Gunmetal Magic is enough of a stand alone story that it could be read without reading the five Kate Daniels books first, but I’d recommend readers new to this world begin with the Kate Daniels series. While it’s not necessary to read “Magic Gifts” first, it does provide more details on what happened to Kate, and I think it would be better to read it first. “Magic Gifts” overlaps with the timeline in Gunmetal Magic, and there is a part in the novel that comes after Kate’s adventure and ties in with it. ![]() It’s about Andrea Nash, Kate’s best friend, and a novella about Kate titled “Magic Gifts” is also included with the novel. ![]() Gunmetal Magic, written by the wife and husband team known as Ilona Andrews, is an urban fantasy novel set in the same world as the Kate Daniels series. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Never Call Retreat by Bruce Catton![]() ![]() In the north Lincoln remained resolute in the belief that a house divided against itself could not stand. Through the kaleidoscope tone and temper of the struggle, two men, different in stature, but similar in dedication to their awesome tasks, grappled with the burden of being leaders both in politics and war. This is an eloquent study of the bitterest years of the war when death slashed the country with a brutality unparalleled in the history of the United States. The final volume of Bruce Catton's monumental Centennial History of the Civil War traces the war from Fredericksburg through the succeeding grim and relentless campaigns to the Courthouse at Appomattox and the death of Lincoln. ![]() Wiley, after reading the manuscript of Never Call Retreat ![]() Familiarity with subject matter resulting from many years of study and narrative talents exceeding those of any other Civil War historian enable him to move along swiftly and smoothly and produce a story that is informative, dramatic, and absorbingly interesting." -Dr. ![]() ![]() You will never know when a twist will jump out at you. Isn’t that interesting? Secondly, the author cleverly blended in some loose-ended twists, which always left the reader hanging. My mind was searching the book for answers. First, I thought this book was set in the past from all the old buildings, jobs and places but soon after there were grenades, subways and electricity. ![]() One such strength was the author’s creative way of using the setting to intrigue the reader. ![]() So watch out, there are many great moments to come. This book is set on Earth in the future, but these human-enslaving Tripods make it seem like the past for the humans. Their freedom lies in the White Mountains. We follow three teenagers, Will, Henry and Beanpole on their life-threatening journey towards their only hope of a life of freedom from the Tripods. I welcome you the White Mountains, a sci-fi book by John Christopher. These were all the unanswered thoughts racing through my head after the first chapter of this exciting book. All I know is that there is one chance, one journey and a whole lot of action on the path to freedom. Do aliens exist? Who knows? Will mankind fall? Who knows? Will all hope lie in the hands of the “Uncapped”? You never know. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments More than enough jay mclean![]() ![]() ![]() The night of prom, her entire life goes to crap. She’s got a great boyfriend that she adores and a best friend that she’s had since the fifth grade. She’s got a pretty fantastic family, a family with a great sense of humor. When we first meet Mikayla Jones, she’s a senior in high school getting ready for her senior prom. I went into this book a bit cautious because I read Tracy’s short review on Goodreads but I still gave it a shot because the book sounded like something I’d enjoy. I’m not even sure where to start with this review. As he does everything in his power to win her trust, Mikayla must choose between remaining alone and safe or letting love in. Mikayla and Jake both want more, but despite their growing closeness and intense chemistry, she tries to keep her distance and protect her heart. But Mikayla-thrust into adulthood with no one to guide her-is desperate to contain her grief and hide what she considers to be her weakness. With no one to turn to, Mikayla is forced to depend on this near stranger and his family, and he in turn is determined to take care of her. Jake, a handsome boy she just met, happens to witness her loss. Suddenly, everything she loved and everyone she relied on are tragically, irrevocably gone. So when betrayal and tragedy come in quick succession, Mikayla is completely destroyed. ![]() When Mikayla imagined her prom night, she envisioned a fairy-tale evening full of romance. Rowena’s review of More than This (More Than #1) by Jay McLean. ![]() 5/12/2023 0 Comments Rats saw god book![]() Bio from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. ![]() Readers will take heart from the way Steve grows past his rebellion as they laugh at the plethora of comic situations and sharply set up, well-executed punchlines. Robert James 'Rob' Thomas (born August 15, 1965) is an American author, producer, and screenwriter, best known as the author of the 1996 novel Rats Saw God, creator of the critically acclaimed television series Veronica Mars, and co-creator of 90210, Party Down, and iZombie. In between, Thomas fills this-and a parallel plotline in which Steve straightens himself out in the course of his final semester-with subplots and set pieces: the rise and fall of the school's Dadaist club dates, buying condoms, and fumbling through first sex the thawing of Steve's relationship with his astronaut father. Given a choice between summer school and producing a hundred typewritten pages on any subject, high school senior Steve York taps out, a few pages at a time (and in a different typeface from the rest of the narrative), an account of his triumphant, traumatic junior year, from the high of falling in love with Dub, a classmate, to the low of finding her with a teacher late one night. ![]() Driven by a rigid, controlling father and a broken heart, an overachiever tries drug-induced alienation but can't quite bring it off in this funny, high-energy debut. ![]() 5/11/2023 0 Comments Through the dark alexandra bracken![]() ![]() But for many Psi kids living rough, there is no home to return to, no place for them in a country devastated by the past and anxious about the future.
