The Hunted of 2060 by Ami Blackwelder

Author Ami Blackwelder has recently released her newest paranormal romance "The Hunted of 2060".

About The Book:
In America 2060, three lovers and two species will have to fight for one way to survive. April, a Sophomore in college, discovers she is an alien-human hybrid, a species hunted by Rogue Militia and finds herself on a dangerous path of self-discovery, belonging to a race on the verge of extinction. Robert, the love of her life, is put at risk as she struggles with who she was and who she is becoming, while a family she never knew existed enters her life, another male pursues her, and her existence becomes a cat and mouse game with enemies she will have to outrun, outfight or outwit to survive.
General Raul has no mercy for the invading species, but April realizes the General has secrets of his own. Secrets which robbed April of her mother and grandfather and involve hybrid DNA. She must save more than herself, or the world will fall into the hands of a madman. With underlining themes of how prejudice breaks human connections and a theme of wildlife conservation, April speaks to the core of what makes us human. An original and dark paranormal romance!

Fans of Gena Showater's 'Teen Alien Huntress', and Maggie Steifvarter's 'Shiver', as well as fans of the movie 'Cursed' starring Josh Jackson, and fans of Keri Arthur's Riley Jenson series will enjoy this Hunted of 2060 saga.

Reviews:
Although I have not yet personally read this book there are reviews from others which I would like to share... (Click on the reviewers name to read more).

"Overall, Hunted 2060 is a good read for anyone who is looking for a recreational read that actually has some depth to it, but doesn’t feel too heavy handed." - by marcjohnsonbooks

"Blackwelder did a fantastic job pulling the reader in from the first page. With everything we know of all books in this genre, she keeps a lot of originality to keep just the right twist on it." - BK Walker

"This book is destined to be a runaway best-seller. Ami Blackwelder has created a world which surpasses the entire Twilight series, but which contains many of the elements which made that series so popular. The teenage girl who discovers she's a hybrid species is believable and you truly care what happens to her. The love angles are handled skillfully, and the entire world which Ami has created is believable and draws you in." - Dreamweaver

Captain Zoom REVIEW!!!

I was recently approached by a Captain Zoom Representative regarding a review. I had not heard of Captain Zoom or his personalized songs for special occasions. I was however a fan of personalized songs and always wanted to see what my children's response would be to one. I did my usual background check on the site and product to make sure it would be worth my time and I was impressed with all of Captain Zoom fans. These were fans from years ago (Captain Zoom was introduced in 1979)! With all of the great feedback from past customers I couldn't pass this opportunity up. This was also perfect timing since my youngest was about to have a birthday!

Review:
Nothing can describe the happiness you feel when you know your child or loved one is filled with excitement and joy. This is the feeling I got when I saw my daughter beaming while listening to her very own Captain Zoom Personalized Birthday Song.

On the day of my daughters birthday I was worried since my husband and I had been up all night with our son who had gotten the flu. We were all tired and had to cancel any birthday plans. My daughter was so excited when she woke up, but realized that her birthday wasn't going to go as planned. However, Captain Zoom came to the rescue. I told my daughter that even though we were stuck home all day, a special friend wanted to sing a very special birthday song just for her. This is when I gave her the CD, we opened it and put it in the CD player. I recorded her reaction and this is a "Must See"!

(Know that I edited out parts where it said her name, for privacy reasons. This is also just bits and pieces from the song)

I LOVE Captain Zoom in fact my son has requested his own song. Lucky for me and all of my readers Captain Zoom is offering a discount!!!
