![]() ![]() ![]() The characters were barely even likeable. Instead I'll broadly state: The drive behind every character was unrealistic. ![]() And I'm not talking about the ghosts! I'm not going to do well giving examples without spoilers, so Im not going to try. This story had great building blocks: Haunted motel, unsolved mystery, unresolved family history, female sleuths who confront the supernatural whilst solving these hitherto unknowns! I see the term "fell flat" a lot in reviews. So perhaps there's a difference in target audience with this one(?), as well as a difference in my expectation as a fan of Simone St. I also don't understand the rave reviews! I did notice that a lot of the popular reviewers of this book have not reviewed any of this author's other works. James' other books with my utter disappointment in this one. I'm having a hard time reconciling my adoration for Simone St. ![]() ![]() Yet Flora has talents that are not typical of her kin.

Born into the lowest class of her society, Flora 717 is deemed fit only to clean her orchard hive. ![]() ![]() Minchin, who is a broadcaster and writer, said the books on the list were. Her deepest instincts to serve and sacrifice are now overshadowed by an even deeper desire, a fierce maternal love that will bring her into conflict with her conscience, her heart, her society - and lead her to unthinkable deeds. The list is completed by Pod by Laline Paull, who was previously shortlisted for the prize in 2015 for her novel The Bees. She also finds her way into the Queen's inner sanctum, where she discovers mysteries about the hive that are both profound and ominous.īut when Flora breaks the most sacred law of all - daring to challenge the Queen's fertility - enemies abound, from the fearsome fertility police who enforce the strict social hierarchy to the high priestesses jealously wedded to power. She is allowed to feed the newborns in the royal nursery and then to become a forager, flying alone and free to collect pollen. With circumstances threatening the hive's survival, her curiosity is regarded as a dangerous flaw but her courage and strength are an asset. Flora 717 is a sanitation worker, a member of the lowest caste in her orchard hive where work and sacrifice are the highest virtues and worship of the beloved Queen the only religion. ![]() ![]() ![]() Not only couldn’t I have done this without you, I never would have even started. ![]() Thank you for putting up with furious all-night writes, neglected dates, and lots of irrational sobbing.

How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?Īs lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave.

Yes, you read that right. Here are the reasons that I am disappointed in this book: If you’ve been browsing the reviews here like I originally did (I always check the one and two star reviews to try and decipher what triggering content is included - I find that most lower starred reviews usually hit the reason why the person didn’t like it/stopped reading more succinctly), you will see that there are quite a few reviewers that stopped at about the 17%-20% mark. I was ready to enjoy some dark, edgy, crazy train romance □□ ![]() There’s a reason that Blake constantly gains new readers, and her Hero of that original trilogy, Richard, is that reason.Īs soon as I saw that the Hero here, Roman, is Richard’s brother, I immediately high-tailed it over to Kindle and downloaded this one. The Hero in that trilogy is truly warped, and he makes that story. That series is edgy, hot, and intriguingly dark. I personally thought that the original Dark Obsession Trilogy (note that the title is a revamp, and that these original books were previously published under different names) was stellar dark romance. ![]() ![]() Lots of fellow reviewers have been busy reviewing this over the past few days, and I was immediately intrigued with the discovery that this new Duet (this book is Part I) features Richard’s brother from Blake’s popular dark romance, the recently retitled Dark Obsession Trilogy. I was thrilled to see that a new Zoe Blake was released this week. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Items in order will be sent as soon as they arrive in the warehouse. ![]() How to Train Your Dragon is now a major DreamWorks franchise starring Gerard Butler, Cate Blanchett and Jonah Hill and the TV series, Riders of Berk, can be seen on CBeebies and Cartoon Network.

Read the HILARIOUS books that inspired the HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON films! ![]() ![]() ![]() I still remember every detail of its nature fondly. I suppose my escape into my backyard did have a lot to do with who I became. That was when I started telling people I wanted to be a zoologist. As I got older, I conducted small experiments, such as setting out foods for birds and seeing which they liked best. At age ten, my first ‘novel’ was about an ant that meets other insects, good and bad, during her journeys. The fascinating variety, and often brutal interactions, of insects provided drama that distracted me from my own harsh world. ![]() I discovered how to be still and gentle with animals from teaching squirrels and baby cottontails to feed from my hand. Whole new worlds could be explored by the simple act of turning over a rock. The yard was an important escape for me when situations in my house became unbearable.

We had untamed thickets of concord grapes and raspberries, currant bushes, an old tangled apple tree, and overgrown lilacs, peonies, and irises. But my yard had more wildlife than most because my mother had planted it with fruits and flowers that grew ever wilder as her mental illness subdued her interest in gardening. I was raised in a Chicago neighbourhood where ‘nature’ was small yards with mowed lawns, a few trees, and trimmed shrubs. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rowena completes the deed she is forced to do but the man they held captive is Warrick deChaville who will eventually exact his revenge on Rowena and her step-brother.I couldn't put this book down. ![]() They find a man at a local inn who resembles the coloring but are unaware that he is their enemy (seeing as how they gag him so he couldn't speak). He decides that he will have Rowena "rape" this man in order to produce an heir that they can claim is the old (dead) man's heir and therefore still inherit his estates. The step-brother decides to hide this fact from everyone and found someone who is similar in coloring to the old man. ![]() Unfortunately for the step-brother (and Rowena), the old man who she is to marry dies right before coming to his bed on his wedding night. She would refuse to marry this ancient relic except for the fact that her step-brother is holding her mother hostage and has beaten her in order to get what he wants from Rowena. Pretty steamy read right from the start.Rowena is a lady who is forced into a marriage to better the army and monies of her stepbrother. ![]() |
