Back Blurb:
MARTYR--otherwise known as Jason 3:3--is one of many clones kept in a remote facility called Jason Farms. Told that he has been created to save humanity, Martyr has just one wish before he is scheduled to "expire" in less that a month. To see the sky.
Abby Goyer may have just moved to Alaska, but she has the feeling something strange is going on at the farm where her father works. But even this smart, confident girl could never have imagined what lies beneath a simple barn. Or what would happen when a mysterious boy shows up at her door, asking about the stars.
As the reality of the Jason Experiment comes to light, Martyr is caught between two futures--the one for which he was produced, and the one Abby believes God created him to have. Time is running out, and Martyr must decide if a life with Abby is worth leaving everything he's ever known.
WHEN YOUR LIFE IS NOT YOUR OWN
My Review:
I really enjoyed (no, LOVED) Jill Williamson's book 'By Darkness Hid' (check it out some time, seriously)so when I got the chance to review her book in my favorite genre (Science Fiction, btw) I was soooooo happy! This book ROCKED! Follow Martyr a.k.a. Jason 3:3 and Abby Goyer as they try to thwart the evil scientists from creating (and killing) a whole race of clones made for one purpose. The Purpose? I can't tell you that. I give away to much. ;) But I will say this-you will NOT be disappointed. If you are a HUGE Sci-fi fan (like me) definitely check this book out! Jill Williamson is an AWESOME writer!!! (I hope there's a sequel...) :P

Actually, AMANDA STEPHAN needs your help. Here's the prob. Author Amanda Stephan is looking to republish her first book The Price of Trust through a different publisher. Which means she needs a different cover for the book. She has more than one choice (she has 4 or maybe 5) and she can't choose which one she wants. So I'm calling all bookworms to her aid. Go to her website here:http://www.thepriceoftrust.com/2011/12/book-cover-extravaganza.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+ThePriceOfTrust+%28The+Price+of+Trust%29Post a comment there telling which potential cover is your favorite and which one is your least favorite. (Imagine being able to help pick a book cover for an author's book! It's a once in a life time opportunity!)

Back Blurb: What was going on? Was she allowing herself to think too much of this little town? Or just the people in it. She blushed as she remembered how her heart had sped up as Joe had sat next to her. Carly Richards in on the run. For the last two years, she's skipped from town to town, ducking her dangerous and well-informed ex-fiance every few weeks, never settling anywhere for long. With the death of her parents, Carly's vulnerability made her trust a man with an attractive facade, now that same man tracked her across the country, always nipping at her heels, preventing her from reaching out to anyone other than her God. Now she's in Montana, and surely that is far enough away from Texas and her abusive past that she can rest. But her emotional scars are reluctant to heal, and Carly resists the friendliness of those in the small town she lights upon, especially handsome farmer Joe Baird. Without a car and money, though, she has little choice but to dig in and begins building back up her savings so she can run once more. Caught in the circumstances, the kind people around her begin to creep into her softening heart. God is at work, and she has to trust him to not only take care of her, but care for the people she is learning to love. Carly must learn The Price of Trust.
My Review: The Price of Trust is a GREAT clean Christian novel that all the girls (teens or adults) and maybe some men will enjoy to read! Amanda Stephan is one of those very rare authors that gets to point of the novel across with no swearing or *embarrassing* moments. You could give this romance book to a twelve year old and not have to worry about ANYTHING! Don't miss this wonder novel!
Hope you guys have a really Awesome Valentine's Day! :) (and don't forget to tell your parents)
