I did not get to finish the last story in this edition, I will eventually get around to reading that story separately if I can find a copy of it on it's own. I read and liked "In the forests of the Night" years ago and find out of all of the stories to do with this world, still to be my favorite....
I had forgot I had read this, until I was looking through books on bookoutlet dot com.And I saw the cover and was like "I read this, I haven't put it in my 'read' shelf'. I barely remember it. I think they were witches? Or something. I didn't know it was book 7! I thought it seemed like it should...
Cooper Blake used to be a pretty average teenager. He played football, went to parties and did okay in school. Last summer he was in an accident and everything changed. Besides facing massive anxiety and depression, Cooper now has the almost constant company of a ghost named Samantha. Or is she m...
This has been a favorite of mine for a while. It depicts an interesting world with interesting cultures, and an engaging chaos vs. order theme that shows up in the third book. In this series, few paths are truly good or guaranteed for success - but the characters try their best anyway.The reaso...
This was good, and put some shape to the ever-mysterious Midnight. I really enjoyed the conclusion that the story took, which was the best possible as related to her theme of freedom versus captivity. Some pieces of the conclusion and things related to the Shantel guard. It took me a while to ...
It had no apparent lock but didn’t budge at a casual push. Well, then. He would deal with that later, after SingleEarth had some time to work out this snarl, and Jay had made an attempt to reason with Brina. For now, he had more important things to do. &n...
Misha demanded of Farrell, almost as soon as we had stepped outside the bounds of Malachi’s magic, which hid our camp from passersby. If we looked over our shoulders, we wouldn’t see or hear the camp, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t still hear us. I could picture Torquil restraining his mate t...
They cried of the pain they had endured at birth, and all the wasted years they had spent without the taste of freedom. Some had been born free, and had been stripped of all vestiges of will before they were forced into this small gray cage. Others had taken their first wailing breaths right here...
Alasdair knew that voice would reverberate in her dreams and nightmares forever. Shkei, bleeding, broken, begging…and her with a knife near to hand. The trainer had left them alone, because he didn’t believe she would ever do this. He had made her do the work of hurting Shkei this time. He had as...
Kadee’s fingertips were trembling, and the edges of her vision wavered. She pulled in deep breaths, bringing to mind the fleshwitch’s voice saying, “Tell me what you must do, when you feel this way.” Calm my body. Draw a breath, and let it out slowly, naturally. Recognize the tightness in my musc...
“Relax.” The reassurance came from the cobra beside me, Oliza’s only cousin, Salem Cobriana. “I’ve seen her perform this blade dance a hundred times in the nest.” He shot me an amused look as he added, “With dulled blades.” The dagger went up once more as Oliza sank to the ground, closing her eye...
For the last two years, she had worked in SingleEarth’s IT department. It didn’t matter that there wasn’t much challenge in it, because it was just a job, an excuse to keep up to date and fill the time before she moved on. This new job, working as a mediator at Haven #4, wasn’t glorious, either, ...
Once she overcame her initial hesitation, the strange food Alizarin had provided proved satisfying. The odd, spiked fruit was a deep purple, segmented inside a little like an orange, but with a flavor more akin to whiskey. She expected it to leave her parched, but the juice soothed her dry throat...
