Unstoppable by S.R. Johannes *Blog Tour* Grace' Favorite Things






After everything that has happened, Grace moves to the Everglades to live with her grandmother, Birdee, and hang out with old man Rex, Birdee's "friend with benefits". Grace quickly befriends Dylan, Rex's nephew, and Dylan's girlfriend, Sadie, who is a die-hard teen activist. Sadie spends her time leading protests against the roadside zoos that run rampant in Florida with a total disregard for animals or the flimsy law.

One day while out in the marshes of the Everglades, Grace and her friends rescue an abused—and endangered—Florida panther. She and Birdee spend time rehabilitating the animal. But when the panther runs off, Grace follows it to Uncle Bob's, a large roadside zoo they all have been protesting. One that is illegally filled with a variety of endangered and exotic animals. Before she can rescue the panther, she and her friends are kidnapped by the ruthless owner and dragged deep into the Everglades for a hunting challenge. 

Only this time, Grace is the prey. 

During a sick game of cat and mouse, Grace and her friends are offered one chance at survival, but only if they reach civilization before being caught. With a small head start and very little supplies, only time and skill stand between the hunter and the hunted. But out in the Everglades, there may be more dangers than Grace realizes.

Against all odds, Grace must make it out alive and win, or everything she holds dear could be lost.

If you don't know I adore these books! Grace is an amazing character and I heart her so... today I have for you her favorite things... so sit back and delve a little more into Grace from Unstoppable!


My (Grace Wells) Favorite Things! 


1. Hatchet, by Gary Paulsen.


So my dad read to me from this book a lot, and it was his favorite. I started reading it to be closer to him, and realized the main character was a lot like me :) Wilderness survival junkie and all! 


2. Cinn-o-buns

There's nothing better than a hot one of these babies! The ones at my mom's diner aren't bad, especially with all that cream cheese :)


3. Spicy Cheetos!


This one's pretty self-explanatory. Spicy. Cheetos. If it weren't for these bad boys, I wouldn't have the energy necessary to fight half the bear poaching, ebuilding bad guys I do ;)


4. My dad's famous homemade chocolate mousse

My dad came up with this recipe for dessert one night when I was little, and he made it for me whenever I had a bad day :) There's even caramel swirls in it! 



5. Monty Python 

The kings of all comedy! Dad and I would watch their movies all the time, especially "The Holy Grail." There isn't a moment where "tis but a flesh wound" isn't appropriate ;)



And last but certainly not least…..

6. Moon-pies!!! 


These are heavenly pastries of marshmallow madness! The cornerstone of my diet and one of my true loves in life (other than Mo, of course), Moon-pies are just plainly fantastic. Birdee prefers the chocolate mint crunchies, but I love the double decker chocolates.



Make sure you pick up your copy today and if you haven't started the series yet well... get on it you won't be disappointed :)

Uncontrollable by S.R. Johannes Tour Stop



Uncontrollable

by S.R. Johannes
Release Day September 24th 2012
As Grace recovers from tragedy, her science class is chosen by Agent Sweeney at the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service to help with research on the new "Red Wolf Reintroduction Program".

While she’s excited about helping with the conservation of the endangered wolves, Grace knows this means being outdoors in the worst winter recorded, in a place she no longer feels comfortable. It also means working closely with Wyn (her ex) and his annoying girlfriend (Skyler), a girl whose idea of getting close to nature is picking silk plants and growing fake plants.

After a couple of wolves show up dead, Grace almost quits. However, when a fellow project team member goes missing, Grace continues the assignment under a renewed suspicion that someone might be sabotaging the conservation program. She quietly begins to hunt for clues.

Little does she know, she is being hunted too.



Check out the rest of the tour with the banner above!


Review : 

Let's start with the cover : It's Beautiful! and perfectly fits with the series! Vania has done a wonderful job on both this one and the Untraceable cover I heart them so much :)

S.R. Johannes does an amazing job of weaving this story into something incredible ... Where I loved the first one for the same reason, this story steps it up a notch. I love how she makes it so that you questions EVERYONE! I never know who is good and who is not. When I come to the conclusion that one thing is going on... BAM I'm left with your mouth hanging open and thinking that was masterful!

Grace : She is still reeling with everything she has lost... but she is trying to get back into her life. She throws herself into a project thinking this will help. There is nothing about her that I don't like. She is a strong female character with flaws and all. She is a quick thinker and protects her friends/family with all she has.

The other characters are amazing all in their own ways. None of them are "flat" they are each well developed throughout the story.

I went as I was reading feeling all the things that Grace did... from her overwhelming sadness from having lost 2 men that she loved to all the terrifying things she has to deal with. I cannot tell you much more without giving all the things away, and you know I just won't do that :)

GET THIS if you Love/like Romance, Intrigue, suspense or adventure... roll them all together and you have
Uncontrollable!
