Ilona andrews blood heir6/29/2023 It was a man’s face now, with harsh edges and defined angles, and eyes that radiated authority and power. The beauty was still there, in the bottomless eyes under the sweep of dark eyebrows and in the perfect lines, but his face had gained strength. He stared at me, and I had no choice but to stare back.Īscanio had been beautiful as a teenager, almost androgynous. Time stretched, slow and viscous like molasses. Sometimes when I looked in the mirror now, I didn’t know me. My heartbeat sounded too loud in my ears, but it was slow and steady. You’ve never seen me before.Īscanio inhaled deeper. He was downwind from me, and the night breeze had brought him my scent. We’d met when I was fourteen and he was fifteen, and we’d spent a lot of time together. I made a conscious effort to not hold my breath. Apparently, he’d gotten what he wished for and all the headaches that went with it.Īscanio turned back to me and looked me over, slowly. He’d wanted that spot more than anything. When I left, Andrea and her husband Raphael, the alphas of Clan Bouda, were grooming Ascanio for the beta spot, which would’ve made him second in the chain of the clan’s command. So, stopping me was an unsanctioned bit of fun. “Please, tell me more.”Īscanio glanced at the boudas by the bridge. “Now, that’s an interesting development,” Ascanio Ferara said. Next year in havana book series6/29/2023 Elisa’s family is wealthy (having built an empire on sugar), they have close ties to Batista, and there’s no way they would ever let her marry Pablo – who is working class and whose politics conflict with their own. But Pablo is a revolutionary fighting to overthrow Cuba’s dictator Fulgenico Batista and replace him with Fidel Castro. In the late 1950s, Elisa Perez is 19 and falling in love for the first time. Next Year in Havana follows two timelines separated by nearly 60 years. That this month (from September 15 through October 15) is Latinx heritage month also helped encourage my decision. She’s released two more books in this series since then, and has already announced another due next spring, and I knew it was time to finally settle in and give this novel my attention. A couple of years ago, I picked up Next Year in Havana by Chanel Cleeton.

Bombs away by harry turtledove6/29/2023 I suspect I was subconsciously aware of the Turtledove Formulaic Doctrine (TFD) during the last four books of the southern victory series, but as I read certain characters, situations and even dialect, in Bombs Away, it hit me.įormula aside, Bombs Away is another war story in classic the Turtledove fashion. I suppose I’ve not seen it because of excellent non-war series like Supervolcano and the Krispos series. I can’t believe it has taken me that long to discover the formula that Turtledove uses in each war story. I’ve been a Turtledove fan for more than thirty years. And the miscalculation turns into a disaster when Truman fails to foresee Russia’s reaction. In actual history, Truman rejected his general’s advice. MacArthur advocates a strike on Chinese targets in Manchuria. The only way to stop the Communist surge into the Korean Peninsula and save thousands of American lives is through a nuclear attack. military has been cut to the bone after victory over the Nazis-while China and the U.S.S.R. Bombs Away begins with President Harry Truman heeding the advice of General Douglas MacArthur, whose control of the ground war in Korea has slipped disastrously away. Truth of the Divine by Lindsay Ellis6/29/2023 Despite this, Ampersand is still keen on keeping secrets, even from Cora, which backfires on them both when investigative journalist Kaveh Mazandarani, a close colleague of Cora’s unscrupulous estranged father, witnesses far more of Ampersand’s machinations than anyone was meant to see.

Ocd love story by corey ann haydu6/29/2023 So I sit next to the guy gasping for air I find his ear and whisper into it. And this is something I know everything about: I’ve just been lucky enough to come up with ways to stop my panic attacks before they happen. The short gasps turn into longer, more strained inhales, and the poor guy having the attack is choking on his own breath. It’s coming from somewhere just to my left, so I use that as a kind of lighthouse to find my way out of the thick of the crowd. It’s the strained, superfast pace of a panic attack. Then I hear a familiar noise, a rhythm I know well. And for a moment the sounds of classmates cackling and tumbling over each other and screaming in fake fear take over. ’Cause the second the lights and music cut out I realize how disgusting the smell in the gym is. Maybe it’s true what they say about being blind: Your other senses get stronger. There is a hit of silence, like a preparatory inhale, and then chaos. Electricity must be out all over the town. I go to dances at Smith-Latin Boys’ Academy two, maybe three times a year, but nothing like this has ever happened before. So when the power goes out, I don’t do much of anything except try to avoid the horny high school guys trying to feel up girls in the dark. LUCKY FOR ME, I DON’T get panicky in small dark spaces or anything. |
