![]() ![]() Suffice it to say I cried a lot while reading Tohr's story. ![]() ![]() There were scenes where I felt like I was chopping onions. Some of the sentences in this are like an assault to the solar plexus. how can you possibly follow an act like that? Their back story, the glimpses we see of their relationship in the first three books. Seriously, Tohrment and Wellsie? Probably one of the most romantic couples I've ever come across in the PNR/UF genre. Let me be frank: I had very little faith that Ward could pull a romance like this off. But save for getting Wellsie back, I believe Tohr was dealt the best hand possible in Lover Reborn. I know a lot of people aren't happy that Tohrment doesn't get Wellsie back. And now that his time has finally come, I'm pleased to say that Ward doesn't disappoint. I've wanted him to find peace and healing ever since that fateful scene at the end of Lover Awakened, but I knew it would take time. But I knew that, if Ward did it right, Tohrment's book had the potential to be the best installment to the series in a long time. Lover Unleashed was disappointing for me on several levels. Verily, Ward, you hath redeemed thyself in mine eyes. ![]() ![]() Luca can’t enter the Fae realm, and Cair’s time in the mortal lands is drawing to an end, so while the attraction between them is irresistible, their situation is impossible.

Miss Marple's independent mind and acute sense of human nature-not unlike Christie's own-have made her an enduring prototype in detective fiction. ![]() The star of a dozen novels and twenty short stories, the shrewd and curious Jane Marple was inspired by Agatha Christie's grandmother and her cronies in the leafy London suburb of Ealing. A Murder is Announced by Agatha Christie - Agatha Christie Miss Marple Novel 1950 Promoted on both sides of the Atlantic as Agatha Christie's 50th book and published in 1950 by William Collins, A Murder is Announced is a staple of crime fiction and is often considered the best of all the Miss Marple novels. But who killed him? An ingenious riddle is set for Miss Marple in this 50th book by Agatha Christie, from 1950, in a handsome new edition that should be in everyone's mystery library.

It’s such a simple idea but it feels complex. As before, the magic system is remarkably well crafted, and it continues to grow as more of the character’s capabilities are explored. Interesting times ahead as his magic slips through his finger, everything special about him is gone. It’s a hard pill to swallow and it’s going to take him to some darker places for sure. ![]() And up until now he has always been able to make the impossible real. The world looks to him for salvation and leadership the world looks to him to make things right. As such he is becoming less rational and quicker to anger as he still struggles to uphold his many burdens. And it’s not something I expected to see in a fantasy that is not grimdark. His actions have taken a darker turn as he has become more and more desperate to find a resolution to all his problems. Gavin’s journey continues to surprise me. The Blinding Knife delivers more flashes of magic and storytelling brilliance making for a solid second instalment in the Lightbringer Series. ![]() ![]() I enjoyed it - enough that I zoomed right along, laughed out loud a few times, and, if I'd had it on a day off, I'd have read it in one sitting - but not so much that I'm excited for the second book in the series. ![]() You may have deduced from the title, Wicked Appetite, that this adventure revolves around the stone that controls gluttony. This, being the first book in a series, only deals with one of the stones. ![]() As well as a Book of Spells that may or may not actually work. Tall, Blond, Handsome and Clearly Dangerous shows up and informs her that due to a Power she hadn't even known she'd possessed, she is A) in danger and B) going to have to help him Save the World by collecting the Seven Stones that control the Seven Deadly Sins before his Tall, Dark, Handsome, Clearly Dangerous and Probably Evil cousin.Ī seriously tough housecat and an extremely rude monkey also take part in the action.

I mean, who does magic? Why is magic part of this story? GARCIA-NAVARRO: So tell me about the magic. But the magic part was there to have some little fun but also to kind of exaggerate some of the things that are going on in the time periods and also kind of help me illuminate some of the Reconstruction era of the 1870s, of Philadelphia, and make it a little bit fun with a little bit - there's a little bit of magic in there. But there is a layer of magic in there and mystery, of course. I did some research to make sure to get the history close as possible. GLOVER: It's very much like our world, a little bit of our history. Walk us through this world that you created.
