Just like the cover, our hero has a skull for a head. Every time she shows him the slightest kindness he nearly loses his mind with joy and Orpheus expresses his emotions through the glowing orbs that are his eyes which leads to some really cute scenes. Reia doesn’t really fear Orpheus, our Duskwalker, and that really throws him off. He is instead a kind, caring, and thoughtful (as much as he can be) individual who has been horribly hurt by a previous lover and has his own emotional issues to overcome. Faced with with a lifetime of imprisonment, Reia has no choice but to be the one who ensures the Duskwalker renews the ward that keeps the village safe from demons.īut, of course, our Duskwalker is not the soulless monster that everyone assumes. Forced to live alone and treated horribly for supposedly bringing on the deaths of her family, Reia has been offered by the village to be a virgin sacrifice to a Duskwalker. Reia has been shunned by her entire village. While I found the world building to be a little uneven, I loved the characters and found their journey to love to be sweet, super hot, and quite adventurous. I really enjoyed this wonderfully wild and slightly chaotic book. Spring is in full swing on the farm and finding time to read has been a struggle! One of my favorite things to do when I’m short on reading time and can’t seem to pick out a book from either my own stash or upcoming arcs, is to hit Kindle Unlimited and find the most bonkers cover and dive right in.

It is neither a house nor is it in Slough, but as the joke about the etymology of the name goes, a discussion and gossip between spies that runs So I thought Why not? and stepped into the world of espionage and the eponymous Slow Horses, first in the series.Īnd what, you may ask, is a slow horse? A slow horse is a member of MI5 working from Slough House – an outpost of “Five” for the outcasts and the failures and the mistakes. But at the same time I am also mired in a morass of marking and teacher assessed grading and work generally and I had been searching around for something more plot-driven to read recently.Īnd at the same time, Slough House was released which raised much excitement amongst some reading friends who looked to me incredulously with that “Have you never read…?” expression on their faces and in their messages. Amongst the wealth of literary fiction and fiction nominated for prizes – specifically the Carnegie Medal and Women’s Prize at this time of year – I am often in the midst of worthy or issue-led or meditative novels, all of which I love.

Yet finding love may prove to be the most dangerous act of all. Amara knows her existence in Pompeii is subject to Venus, the goddess of love. To be truly free, she will need to be as ruthless as he is. She longs for her sisterhood of friends-the women at the brothel she was forced to leave behind-and worse, finds herself pursued by the cruel and vindictive man who once owned her. At night in the home her patron bought for her, the house with the golden door, Amara’s dreams are haunted by her past. The life of a courtesan in Pompeii is glamorous yet perilous. Her survival depends on the affections of a man she might not know as well as she once thought. From prize-winning and international bestselling author Elodie Harper, the second book in the Wolf Den Trilogy follows Amara as she escapes her life as a slave in the city’s most notorious brothel, the Wolf Den. These whole books are a harmony of magic & action, myths & reality, fighting & superheroes & now whole review of one of my favourite series: (magic, parallel universes, Myths) & also they involved many awesome characters. My top fav series has another features too: they are about the subjects I actually love to know about in science. So it made very easy to believe they can be real, somewhere, somehow, in a corner of this world magic exists (Harry Potter), you can travel to parallel universes (Pendragon) or mythology lives among us. (so they know that world with me & I can relate with their surprise, feelings, fears, etc) & even heroes have been shocked when they actually entered their fantasy world. I live in that world & I feel happy.Īlso familiar sense in other way like I know places & cities (I mean in almost all high fantasy stories I'm just confused with the strange names & wondering where they were.) magic revealed! or myths, travel between universes. When fantasy elements bind in reality we know a boring world of reality & then. Generally I love the fantasy which happening in our world, low fantasy. I warned everywhere I could, because I'm nervous you might read in wrong order & you won't enjoy as much as you should. (or read in this order: Camp Half-Blood Chronicles) At last, Trials of Apollo & Magnus Chase is happening at the same time they have crossovers sometimes. They handcuffed me and put me into the squad car. When I asked what for, they wouldn't say. They said they were detectives and had a warrant for my arrest. One asked, "Are you Anthony Ray Hinton?" I said I was. After a few minutes, I looked up and there were two white gentlemen standing there. RAY HINTON: I was cutting the grass in the back of the house where I lived with my mother, in Burnwell, Alabama. Take us back to your arrest, when you were 29. You spent almost three decades in prison for crimes you were not guilty of. OPRAH: Ray, I've been listening to people's stories for a long time, but yours is about the most incredible. As Stevenson-who personally took up Hinton's case 12 years into his sentence and finally got him released from prison after he'd served 28 years for two murders he didn't commit-puts it, the tale is "a textbook example of injustice." I was honored, a few weeks after I finished reading, to sit down with Ray and find out more about what he went through and how, remarkably, he kept the faith. And for the next two days I was glued to Ray Hinton's soul-searing memoir. I was in Alabama interviewing social-justice warrior Bryan Stevenson and noticed a book on his desk. Seuss saw his original text about feelings and moods as part of the first book ever to be based on beautiful illustrations and sensational color. Seuss wrote in 1973, was a letter outlining his hopes of finding a great color artist who will not be dominated by me. Book Synopsis Accompanying a manuscript Dr. Seuss that he didnt illustrate, My Many Colored Days depicts large-scale paintings by Johnson and Fancher which seem to burst off the page, appealing to both the innocent young reader and the most sophisticated senior. Seuss presents a completely new and different kind of book about feelings and moods. About the Book Using a spectrum of colors and a menagerie of animals, Dr. |
