The Eighth Day by Dianne K. Salerni is this action adventure
series that has Arthurian links to it.
Jax’s life sucks, his father died recently and now lives with Riley, a
19 year old, as his guardian. After his
birthday Jax notices something odd, he wakes up to a quiet world. Thinking that something bad occurred he
rushes to Walmart and takes the necessary things like water bottles and canned
food, think that there is a zombie apocalypse coming. What he’s in for is a ride for of a life
time. Come to find out, he is part of
this century’s long battle of good and evil that is all tied to the original
King Arthur and Merlin, and they all live within the 8th day, some
like himself live during the regular 7 days as well.
I really liked the idea of there being an 8th day
in the week that only certain people live in, much like Jax and everyone like
him. His friendship with Evangeline, one
of the beings that only live in the 8th day is sweet and
interesting. The connections of the
characters to the Legend of King Arthur characters are also intriguing. Fast pace and adventurous, this stunning
debut will win over many readers.
4 out 5 stars. Thanks
