![]() Within twenty-four hours Clary is pulled into Jace's world with a vengeance, when her mother disappears and Clary herself is attacked by a demon. It's also her first encounter with Jace, a Shadowhunter who looks a little like an angel and acts a lot like a jerk. Or was he a boy? This is Clary's first meeting with the Shadowhunters, warriors dedicated to ridding the earth of demons. It's hard to call the police when the murderers are invisible to everyone else and when there is nothing - not even a smear of blood - to show that a boy has died. When 15-year-old Clary Fray heads out to the Pandemonium Club in New York City, she hardly expects to witness a murder - much less a murder committed by three teenagers covered with strange tattoos and brandishing bizarre weapons. ![]()

![]() ![]() If you haven’t read it, I recommend reading my first review found here: Kanin Chronicles There are just a few things that now that I understand the established world… I can actually point out. Now that I’ve listened to it, I’ve come to realize just how… much worse the Kanin Chronicles actually are. It was past the point of believably.īut I’m not here to talk about the Trylle Trilogy. ![]() It’s all in an effort to keep information from the audience. She leans SO HARD into the “keeping secrets from the main character” to an almost comical degree. To be fair it was written in 2013, where most books did, so some of that can be forgiven. The Trylle Trilogy, mostly the first book, suffers from many of the typical YA tropes. I could neither recommend it nor tell people to shy away from it. ![]() It was her second series she ever wrote, and at moments it shows. I listened to the first trilogy by Amanda Hocking, known as the Trylle Trilogy. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thus the reader does not know why the difficulties in the marriage occurred, and that was a mystery to me. It was frustrating for me that neither Claire nor her husband made contact for several weeks after the baby's birth. Claire goes through despair and then anger at her husband and her predicament. It does cover topics that I normally would not be interested in. Claire describes her ups and downs, her settling in with her parents and sisters and her child, and the new people she meets. I don't exactly know how to describe this book. A very good decision, I think, a place where she will have support. Her reaction is to leave London, where she works and lives with her husband, and go to Dublin and stay with her parents for a few months. Obviously, such an announcement right after the birth of a baby would be upending. As he was present at the birth, I can only assume the two events weren't entirely unrelated.Ĭlaire had no clue that her husband was unhappy with the marriage and was having an affair with a woman that they both know. It is the day I gave birth to my first child. ![]() ![]() The main character is Claire and the book starts out thus:įebruary fifteenth is a very special day for me. ![]() ![]() "You shouldn't have done that because of me,You wanted her that's why you brought her home. She wasn't happy about it but I didn't care." He smirked,finding my comment amusing."I told her to leave and then I came straight here. I walked towards the door and stood at it arms folded."Where is the Blonde.Is she waiting by the elevator while you have a quick chat?" Jamie knowing this, all the while totally falling for Mason thinking she could be the woman to change his Bad Boy ways!! ![]() He was the type of man to use woman and discard of them, he had a bad reputation for doing so. Mason Knight was the type of man who is driven by Success and Power and not his emotions. Jamie Harris had no intention of being one of those women who falls for her boss.But when Mason Knight sets his sights on her she finds herself unable to resist his Bad Boy Charm. ![]() NOTE: THE FULL BOOK IS AVAILABLE TO READ ON GALATEA, NOVELCAT AND GOODNOVEL FOR PAY TO READ ONLY. ![]() ![]() ![]() When Ryan is accused of racism, for example, the reader is apparently meant to be horrified that anybody would suggest such a thing. The novel is well-paced and sometimes engaging, but Maguire’s depiction of women feels forced, as does his treatment of race relations. Later, as a solitary cop, Ryan becomes embroiled in a police-brutality scandal while trying to investigate the proliferation of drugs in his community. As a teenager, Ryan falls in with an older boy and starts dealing drugs-a habit he has difficulty breaking, despite the protests of his straitlaced girlfriend, Denise. These sections compellingly depict young Ryan’s troubles, as he never has enough food, or even enough money to do a load of laundry however, the child’s dialogue sometimes comes off as unrealistic. ![]() Ryan’s parents were equally neglectful both were alcoholics, and his father made a habit of taking Ryan to bars as a child before he ultimately abandoned his family. The author leads readers through a series of flashbacks, painting a portrait of a broken man, psychologically damaged by his unhappy childhood. Ryan O’Reilly cuts a familiar figure in the mystery genre: He’s a smart, dirty (but not too dirty) middle-aged cop, incapable of sustaining relationships with women or with his aging father. ![]() In this debut novel, a cop must face his painful past and solve a pressing, present-day mystery. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But there I was sitting across from Philip, who has great energy, a peaceful demeanor and a good career. Philip tells his story with candor, sharing details in a way that you can picture him growing up in his striking environment throughout the book, which is fascinating, humorous, and made me think it couldn’t be true. He found his own ways to cope with his embarrassment so he could recognize and appreciate the gift he’d been given–being the son to this unique mans. To many people he’d seem at best odd, but Philip rolled with his father’s unusual actions and habits. ![]() He got messages and followed the path he was led down. It certainly wasn’t the average childhood! Lew Smith had a gift for healing people that probably few people have. From an early age he was drinking and partying. Philip grew up in the midst of his father’s growing into a great healer who helped thousands of people. ![]() ![]() ![]() and Only had a couple items break in the 12 years we have sold on the internet.

Karou has long wondered who she really is and why she feels she was meant for another life.

I got this as an audiobook from .Īudiobook Quality (5/5): I really enjoy listening to this series on audiobook. ![]() Series Info/Source: This is the second book in the Arc of a Scythe series. ![]() Or will it simply watch as this perfect world begins to unravel?” Old foes and new enemies converge, and as corruption within the Scythedom spreads, Rowan and Citra begin to lose hope. His story is told in whispers across the continent.Īs Scythe Anastasia, Citra gleans with compassion and openly challenges the ideals of the “new order.” But when her life is threatened and her methods questioned, it becomes clear that not everyone is open to the change.

A year has passed since Rowan had gone off grid. “The Thunderhead is the perfect ruler of a perfect world, but it has no control over the scythedom. Stand Alone or Series: 2nd book in the Arc of a Scythe series ![]() ![]() When Vicky shoots her drug-using husband, it appears a simple case of self-defense. Vicky's a battered woman with a record, while Angel, who reminds Rios of himself as a child, already bears signs of a hard childhood. And Elena's daughter, Vicky Trujillo, and her boy, Angel, come with serious baggage. The smoothly integrated plot strands conspire to test and push Rios into reassessing everything, from the new love and the commitment it both promises and demands, to the news that his estranged sister, Elena, had had a daughter, now grown and with a son of her own. The challenges L.A.-based Rios confronts are as complex and involved as the man himself: a heart attack, a possible appointment to a judgeship, the discovery of an unknown niece and grandnephew, a new love and the most personally daunting defense case of his career. His fans may also be perplexed by the lack of explanation for halting the series. Pleasure because Nava is in top form sadness because of his announcement that this is the last Rios novel. ![]() This seventh Henry Rios mystery should bring both pleasure and sadness to admirers of the gay Mexican-American defense lawyer. ![]() |
