****************************************************************************************
That moment when a passionate one night stand becomes more... much more. And no, I don't mean the sappy love story that ends up with them getting married and having two adorable children. I mean the charming lover locking you up in an isolated building with thick glass and a heavily locked door. Pretty tempting right?

Berlin syndrome is a book turned movie about an adventurous young photographer, Claire, who meets a charming young German teacher, Andy, in her travel to Germany. They hit it off pretty quickly... then everything goes dark pretty quickly. SPOILER ALERT! Andy is a psychopath who holds Claire hostage in his house leaving her desperate to get out. Does she get out?

Join us on this episode with the author of the book MELANIE JOOSTEN as we discuss toxic relationships and her debut novel turn big screen movie.

September 17, 2020GONE
The GONE series is ranking top five on my list of best YA novels. Imagine my shock when Michael Grant, the author of over a hundred books and the sole author of GONE said, "Yes" to speaking with us on the his experiences and journey to creating the books.
Michael Grant is an American author of over 160 books, though most he co-authored with his wife, Katherine Applegate. They created the Animorphs, the Everworld series and the Making Out series. Grant is the sole author of the Gone series, the BZRK series, the Messenger of Fear series, and the Front Lines trilogy.
On this episode, we discuss The Gone Series. When the adults suddenly disappear, kids under the age of fifteen are left to fend for themselves. That would be terrifying enough, but then, they discover that some of them had mutated due to exposure to some kind of radiation. Now there are kids running around with telekinesis, super strength, laser beams, super speed and literal green fingers that sprout vegetation from the soil. Things might not be so bad without the adults, at least they thought until they learn that they weren't the only living species that mutated. There are talking coyotes and mutated diseases. Who will be in charge? Who will stop little kids from killing each other? More importantly, what happens after you turn fifteen?
You can find out more about Michael Grant by following him on Twitter @MichaelGrantBks or click the link https://twitter.com/MichaelGrantBks?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor
