Who it’s for: Adults, Teens

It’s everyone’s favorite meddling kids, re-imagined for a new generation. Meet:

Fred Jones, Daphne’s loyal camera man, who has carried a torch for her for years.

Norville “Shaggy” Rogers, dog trainer for a mysterious science lab called The Complex.

Scoobert “Scooby” Doo, prototype of a Complex experiment to create intelligent dogs to serve in the military.

And Dr. Velma Dinkley, top scientist at The Complex, and maybe the world’s only hope at stopping an experiment gone wrong that’s turning the human race into monsters.

This unlikely gang traverse the land in a literal Mystery Machine (What is the actual purpose of this armored van they escaped The Complex in?) trying to survive… The Scooby Apocalypse.

February 27, 2019 by Sue Clifton Leave a Comment

Year One by Nora Roberts 
Audio Book                         
Who its for: Adults

Lana and Max live in a New York apartment. They are learning how to practice and manage the magic they have discovered they possess. Their passionate relationship and practice of “witch craft” is emerging and evolving when the plaque began.

The virus hit on New Year’s Eve taking out almost 80 percent of the human population within a matter of weeks and months. Survivors must figure out how to live. Where to go to be safe. How to manage survival in the post-apocalyptic city, where a new magical paradigm exists and how to get out.

They along with some of the others who did not succumb to the plaque have made it out of the dangerous cities where much evil and bad magic is in control. The appearance of varied sets of magical abilities in a large part of the surviving population can be good or evil.

Along the way, Max and Lana eventually form a band with others like them, looking for refuge and a new place to live. Eventually they come upon a place where a new beginning is underway.

Lana is carrying Max’s child who she learns early on has magical abilities, and a special destiny.

After an attack on their new community, Lana realizes that she and her unborn child are hunted. She must find sanctuary away from the community, which eventually comes in the form of a remote farm.

This fast-paced thought provoking novel will keep you enthralled where survival, human kindness and evil exist along with magical abilities. Where good people combat evil.
