I am tired today because I HAD to stay up until the wee hours chasing Briar and Zeke as they finished their nail-bitting adventure which left me craving more. I rushed out after work today so that tonight I could start Fathom. I am quite sure it will be just as fulfilling. Cherie Priest carves a tale so creative, imaginative, and enjoyable, that you won't realize how much you have been sucked in until its over. It is a heartfelt story about being honest with who you love, not taking them for granted, coming to terms with your painful past and embracing the future.  As a fan of Steampunk Anime, I found my way to the proverbial alter of Cherie Priest from a picture that Wil Wheaton took of his bookshelf and posted on Twitter. On that self was Boneshaker, which someone commented was about Seattle. As a fellow Southern woman, newly relocated to the PacNW, I was sold. What else is there to love when you read on the cover zombies, Seattle and Steampunk. I am a devotee for life. Just don't go Anne Rice on me.
