of the tour.
