I began reading at the same time as everyone else, but I picked up one of my mother's Harlequin's when I was about 9 and became hooked. I soaked up every story I could read, I didn't care how many chapters it was or who wrote it, what the cover looked like, or what the synopsis said. I had one goal with every book I picked up, I just wanted it to take me to another world. Because I read so much I have always been able to pretty much figure out what is most likely going to happen at the end of each book. Well let me tell you what happened when I read this book.
Synopsis:
About the author:
A.B. Shepherd grew up in Lansing, Michigan, but moved to Australia once her children had grown and empty nest syndrome set in.
She now lives in the Limestone Coast region of South Australia, with her husband and their imaginary friends.
She loves living near the Southern Ocean and often finds it inspiring. She can usually be found seaside at Port MacDonnell, or lost in a fantasy world.
Lifeboat is her debut novel. Her second book, The Beacon is anticipated to be released in time for Christmas 2013.

My review:
In the beginning I was excited by what happened and wanted to know what happened next. This is what happens when you get sucked inside. Then I felt sympathy, confusion and then some awe. When I got closer to the end of the book it went something like this:
Really?? OMG! *clicking page* (so excited) *dances in wheel chair*
No Way! *clicking page* Holy crap it did happen! (even more excited)
*gulp* Omg! She did not just do that!
Then I read the last chapter and it goes something like this:
WTF???? * clicks back several pages* ( did I miss something??)
WTF???? and I just continued to say this for several hours after I read it.
I have never been fooled by a book. Not ever, until now!
The book itself was amazing, I hung onto every word and was so immersed in the story that I forgot to go to sleep. It was the first time I ever felt the need to immediately re-read a book to check if I missed some clues somewhere. So I read the book three times before finally passing out from exhaustion.
I have rated this 5 out of 5 for very obvious reasons and if I could rate it higher I would!
Synopsis:
Cass has lost everything; her husband, her son, and her will to live.
She
walks in the dark when sleep eludes her. One sleepless summer night she
spies a UFO and discovers a new obsession. It gives much-needed focus
to her empty life.
When natural disasters destroy the Earth,
Cass and other survivors are rescued and taken to a new world where the
human race can begin anew. But something is wrong here. This may not be
the paradise they’ve been promised. Survivors are vanishing without a
trace.
Can Cass unravel the riddle in time to save herself?
