Review:
"This explosive, emotional, page-turning debut about a high school held hostage is told from the perspective of four teens - each with their own reason to fear the boy with the gun."

Mark your calendars - January 5th, 2016 - that is the day that this book will be released.

Taking place from 10:01 a. m. - 10:55 a. m. on the first day of the last semester, this book revolves around four particular students as they face a horrifying reality.
Two of the students (the shooter's sister, Autumn and her girlfriend, Sylv) are trapped within the auditorium.
The other two students (the shooter's ex-girlfriend, Claire and Sylv's brother, Tomás) are outside of the auditorium.

This book is a fast-paced read that will show you how your life could change in a split-second!

Rooms

An extremely unique spiritual journey!

This is the kind of book that makes you think about and evaluate life more thoroughly.

I will definitely be reading more of Rubart's works!

Cross Roads

If you have read 'The Shack' then you should definitely enjoy 'Cross Roads'.
(I liked it even better than 'The Shack')

If you haven't read either, both are recommended reads.
