I am so excited to be teaming up with @adaptivebooks to talk about #TheToastBook by #MattMarinovich ! This is the story of two brothers who are bred to compete against each other in an increasingly vicious competition and the reader is left wondering... will this game ever end? The Toast released on November 6th and is currently available for purchase! I will leave the synopsis below for you all to check out! _____________________________________________________ The Toast is a novel about sibling rivalry that knows no bounds. For as long as they can remember, the Krider brothers have only found true meaning in their war with each other. Bred to viciously compete from an early age by their deranged father, they have upped the ante to dangerous extremes. But the Krider brothers have always obeyed the three sacred rules of the game: No mortal injury. Wait your turn. There is no end to the game. . On a sweltering day in early July, Rob and Rebecca Krider drive towards the wedding of his younger brother, Craig. A hundred guests have already arrived for the ceremony at the Old Field House. It's a perfect day for a wedding, but before the morning is over, an unexpected tragedy will strike one of the Krider brothers and a frightening toast will be delivered by one of the guests. . As a shattered widow retreats to her home in Westchester, the surviving brother is increasingly confident he will finally get to live a normal life without the game. At first, it seems like he might be right, but as the months pass, he suddenly realizes that strange coincidences in his everyday life might have a more sinister cause. Could it be that the game he thought was over is threatening to destroy his life again? But who's pulling the strings now that his only arch-rival is dead? It's clear the one last turn is being taken, and all the old rules are being broken, except one: there is no end to the game. #thetoast #adaptivebooks #onmytbr #siblingrivalry #bookstagram #booklover #readersofinstagram #fallfeels #fallvibes #fallobsessed #autumncolors #autumnaesthetic #bookobsessed #bookstagrammer https://www.instagram.com/p/BqH0isBlSRd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=d1t23waiyr3r

The Silence of Six Review

Publisher: Adaptive Books (a division of Adaptive Studios)

How I Got this Book: Won in a giveaway hosted by adaptivestudios (Adaptive Books) and booksplosion!

Goodreads Description:

“What is the silence of six, and what are you going to do about it?” These are the last words uttered by 17-year-old Max Stein’s best friend, Evan: Just moments after hacking into the live-streaming Presidential debate at their high school, he kills himself. Haunted by the image of Evan’s death, Max’s entire world turns upside down as he suddenly finds himself the target of a corporate-government witch-hunt. Fearing for his life and fighting to prove his own innocence, Max goes on the run with no one to trust and too many unanswered questions. Max must dust off his own hacking skills and maneuver the dangerous labyrinth of underground hacktivist networks, ever-shifting alliances, and virtual identities — all while hoping to find the truth behind the “Silence of Six” before it’s too late.

I LOVED this book. I read it in one sitting because I literally could not put it down. I think what grabbed me was how realistic the story really is. I felt like something like this could really happen in real life. Max is a very believable and like-able protagonist, and I was on the edge of my seat rooting for him all the way through.

This review will be shorter than normal, because I went into this not knowing anything more than what the Goodreads synopsis says, and I think that was the best way. Going into it without any preconceived ideas allowed me to be swept up and shocked, and it was awesome! I love the idea of "hacktivists" - hackers who hack for a cause or good purpose; they help instead of hurt. This is how I would classify Max and Evan, as well as most of the other hackers in the story.

I rate this story as a solid 4.5 stars and I wish I could explain to you all just how much I am into this book. If you're like me and can't get enough, I have lots of good news! Author E.C. Myers has said he is working on a sequel (YAY!), and there is a short story called "SOS" (a prequel to The Silence of Six) free on Wattpad. You can also watch the thrilling book trailer here, as well as read Courtney's (Max's girlfriend) blog, Full Cort Press, here.

All I have left to say is read it, read it, read it, read it!!
