We are also looking at starting up a podcast as well. I am nervous but I am very interested in doing some kind of audio on books and such. We shall see though, I am very hesitant to talk to myself, lol.

Review:
So I picked this up as a free book on a list I got my e-mail. I am glad I did. I really enjoyed reading it. It was definitely something that fit into my normal reading lists.
The characters are great, and let me just say that I loved that the main characters was named Dayton. It's not a normal name for a character and I love that about this book. The names aren't just the normal, run of the mill names. She is a good base character as well. She is strong when she needs to be but at the same time she has her vulnerabilities. You want your characters to be real, not some perfect person.
This book was a great start to this series though. The idea behind it was well thought out but I think that the author wanted to get more into the first novel and pushed to hard in some areas. That is why it felt rushed for me. I think that if she had really planned out the series she could have stretched it out more. That is just my opinion. I know that she has a whole series now, but this was still rushed to me.
