When Stephen's father dies, Stephen is truly alone with her confusion, becoming involved in a love affair that will make her mother aware of what she is, causing an irreparable rift in their relationship.

Read the review, check out the website and buy the book. OMG I loved this book!!! Rest of my review can be found here. Trouble is Wrath has little use for humans, unless it involves sex or killing them. Wrath is the only purebred vampire left and since many humans don’t survive the transition, it is Darius’s hope Wrath’s blood will help her survive. He wants Wrath, the king of the vamps who doesn’t want to be king, to help his half-human daughter with her transition. I decided to read a few pages – the next thing I knew, I was on page 60, they were calling me over the intercom to tell me my car was ready, and I was seriously thinking of sitting in the parking lot and reading more.ĭarius, a member of the Black Dagger Brotherhood (warrior vampires created to protect “regular” vampires from the Lessening Society), is on a mission. Last week while waiting for an oil change, I found the book in my hand again. The book didn’t sound bad, but with other books featuring similar elements gathering dust on my shelf, I didn’t know if I’d find time to read it. Dark Lover is an excellent horror fiction novel that is the first title of The Black Dagger Brotherhood Series. It was one more vampire book, one more series, one more niftily-named secret group…and the hero’s name was Wrath. The first time I picked up this book, I put it down after reading the back.

This starts a series of events that I could never have predicted before I picked up the book. Suddenly, this drop dead gorgeous would-be stripper, Lucas, approaches her and wants to buy her a drink. The opening scene has Hades drowning her embarrassment and sorrows at her club 7th Circle after she made a move on Cass (readers of the Madison Kate series are probably squeeing with excitement right now) and being shut down hard (and now those same readers are probably booing). I mean not that I’m a crime lord- not by day anyway… But like I said it worked really well. It’s actually genius making Hades a woman, I loved it, as a matter of fact I identified with her so hard. Hades is a woman- gasp! I know, I know but if you think about it if the infamous Hades had been a man there was no way that he would be sharing a chick with anyone. But I digress, so like everyone else that has been following Tate James I couldn’t wait to read 7th Circle and find out the identity of Hades- we didn’t even know whether Hades was a man or a woman! So I waffled back and forth on this review and how much to reveal because I absolutely don’t want to ruin the reading experience so I will reveal some mild details but you won’t find any major spoilers here- stop crying, when you’re done reading this you can head right over to Amazon and start reading the book. Over the years, this image has arguably circulated more than any other depiction of the violence-undeniable proof of the cruelty of those days. A famous picture by photojournalist Chandragupta Amarasinghe shows a naked Tamil man cowering on a bench while several laughing young Sinhalese men swing their feet in his direction. Although ethnic tensions preceded this event, known as Black July, by decades, it is often considered the beginning of the Sri Lankan civil war.īlack July lives on through communal memory, of course, but also in photographs. What happened in Colombo echoed all over the country, and many Tamils fled, some leaving Sri Lanka forever. The death toll is estimated to have been in the thousands, although no official number was ever announced. The violence raged for days before then-President J.R. Tamils were murdered or displaced, Tamil houses and offices burned. The night after the ambush, mobs from the country’s Sinhalese majority targeted and attacked Tamils-members of the country’s largest ethnic minority group-in Colombo. The violence followed the deaths of 13 Sinhalese Sri Lankan Army soldiers at the hands of Tamil militants in the city of Jaffna. In July 1983, Sri Lanka’s capital of Colombo erupted in anti-Tamil pogroms effectively sanctioned by the state. And given the recent box-office success of ‘Hidden Figures,’ we know there’s a hunger for smart movies about smart women.”Ĭartsonis produced “What Women Want.” Farwell produced “The Intern” and Emery produced “The Stanford Prison Experiment.” Now they will get their moment in the movies. “I’ve always said I wrote the book to make fossils sexy. “I’m thrilled that ‘Remarkable Creatures’ is coming to the big screen,” said Chevalier. Chevalier also wrote “Girl With a Pearl Earring,” which was adapted as a 2003 film starring Scarlett Johansson and Colin Firth. “Remarkable Creatures” was published in 2009 and became a New York Times bestseller. “Female scientists have been left out of the history books and Tracy Chevalier has brought these two remarkable women back to life in her wonderful book.” “The themes that the book explores of gender, class, female friendship and scientific discovery could not be more timely,” said Farwell. Additionally, her differentiation between male and female characters was well developed, and she did a great job with the steamy parts! This is a good book for anyone who is looking for a light, predictable romantic read. Her voice hit just the right intonation to drive Elle's personality traits home. She played the part of the perfect, albeit somewhat whiny and needy heroine, to a T. Kensington's performance as narrator was relatively good.

No real love triangle or other unpredictable obstacles to overcome. However, there really wasn't much more to the storyline than that. The premise has promise (Elle wishing to seduce Gabe's brother goes to what she thinks is his bed in the middle of the night but ends up with Gabe instead). Bad boy (Gabe Schultz), a nightclub & tattoo shop owner, falls for good girl (Elle Walser), an art gallery coordinator who works for Gabe's brother. Wrong Bed, Right Guy is your basic, light romantic book. A routine performance of Much Ado About Nothing is in progress when an unprecedented event occurs. The story begins on the planet known as 25-25-261B, a regular stop on the players’ interstellar tour. Against this backdrop, Simmons introduces the Earth’s Men, a wandering troupe of players dedicated to presenting the works of Shakespeare to every accessible corner of the settled universe. The scattered human remnants occupy the lowest rung of a Gnostic hierarchy that dominates both their secular and spiritual lives. Earth, drained of its oceans and populated largely by the dead, is little more than a distant memory. Muse of Fire takes place in a remote future age in which the human enterprise has all but ground to a halt.
