![]() ![]() Kat, one of the main protagonists, was definitely not like the female characters that are currently being written. What I did like in the story was the characters. A strong female protagonist? Count me in! Unfortunately not laid in a good way…if you catch my drift □ Without giving too much away, this story is about a girl who has everything torn from her but still manages to stand strong on her two feet. The book needs no time to draw you into the story, from the very first page the plot has been laid. The first book in the series is called Dark of Night. However, let me move forward to the first book of her new spin-off series, Ashwood Red. ![]() ![]() However, her blurb sounded like something I would like and so I continued and fell in love, have had my heart ripped out, stomped on, and put back oh so delicately. I actually downloaded Jex Lane by accident not typically reading m/m paranormal. I knew that during the flight and in brief moments to myself I would need to be transported away. I was getting on a plane to visit my father who recently decided to tell me had a cancerous tumor removed. ![]() It was October and my world was torn upside down. Please allow me to take a step Let me back up, I found Jex Lane and her Beautiful Monsters series in October 2017. Please, take my hand, as we jump feet first into the world of Jex Lane. ![]() ![]() Unlike some of Ellison's collections, the introductory notes to each story can be as short as a phrase and rarely run more than a sentence or two. Sometimes they're dead or dying, some of them are as brand-new as today's technology. The theme of the collection can be loosely defined as God, or Gods. The collection contains some of Ellison's best stories from earlier collections and is judged by some to be his most consistently high quality collection of short fiction. Harlan Ellison's masterwork of myth and terror as he seduces all innocence on a mind-freezing odyssey into the darkest reaches of mortal terror and the most dazzling heights of Olympian hell in his finest collection.ĭeathbird Stories is a collection of 19 of Harlan Ellison's best stories, including Edgar and Hugo winners, originally published between 19. ![]() ![]() ![]() Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat’s dad needs her help. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat’s father isn’t just on the suspect list, he is the list.

Brief Summary of Book: Heist Society (Heist Society, #1) by Ally Carter ![]() ![]() ![]() Manager Owen Cadogen is livid, not only at having to stop work but also because of unfinished business with Ursula Downes, the head archaeologist. Nora, an expert on bog bodies, has no sooner arrived from Dublin than another multiply murdered victim turns up in the peat, this time wearing a wristwatch that indicates a somewhat later demise. But sometimes the earth yields up treasures with no monetary value-like an Iron Age body, preserved by its immersion, and showing signs of triple death: garroted by a leather cord, throat slashed, and drowned in a ritual associated with Celtic human sacrifice. The Loughnabrone hoard of Iron Age artifacts netted Dominic Brazil and his younger brother Danny $20,000, although rumors persist that they didn’t turn over quite everything they found to the National Museum. ![]() ![]() Bad things come in threes when pathologist Nora Gavin ( Haunted Ground, 2003) is called to examine an ancient corpse buried in the peat at Loughnabrone Bog.īog excavation is part archaeology, part commerce, and those who harvest peat often come across unexpected treasure. ![]() ![]() ![]() My lifetime goal of leaving the world a better place than I found it.

They met and really bonded one night at a bar only to find out that they were not meant to be. What if you chose differently, what would your life be like? This happened to Iris and August. Long Shot does remind me of the movie Sliding Doors, which is actually mentioned in this book. Heck, the book is super huge, so I decided to borrow the audiobook instead. ![]() I won a signed copy of this book from Malia ( and it took me a while to get into. I think that is what makes this book a riveting read and ultimately what made the HEA very, very satisfying. Yes, this book has trigger warnings for anyone who has experienced abuse because this book deals with it point blank. I actually read book 2 Block Shot first and was very hesitant to read Long Shot because of the subject. I don’t exactly know how to start this review because Long Shot is a hard book to review. ![]() ![]() ![]() This time, Beka is after forgers and her chase brings her to the bright and vibrant port city.

Rating Out of 5: 5 (I will read this again and again and again) ![]() ![]() “She is so lovely and so incredibly intelligent.” Joe Alwyn, the British actor set to star in the upcoming adaptation of Conversations, is similarly smitten. “I want to consume everything Sally Rooney forever!” says Edgar-Jones from the set of her latest film, in New Orleans. The subsequent BBC and Hulu TV adaptation has been streamed more than 62 million times on BBC iPlayer alone and made overnight household names of its two newcomer stars, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Paul Mescal, who naturally adore her. “Salinger for the Snapchat generation” is how she was introduced to the world (“I remember thinking at the time,” Rooney guiltily recalls, “What is Snapchat?”), and anticipation for her follow-up was reaching fever pitch.įast-forward to 2021, and that second novel, Normal People, a will-they-won’t-they? tale for the millennial era about two students, Marianne and Connell, has to date sold more than three million copies worldwide, been praised by everyone from Barack Obama to Taylor Swift, and been translated into 46 languages. Her debut, Conversations With Friends-the story of two best friends and one’s adulterous relationship with an older married man-had been out for a year, and already Rooney was haloed by a cult status: a literary novelist who had broken the mainstream. Three years ago, on an early summer’s afternoon in leafy Bloomsbury, London, a 27-year-old Sally Rooney and I were sitting in the grand offices of her British publisher, Faber, discussing her upcoming second novel. ![]() ![]() Valid in the US and Canada.Subscribe to Libro FM!
