Nikyta: A couple months ago JustJen made me read a review that she was writing to see if it made any sense. I read it and was like wow, that story is crazy! She agreed and said it was but she had no idea how to describe it! Well, a few weeks later I came across this book that I found interesting and I was talking to her about it and she was like, that’s the book I had you read the review for! I was all like, no way! Long story short, I read the book (In Liam’s Wake) and adored it, so I immediately read the sequel, From Johann to Tannenbaum, which was an even better story, IMO. So, it gives me great pleasure to pimp it a little bit. Hope everyone likes this snippet as much as I did!

About the Book:
Johann Andreas IV is a rich loser who has a raw deal in life. He is handsome, yet with a poor self-image, clever, but still uneducated, and despite being the heir apparent in his grandfather’s will, he’s about to be thrown out with nothing.
In the underground colony of his birth, two things matter the most to its denizens: a name, which will guarantee his wealth and status, and a designated branding tattoo, the only thing allowing Colony-Dwellers to live safely underground. Johann has one year to secure both.
His grandfather’s unexpected passing has propelled Johann to the foreground of his family. He must learn the family business within the year. He’s up to the challenge but one thing stands in his way; his mother has plans of her own…and they don’t include him.
