5/13/2023 0 Comments WandfastedWith this particular novella, I only chose to read the summary listed here on Goodreads, which is quite short. When I go into a novel or the supplemental material in a series, I try and remain as unspoiled as I can for personal enjoyment's sake. That being said, I do wish that I had gone into this with a better idea of what this story was actually about, because I think not knowing exactly what I was getting into sort of impacted my enjoyment of it until I figured out exactly what I was reading, and what sort of story this novella was trying to tell. Fans of the complex world-building and layered politics and relationships between the various cultures in this world are sure to love this simply for what it adds to the reader's understanding of the world and certain characters in it. Laurie Forest returns in this prequel novella to her stunning debut YA Fantasy novel, The Black Witch. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Alex and eliza love and war“A fitting end to a popular series.”- Kirkus ReviewsĪ Seventeen Magazine Best YA Book of 2017 The sweeping love story of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler comes to a close in All for One, the riveting final installment of the New York Times bestselling Alex & Eliza trilogy.

Now in paperback, the dazzling finale to the trilogy that began with the New York Times bestselling Alex & Eliza: A Love Story, about the epic romance of Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler.Īs a young nation begins to take shape, Alexander Hamilton and Elizabeth Schuyler are on top of the world. This is the book that you never knew you needed but was everything you were waiting for. You can take this premise and apply it to Annie Emerson’s debut duet, Thirteen Hours to You. Sometimes in life, you are blessed to come across people that will enrich your lives and make you feel full. I will continue to her read books, but this one just didn’t hit the mark for me. I have read other books from Shantel and have loved them, yet it saddens me that Sabotage was just kind of there and I read it because it was available. There were certain situations that just happened, but it didn’t make sense overall, nor had a resolution to some. Beyond that, I had trouble finding a plotline. If you like over-the-top, alpha, and uber possessive (she’s mine and you can’t have her) heroes, there is Colton. If you like hot, steamy, yet degraded, and submissive heroines, then Raylee is your girl. Because of this, there is a flowing push/pull thread weaved throughout the book. It’s not clearly explained why they hate each other so much, just that as stepsiblings they do. Colton and Raylee are stepsiblings with a vehement hatred for each other. This isn’t sunny and bright.įrom the first word in the prologue, you know that you are headed for some hot, steamy, and dare I say, erotic times. There are dark romances and then there are the other dark romances that make ‘dark’ romances seem sunny and bright. Shantel Tessier does a good job of explaining what they are. Straight out of the gate, beware of the trigger warnings. 5/13/2023 0 Comments An enchantment of ravens reviewShe paints mortal sorrow in his eyes – a weakness that could cost him his life.įurious and devastated, Rook spirits her away to the autumn lands to stand trial for her crime. But when she receives her first royal patron-Rook, the autumn prince-she makes a terrible mistake. They crave human Craft with a terrible thirst, and Isobel’s paintings are highly prized among them. Synopsis: Isobel is a prodigy portrait artist with a dangerous set of clients: the sinister fair folk, immortal creatures who cannot bake bread, weave cloth, or put a pen to paper without crumbling to dust. The crisp spice of pine sap infused the cool air over a musty perfume of dry leaves. Vivid moss speckled the branches like tarnished copper. Rising from the forest floor, the black, tangled roots breathed a bluish mist that reduced the farthest trees’ trunks to ghostly silhouettes, yet left their foliage’s luminous hues untouched. A scarlet carpet unrolled before us, rich and flawless as velvet. The golden leaves flashing by blazed like sparks caught in the updraft of a fire. BOOK REVIEW: An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogersonĭim as it was, the forest glowed. Although scorned by the critics, the tawdry drugstore novels sell like hotcakes – or so Jacob is assured by the enterprising head of Blue Devil Books, a pioneer in paperback publishing, known for its two-fisted heroes and underclad cover girls.Īs “Jack Holly,” Jacob finds success as the author of scandalously bestselling crime novels. The pulp magazines he used to write for are dying, replaced by a revolutionary new publishing racket: paperback novels, offering cheap excitement for the common man and woman. Fresh from the War in Europe, hack writer Jacob Heppleman discovers a changed world back home. Estleman: lurid paperback covers promised sex and danger, but what went on behind the scenes was nearly as spicy as the adventures between the covers.ġ946. Paperback Jack is a brand new historical thriller from Grand Master Loren D. In this book, you’ll be wrapped up in her ongoing emotional and intellectual excursions with womanhood, anxiety, relationships, social media, body image, and so much more. Her experiences will make you laugh until you cry, yet, never takes away from the immensity of life lessons she is bringing forth. Koul takes on this meaningful endeavor with an expert amount of humor. Her voice is so genuine and enthralling that her first book gives off coffee shop small talk vibes rather than revealing it for what it truly is: a series of essays that explore important struggles of this century and consequently challenges readers to become more informed individuals. Scaachi Koul is one of the most intelligent and introspective authors I’ve read in recent years. As it so happens, I was light-years more excited to read the other two novels I picked up that day but, alas, it was One Day We’ll All Be Dead and None of This Will Matter that truly stole my heart. Though the title seemed a tad morbid initially, it intrigued me and after discovering that the author was a cultural writer for Buzzfeed, I was sold. As I stepped through the double doors of my library this past week, my eye was immediately drawn to this fluorescent cover displayed proudly among the new releases. If that didn’t spark your interest at all then you probably don’t appreciate the power of sarcasm which is the underlying tone of this entire book of essays. If the title of this book didn’t immediately spark your interest, then the modified title, One Day This Will Matter, probably did. 5/13/2023 0 Comments Trail of lightning roanhorseThrough the novel, Hoskie and a medicine man call Kai travel the roads and communities of Dinétah in search of the witch who is creating monsters using a magic black flint drill.
