Book Rate: 9.5
This book is pretty good though the text was very big. Though I find a lot of error since it's an ARC.
That's describe the characters:
Jane is very stubborn or mean. Though she change when she and Paul was surviving together. I find her annoying at first how she was being kind of mean to Paul who on the other side was being generous to her.
Paul is very nice though there is a few times he was mean to Jane but it's very few. I was shocked that he said I love you to Jane when she leaving him to find help. That was so sweet.
There's only two characters so I can't figure out which one is my favorite character.
Sometimes this book goes back into time or Jane have a dream about her past life in Life House. So it's very confusing to some people who doesn't reallyget the idea. I was confuse at first too. I was like "What the heck happen here." something like that.
Ok so that's it with the review. I didn't feellike doing quotes because I'm very lazy right now. Probably the next review will have some. I hope.

Dinetah Dragon by Don Martinez
Book Summary:
In 2015, the author discovered by accident a budget accounting for a
mysterious Special Forces team operated solely by the CIA. In questioning its
origins, he was put in contact with Ariel Sharpe, one of the team's members, who
agreed to meet with him in a secret location to share the story of the team, and
that of her own life. Ariel's life is one of isolated existence, both physically
in the Arizona desert and emotionally from her surrounding peers. The isolation
becomes even greater when she volunteers to become among the first wave of the
nation's new Super Soldiers, only to wind up bound to a genetically-engineered
dragon, complete with the scaly complexion and beastly abilities. When she
escapes this sinister project she crosses paths with a Navy man who steers her
into Special Forces. This team of professional soldiers, all of which embody
legendary archetypes, becomes her new family, a place where she truly feels
welcomed among people for the first time. The team's adventures in the shadowy
supernatural world, though, hold the fate of the entire world in the balance,
culminating in their final mission to stop Armageddon itself from commencing in
the place where Ariel's story first began, the deserts and mesas of the American
southwest. Through pain and joy, through suicide attempts and vicious fighting,
Ariel survived to tell her tale. Learn how she not only reached a peaceful
existence ... she truly earned it.
The United States is no more. The New Empire of America holds power now.
The people of the former U.S.A now live in the "glory" of President-for-Life
Carleton Regent, his wife and Vice President Jennifer, and the immensely
powerful Supernatural Suppression Agency. Their goal: eliminate all
supernaturals! A victim of the SSA's purges is Alanna Sharpe, now missing her
supernatural parents Ariel and Cole. Summoned by her parents' former ally Gabe
Francis, she takes the burden of her Sharpe birthright ... the Sword of the
Guardsman. Gabe presents Alanna with a quest. To save her parents, she must
bring down the New Empire of America! Alanna pushes forth against the SSA and
its field commander, General Tyrelius Scolar. But will Alanna be prepared for
the haunting secret behind the rise of Scolar, the SSA, and the New
Empire?
Book Summary: Alanna Sharpe is going to Hell. . .In hiding for half a year after discovering her father Cole Sharpe has become General Tyrelius Scolar, her feared enemy, she is brought back into the fold of the insurgency against the New Empire of America by Gabe Francis … a man she distrusts because of his habit of holding back vital information. Her friends still support her in her mission to reunite her family, but that mission takes an unexpected turn when the insurgents capture Scolar. Gabe reveals to Alanna that Scolar is indeed Cole, but is also simply a body lacking its original soul, that of her father. In a quiet moment, alone with the comatose body, Alanna catches snippets of a message. “Find me …” The search for her father’s soul will cross over many planes of existence, from the world of the living to the mystical realm of Avalon, ultimately leading into the Inferno of Hell. Led through the many circles of damnation by a former family enemy-turned-guide, Alanna must now endure all of Hell’s torments and follow her father’s path if she ever wants to be reunited with him. To have any chance of reuniting her family, Alanna must bring her father back from damnation’s grasp.
Syi's Summary: So first I would like to thank Don for these four amazing ebook copy of The Advance Guard series. It was really interesting and I really like it. I found the fourth book the best out of the three. Though overall they are all great!
Book Rate: 8.9
Here is a interview about Don Martinez:
1. How long does it take you to write a whole book?
It depends on how much the writing is flowing when I'm writing ...
sometimes it takes longer than others. As far as the series goes, the first book
was written in four months (it was part of an assignment for a college course in
the craft of writing); Dinetah Dragon was written (and completed) during
NaNoWriMo 2010, so it took a month; The Insurgent's Journal was my NaNo for
2011, but it actually took me about three months to finish; and because of life
events going on, this recent book took the longest of any of my books to
complete, almost seven months from start to finish.
2. What genres do you like to read.
Primarily I like reading speculative fiction, like sci-fi and fantasy. I
have a wide definition of speculative, though, which includes such offshoots as
dystopian fiction, alternate history (I love Harry Turtledove!), and other kinds
of fiction that uses a weird world to comment on current society.
3. Where were you born?
People are surprised when I say this, but I was born in Japan. When I give
the logical explanation ... I came from parents who were both career Navy ...
the surprise kind of dies down.
4. How many books have you written so far?
Infernal Eighteen is my fourth novel. I have a fifth one in process, which
I'm hoping to release next year, and will finish up my series.
5. What is your hobby/hobbies?
I don't have a lot of time to pursue hobbies right now with my new baby
daughter and all, but when I do get the chance, it's primarily puttering around
the house, working on mine or my wife's cars, and things like that.
~Happy Reading Everybody~ That is all of the review!

Book Summary: When Ruby woke up on her tenth birthday, something about her had changed. Something frightening enough to make her parents lock her in the garage and call the police. Something that got her sent to Thurmond, a brutal government "rehabilitation camp." She might have survived the mysterious disease that had killed most of America's children, but she and the others emerged with something far worse: frightening abilities they could not control. Now sixteen, Ruby is one of the dangerous ones. When the truth comes out, Ruby barely escapes Thurmond with her life. She is on the run, desperate to find the only safe haven left for kids like her-East River. She joins a group of kids who have escaped their own camp. Liam, their brave leader, is falling hard for Ruby. But no matter how much she aches for him, Ruby can't risk getting close. Not after what happened to her parents. When they arrive at East River, nothing is as it seems, least of all its mysterious leader. But there are other forces at work, people who will stop at nothing to use Ruby in their fight against the government. Ruby will be faced with a terrible choice, one that may giving her only chance at having a life worth living. Syi's Summary: Ruby got sent to Thurmond after her parents called the police on her tenth birthday. She spent her horrible days at Thurmond for many years and now she is sixteen. She is on the run to escape Thurmond and find a safe place to be in. Ruby soon joins a group with the leader Liam who all escaped their camp. Together they are finding a way to escaped Thurmond without losing each other and their own lives. Book Rate: 10! This book is freaky awesome. I've been waiting to read this book forever. Then I saw it in my library and took it before anyone else gets it. So like if anybody checks it out now I'll be the first reader of this book. Ok So, I really feel bad for Ruby being sent to Thurmond and her parents giving her away just like that. They could just tried to solve it or bring her to the doctor make her eat some medicine that would make her better. Not called the police right away. At first I hate really Liam because of his attitude but later on I kind of like him. So overall I really like this book. The title and the cover was really interesting, that's when I want to read the book because of that. This is one of the cover beside the one at the top.
