A few weeks ago I talked about how realistic I like characters to be in the books I read, but this time I want to talk about injuries. Unrealistic injuries seems to be a big problem---nay, an epidemic---in books, at least the ones I read. And once again, I'm on the side of realism. I want characters to have realistic injuries. Give me the realistic injuries! (Well, don't give me the injuries. I'm...
Robin is back on the run, wanted by both Summer and Unwinter, and all Jeremiah wants to do is find and protect her. But Jeremiah is also on the run and has problems of his own, like the poisoned wound that's slowly killing him and the reappearance of an old friend-turned-enemy. They will both have to figure out who they can trust if they're going to escape the clutches of the Seelie and Unseelie...
Guess what! Guess what! My laptop is back and it works! Actually, this is kinda funny, it works because it actually isn't my laptop. Mine had some faded spots from where my wrists rubbed when I used the keyboard, and this one does not... I'm 99% sure my laptop was just beyond fixing and they sent me a refurbished one. It's the same make and model though, so as long as it works how it's supposed...
Just to refresh your memory, when Part 1 ended, our lovely drunk couple had just come up with the brilliant idea of eating all the ice cream before it melts and adding alcohol to it... And since I decided the rest of the story would just flow better if it stayed all together, here's Part 2, the final part, in the short...
It's been a year since they started dating, but with Brian so busy working as a vampire doctor and part-time researcher and Kyle so busy with school and a newfound social life, their relationship becomes strained. But when anti-vampire activists start putting more effort into their fight against the vampires, more than just Brian and Kyle's relationship could be in...
Last week I talked about the double standard about sexual promiscuity in books (I'll link to that post below), but this week I want to talk about characters getting emotional. If you know me, you know that emotion is my favorite thing about books. I love to FEEL things, and I do that through the characters, by feeling what they feel. So this particular topic is something I've thought about for a...
Syn has spent her whole life struggling with cystic fibrosis, until one day she's pushed into a pond and wakes up in a strange place called "the garden" where illness doesn't exist and she can live symptom-free, but the longer she stays, the more danger she finds. She wants to get home, but, when she realizes this place might have something to do with her parents' disappearance, she's determined...
This is going to be a sad commentary on my dependency on technology, but my internet and cable went down for a few hours the other night, and I had nothing to do because even the book I was reading was borrowed online, and all I could think about was how I couldn't even post a status update to tell everyone that my internet was down. And then I thought about how I was going to have to start a...
Jules, a wire walker, gets an opportunity to join a traveling circus with her family of performers, and she persuades them to take it despite the bad blood between her family and the Garcias, another family in the show. Jules just wants to follow her dreams to be like her wire walking idol, but strange, magical, dangerous things start happening, and Jules teams up Remy Garcia, the boy who's...
Luc (a vampire), Anders (an incubus), and Curtis (a wizard), shunned and bullied for being lone creatures and thus easy targets, have defied tradition by creating their own triad rather than joining others of their own kind. But not everyone in the supernatural world is happy about their bond and the strength that comes with it, and they'll have to face-off against the powerful vampire Renard if...
