Books From The Backlog-The Dwellers


Books from the Backlog is a fun way to feature some of those neglected books sitting on your bookshelf.  You might be surprised by some of the unread books hiding in your stacks. Go to Carole's blog and add your blog post link in to join in the fun! Hosted by Carole at https://carolesrandomlife.blogspot.co.uk/

This seems like a fun feature and I have been planning to take part since Carole launched this so at last, here we go! I have a TON of unread books to choose from in various genres and I'm looking forward to sharing some of them with everybody. 


In a desperate attempt to escape destruction decades earlier, humankind was forced underground, into the depths of the earth, creating a new society called the Tri-Realms. After her parents and sister are abducted by the Enforcers, seventeen-year-old Adele, a member of the middle-class moon dwellers, is unjustly sentenced to life in prison for her parents' crimes of treason. Against all odds, Adele must escape from the Pen and find her family, while being hunted by a deranged, killing machine named Rivet, who works for the President. She is helped by two other inmates, Tawni and Cole, each of whom have dark secrets that are better left undiscovered. Other than her friends, the only thing she has going for her is a wicked roundhouse kick and two fists that have been well-trained for combat by her father.

At the other end of the social spectrum is Tristan, the son of the President and a sun dweller. His mother is gone. He hates his father. Backed by only his servant and best friend, Roc, he leaves his lavish lifestyle in the Sun Realm, seeking to make something good out of his troubled life. When a war breaks out within the Tri-Realms, Tristan is thrust into the middle of a conflict that seems to mysteriously follow Adele as she seeks to find her family and uncover her parents true past.

In their world, someone must die.


The Moon Dwellers was the first Indie book I did a read and review for when I saw a special promotion for it, and anyone interested had a chance to get a free copy if they reviewed it. I read and loved it...but for some reason I kept getting distracted from reading the rest of the series and then I fell out of love with YA so never went back to it. I really do need to get this series finally dealt with. Next year is going to be so busy with catching up on series!

  1. I actually own this one but have never read it. I'm pretty sure I grabbed it for free once too.

    1. I bought the other books straight away so it is dreadful that I never went straight to reading them! I fell out of love with YA so I'm more nervous to read them now!

    1. Sometimes I think I'm more of a book hoarder! I love the buzz of buying them but take ages to read them!

  3. Dystopians are always a bit frightening to me, especially when the authors are able to make their new world seem plausible

    1. I hope I enjoy the rest of the series! I'm just worried as I'm not the fan of YA that I used to be!
