![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. There's no other job I would rather be doing. I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. I've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). Bo will do anything to get her back-even if it means striking a devil's bargain and giving up his mind to the enemy. īut when Kaia is taken by those who mean her deadly harm, all bets are off. And she carries a devastating secret Bo could never imagine. She's suffered too much loss in her life to fall prey to the dangerous charm of a human who is a dead man walking. Kaia Luna may have traded in science for being a chef, but she won't hide the facts of Bo's condition from him or herself. Instead, he's at the bottom of the ocean, consumed with an enigmatic changeling. With no time to waste, he should be back on land helping the Human Alliance. But there's a ticking time bomb in his head: a chip implanted to block telepathic interference that could fail at any moment-taking his brain along with it. Security specialist Bowen Knight has come back from the dead. NYT bestselling author Nalini Singh dives beneath the surface of her Psy-Changeling world into a story of passionate devotion and selfless love. ![]()

![]() ![]() There were parts of this story I really enjoyed. ![]() The only living being they found in the entire house was a baby girl named Serenity. See, 25 years before the book begins, police were called to the scene of a murder-suicide to find the extravagant house had been stripped down and there was evidence of cult-like behavior. What unfolds is a story told from multiple points of view, from a rotating cast of narrators that includes Libby, a homeless single mother of two named Lucy, and a man named Henry. On her 25th birthday, Libby Jones comes home to her modest apartment and finds a letter that not only tells her who her birth parents really were, but also that she’s inherited a house in an affluent section of London, and is the sole living heir. ![]() As I’ve mentioned in previous TBR posts, The Family Upstairs by Lisa Jewell was mostly on my radar because my mom accidentally purchased herself two copies, so she gave one of them to me. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() SANTA READS ROMANCE (perfect for the upcoming holidays!)

In depicting it, Katsu portrays the workaday realities of the spy game at the CIA with singular skill: its organization, its operational practices, and, most tellingly, its internecine jealousies, petty personal rivalries, and dog-eat-dog grudges.īeyond these revealing jaunts into intra-agency culture, Red Widow abounds in vivid action scenes and riveting cloak-and-dagger moments. Katsu’s protagonist, intent on unmasking a traitorous double agent suspected of outing at least two CIA operatives planted in the Russian government, doggedly tracks the mole through the CIA’s tangled documentary jungle: its data bases, knowledge-sharing apps, and classified memos and reports. Red Widow is a driving, step-by-step procedural bristling with suspenseful authenticity. Katsu succeeds brilliantly here in capturing the ambience of espionage in action. The author has reason to know the realm of spies and tradecraft well: She spent 35 years as a senior intelligence analyst at the CIA and NSA, among other organizations. ![]() In Red Widow, Alma Katsu, an accomplished spinner of creepy supernatural thrillers, sets aside the spectral torments of her earlier novels to give us a vivid spy story with a twist. ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s also Smith, Shara’s longtime quarterback sweetheart, and Rory, Shara’s bad boy neighbor with a crush.

Critics promptly saw they''d been kidding themselves all along, and they turned on her. ![]() Consequently, she barely ever saw a bad review - until she made the mistake of writing her first book. She used to give interviews saying what an old-fashioned girl she really was at heart, how all she''d really like to do was find a nice writer and settle down. Creative people who don''t write sometimes enjoy a honeymoon with the press - right up until they put pen to paper. ![]() ![]() ![]() Trump himself has fanned those accusations, though he has recently shifted his complaints somewhat from specific disputes about voting procedures in swing states. “That election was thrown, it was stolen, and we should not rest easy,” he said on Talk Radio WRNR in the state’s Eastern Panhandle.Īsserting that the 2020 presidential race was stolen has been a staple for some Republicans.

If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.īut when the Eastwood sisters–James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna–join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women’s movement into the witch’s movement. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. In 1893, there’s no such thing as witches. I personally want to add that I found the pregnancy, childbirth and threat to babies a very prominent and intense theme in the book. All opinions my own.Ĭontent warnings: (from the author) child abuse, both physical and psychological parental death arrest and imprisonment mind control pregnancy and childbirth, including forced hospitalization abortion racism sexism homophobia, both external and internalized threat of sexual assault, averted torture (mostly off-the-page, but alluded to) execution (attempted) child abandonment major character death.
