The Pact Cosmic Blast

The Pact

Enter the world of Will Lesterall, a boy who’s grown up in the safety of his father’s castle.

Tales of the outside world ruled by warring kings and creatures of nightmare have never seemed a threat, yet on the night celebrating the two hundredth year of the sacred Pact that has kept Fort Lesterall safe, a secret intrigue ripens, and in the course of a few hours Will is confronted with a choice greater than he can comprehend.

Join an unlikely hero as destiny pulls him into the middle of an ancient conflict between fallen gods and ambitious women, one that demands blood, both holy and wicked, and the power of an ancient fire bound in steel. As swords clash below a watching wood, hope and betrayal war as fiercely as fear and valor.

 Whether he lives or dies, Will Lesterall will never be the same.

The Yogi's Curse by Lars Guignard

Title:: Zoe & Zak and the Yogi's Curse (Zoe & Zak Adventures #2)

Author:: Lars Guignard

Genre:: Children /Middle Grade

Published:: Fantastic Press (July 23, 2013)

Buy Links: Amazon.com | Amazon.co.uk

About the Book::

Zoe and Zak are back in India. Again. And this time they’re attending Moonstock Himalayan Boarding School, which might seem fun except for the fact that the school is a little strange. Students ride elephants instead of school buses, snarling monkeys work as security guards, and angry parrots monitor the halls. And even when they manage to get used to the wildlife, the food is absolutely terrible. But living with a bunch of other kids their age can be a lot of fun too, or at least it seems that way until Zoe’s roommate goes missing. Following the directions written on a steamy bathroom mirror, Zoe and Zak fly through the clouds on their magic carpet to learn that the two of them have been chosen yet again. This time they’ve been asked to lift the Yogi’s Curse. It’s not going to be easy. Zoe and Zak don’t even know what the Yogi’s Curse is let alone how to lift it, but like it or not, they soon discover that a whole lot of people are depending on them. Now, if they’re going to save the day, they’re going to have to fool the monkey guards, avoid the nasty parrots, and maybe even develop a supernatural ability or two. Because lurking beneath Moonstock is a powerful new enemy. And if Zoe and Zak can’t stop him, nobody can.

My Thoughts::

Lars Guignard  pens yet another fantastic children's adventure featuring the much loved Zoe and Zak who seem to find trouble whenever they are India. This time they are sent to a boarding school called Moonstock Himalayan Boarding School due to their parents working all over India. The strangeness starts straight away when a young girl who is Zoe's room mate disappears leaving just wet footprints and things get even stranger when both Zoe and Zak bump into a giant mongoose but when their old Yogi friend, who died previously comes into the school as a teacher and a younger man going by the name of Mr Muk they know something is up and it leads them to yet another adventure to break the Yogi's Curse. Mr Guignard wrote this very well with lots of references to Indian culture and magic throughout.

5 stars

Blown Circuit Cosmic Blast Promo & Giveaway

 

Blown Circuit

From the bestselling author of Lethal Circuit comes the long-awaited sequel.

Michael Chase is back.

He survived China. Barely.

But now he's got bigger problems. He has enemies. Deadly enemies.

Good thing Michael is in no mood to play nice.

Michael survived China. Barely. But now he's got bigger problems. A pair of coordinates broadcast on an obscure frequency have brought Michael to Istanbul, Turkey where credible chatter has emerged that a terrorist group plans to use a devastating device to hold the world hostage.

Designed by Nikola Tesla, arguably the greatest inventor of the Twentieth Century, the device is experimental, it is capable, and it has been missing for almost sixty years. If Michael is to prevent a catastrophe, he'll need to get to the device before the Conspiracy or risk upsetting the global balance of power forever. Of course, !nding the Tesla Device is one thing, knowing whom he can trust with it is another matter entirely.

To survive, he'll have to do both. If he doesn't, what started as a bad day is about to become a disaster.

Can Michael fight his way through the lies and deception to save the world?

If you can't get enough of the action of Lee Child and Vince Flynn, the intrigue of Robert Ludlum, and the adventure of Clive Cussler and James Rollins, you are going to LOVE Blown Circuit!
