5/28/2023 0 Comments Beautifully broken by portia mooreNow, here, there is another mind game going on, with series of even more shocking revelations, each making your previous belief an invalid one. In that book again, the writer played with us for a long while, making us believe in our assumptions, which were all far from the truth. Also, I read Black Lies by Alessandra Torre. The writer played with the reader like a puppet in that series. I once read “Love Me with Lies” by Tarryn Fisher and each book in the series made me believe something else. The book made me say, “OMG”, “No wayyyy!!!”, “What, come again?!!” “Whoops, what? Say that again!!” and it shocked me so many times. It answers all my questions, it blows my mind away and it brings the best HEA for me. This is the 4th book in the series and it is by far my favorite one. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Cold storage david koeppOver one harrowing night, the unlikely trio must figure out how to quarantine this horror again.

Please enter the Secret Watchers universe if you dare but beware - you may be sucked right into the good versus evil suspense of jaw-clenching action and never want to leave. You are invited to follow Owen as he journeys through the darkest walk he has ever taken where he captures images of the underbelly of society, a place he never knew existed and didn't want to see. He isn't perfect, he doesn't always do things right, but he has the greater good at heart - always. Owen is that kind of guy as he searches for purpose, acceptance and morality. Everyone needs a hero and sometimes the best ones are the unintentional ones. Now it's a race to see if Owen can master his special ability before the dark watchers destroy him or turn him to the side of evil and chaos. Homework and chores are bad enough when you're in eighth grade but now this? He already hated school and now he must stand up to school bullies and even bigger ones out in the world beyond the school's doors. Owen is given glimpses of horrible things that have happened and is driven to fix them but it's a dangerous life and he's been told he has to keep it a secret. Welcome to the world of Owen Ryer and The Secret Watchers. Now War and Peace this ain’t, but it’s not supposed to be. I do understand that people were disappointed at what this book wasn’t, but I think at this juncture, it’s much more fun to read than it might have been during the show. It was nostalgic in a way, allowing me to once again get lost in Battlestar with all its many and varied story-lines and mythos only just beginning to emerge. I think enough time has now passed that I really appreciated that aspect of the book when I read this. When you look at some of the complaints, you realize they perhaps read the book too close to the ending of the series - or even while it was on the air in some places. While it is true that nothing new is proffered here by Carver - no new insights or background to beloved characters is even remotely given - that’s why I liked it. One of the complaints, of course, is that it is exactly that - a retelling of the show’s fabulous beginning. To me, the book is well written and exciting, Carver doing an excellent job of giving fans of the show a chance to revisit it in a different medium. Even the opening of the show, with a theme sung in a dead language, suggested how great this one was going to be. Everyone has seen the show or at least knows the basic premise, so I won’t rehash it here. One of the most fabulous efforts at Science Fiction ever to hit the airwaves, this show helped breathe life back into the genre after a much too long absence. 5/28/2023 0 Comments Oitnb my year in a women's prison"I am heartbroken that this is affecting my family-especially my four young daughters, who mean more to me than anything in the world," said the mom of Gia, 13, Gabriella, 9, Milania, 8, and Audriana, 4.
