Author Notes on Forgotten

"Forgotten introduces 3 new characters, all of which bring a new dimension to the zombie apocalypse caused by the AM13 virus. These 3 people all have their story told from their point-of-view as the situation around them becomes increasingly dire.

Ethan is an obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) sufferer who's condition has affected his life dramatically. His fear or germs, disease and illness has caused him to become isolated, afraid, 'different'. There is no chance someone this frightened can survive the zombies...is there?

Alyssa is an overly confident teenage girl who has spent her life daydreaming about the zombie apocalypse finally arriving - and now that it has, she knows with an absolute certainty that she will survive. She's read all the books, watched all the films, done all the research. She's strong, tough...a badass! Any group would be lucky to fight alongside her.

And finally, there is Dr. Jones, the scientist who can't understand why he alone seems to have been selected to attempt to cure the virus...surely there are survivors that are much more experienced than him in virology? And what will happen to him if he fails? Is the fate of the human race really resting on his shoulders alone?

These characters are also frustratingly real and not what you'd expect from a zombie apocalypse novel. The AM13 series tells the stories of the people usually ignored, forgotten about. You may love it, you may hate it, but you won't know until you try it :)"

Author Notes on Lockdown

"Leah isn't the typical heroine that you find in zombie apocalyptic novels. She's not got any of the survivalist skills needed in this horror-filled situation; she isn't strong, level-headed or able...she certainly isn't someone you'd want on your team!

In fact, Leah is flawed, frustrating, she's actually a bit of an airhead. She's 23-years-old but is very young in her mind - indecisive, desperately insecure and afraid of real life (and that's before the arrival of any zombies). She's always been a 'follower' in her life, and continues to be so throughout the plot. Leah stays true to her - albeit imperfect - self.

She is what makes Lockdown a unique read. Following her journey into the unknown isn't full of action and smart decisions. Is Leah a protagonist that you'll route for? There is only one way to find out!"

Raised in seclusion, Lorelei is suddenly taken forcibly from the only place she has ever known. Her captors, led by a man named Crewe, become enamored of the fair Lorelei, except the warrior named Ajax, who refuses to accept her innocence. Suspicions lead him to act upon deep-rooted instinct. Lorelei can feel his distaste for her, almost palpable in the air, while she struggles against the confusing feelings he stirs within her. Everything about Ajax appeals to her, while he seems intent on causing her harm. Ajax, bred from a lineage thought to be only myth, struggles between his nature and the intense desires that Lorelei inflames within him. Her very being causes him to question everything he believed to be true. When Lorelei is taken from his grasp, and her life is threatened, he realizes he will stop at nothing to save her, even if it is at the risk of his own life. The notorious Teller arrives at Falls Landing, making strategically violent moves against the crown, causing fear and doubt to stir in the hearts of the people. Fueled by a vengeance so fierce, Teller has woven an intricate plan for the demise of the royal structure, the king, and the true target of his hatred. The once-proud King Brom spirals into the web of lies and deceit his own wife, Queen Peronell, has spun around him. His ability to rule the kingdom comes into question as he encounters threats that infiltrate his realm. The truth of his downfall soon confronts him, and he is left to face what will remain. Prince Arthur struggles with dark urges that threaten his sanity. His thirst for pain, pleasure, and the taste of blood begin to control him. When his secretive mother reveals the truth of his existence, he embraces his nature, even biting the hand that feeds him. His fascination soon turns toward the mysterious beauty that shows up at his door, and he will destroy anything that gets in his way. All paths collide, and Lorelei finds herself in the middle of a struggle for power. She must face the truth of her creation, confront the powers that seek her, and face the new world that has forever changed from the protective walls of her forest. The dangers that surround her have been in play long before Lorelei was born, but they have been awaiting her arrival. Lorelei will also discover something that gives her the strength to face all that confronts her, her heart holding the key.

Review: I'm a huge fan of Samantha Young's books. I love the way her characters are layered, complex and seemingly fall in love with their complete opposites - with disastrous and amazing, steamy consequences, and this book is no different. Grace and Logan are like chalk and cheese, but their chemistry negates this and they end up in a complicated relationship. The story line is pushed forward by these characters, and by the end of the book I wanted more! Highly recommended.
