The plot was wavy slightly but it still worked. This book had the same beautifully written prose that kept me enticed the whole way through. For such a Paranormal book, it's not heavy, or gothic, or even a big read for that matter, and i've always found this a really nice series to read when i'm just in the mood for something less heavy. I absolutely love Carrie Jones's writing. The action is intense and epic and it's romantic in flurries of snow. It sort of left you waiting for something to happen, which it doesn't untill about halfway through the book, though when the stuff does happen it's brilliant. ![]() This book, I really did enjoy it, but i felt it kind of lacked. ![]() Surprisingly Betty doesn't care that Zara is a Pixie and it's all go to find Nick! This book literally is just and action packed bridge between Captivate and the fourth and final book on the saga, that mainly zones in on the growing chemistry between Zara and Astley. In this third book it literally picks up from the last book and it's all about getting to Valaha. This is the third book in the amazing series, and I suppose I really did like it except for a small issue I had. It was just by fluke I picked up 'Need' because it had a pretty cover but I'm glad I did. ![]() Entice is one of those books, that as soon as you read it, strikes you as amazing. ![]() ![]() Nick and Ryan are both thrown into the freezing river and find themselves under a ceiling of solid ice. ![]() He invites Nick to come along and help him find the caribou.īarely down the river, disaster strikes.

Sophia is fascinated by his brooding magnetism, and Gabriel, lured by her fiery beauty and healed by her touch, is drawn back inexorably toward the world of the living. Heir to a great fortune, and a master swordsman, Gabriel has given up his worldly possessions and laid down his arms. Her passionate, sophisticated love stories are published in ten languages and have won numerous awards. She is all he has ever wanted and everything he cannot have. Noted for her complex, subtly shaded characters, richly sensual love scenes, and elegantly fluid prose (Booklist), Gaelen Foley is the national bestselling author of nine critically acclaimed historical romances from Ballantine Books.

Princess Sophia was only a child when Napoleon conquered the island paradise ruled by her father. ![]() ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the prose here was a bit irksome – surprising, as I’ve read a couple of Geissinger novels before, and found them bearable. ❌ I can forgive a LOT if I’m placated with decent writing. She starts receiving letters from someone signing themselves ‘Dante Alighieri’ (aka author of the Divine Comedy) and then encounters a roofer named Aidan Leighrite. (Look closely here…)Īt the same time, weird things start happening to her, she’s losing track of the past, and just generally her life is collapsing around her. The book opens with Kayla Reece attending the funeral of her dead husband, Michael, who’s recently left her a widow. When I found out why, it was already too late.Īnd nothing on earth could have prepared me for what happened next.īecause I’m sorry, there are only TWO BOOKS in all existence where I’ll accept both protagonists dying as a HEA, and this is NOT one of them. We went back and forth, exchanging letters every week that grew increasingly more intimate. ![]() I said we’d never met, but he said I was wrong. I told the mystery man he had the wrong girl. Out of simple curiosity, I wrote back to ask him what exactly he was waiting for. It was signed by Dante, a man I didn’t know. It was postmarked from the state penitentiary, and contained a single sentence: The first letter arrived the day my husband was buried. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() His '95 articles for comfort, security and survival' embrace actions needed to reduce carbon emissions and protect the Earth's natural ecosystems, measures required to establish sustainable farming methods and conserve agricultural biodiversity, and wider economic reforms needed to create a proper economic context for environmental sustainability and to make quality of life - rather than growth in GDP - the target outcome of economic activity. Writing with missionary zeal, Tony Juniper plays the role of a modern-day Martin Luther and presents his programme for staving off environmental, economic and social disaster. "How Many Lightbulbs Does it Take to Change the Planet" is a clarion call for urgent action in the face of climate change that threatens to devastate human civilisation. The latest science confirms that there is now only a decade left for action. If we do not drastically reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and start that process now, then it is projected that by 2050 the cost of climate damage will exceed global GDP. The human world sits on the brink of potentially catastrophic environmental change. ![]() ![]() In this talk I will analyze how the autofictional novel Huaco retrato (2021) by Peruvian author Gabriela Wiener reveals the darker side of Western modernity –of which the museum is a key institution– by paying attention to ‘stolen memories’ (Mignolo) and silenced voices, and by re-signifying forgotten or looted artefacts as bearers of affective memories that are closely tied to the narrator’s complex descent and her gender and ethnic identity. ![]() Both ethnographic and art museums are often seen as expressions of imperial power which (re)produce the ‘white gaze’ in the sense that they not only conserve historical artefacts, but have also erased other worlds and forms of thinking or sensing.
