When Dan and I walked inside, I had to double-check and see if we were somehow trespassing into the queen’s holiday mansion and if I should tell her majesty that I saw the drunk captain of the rugby team piss in her pool. AKA the mother of all freaking parties in Royal Elite. However, the sneaky wanker chose the party. Since Dan is part of the football team, I expected him to take me to their usual thing - not that I know what that is, but I had an idea it’d be in some posh house in London. He’s into drama and all that jazz.īut I promised him I’d attend one party before the summer starts. Spoiler alert, don’t believe anything Dan says. Now, I’m not that much of a fun-ruiner, although my best friend Dan would say otherwise. Not to be dramatic, although I probably am, this place is like my worst nightmare wrapped in super-expensive watered down alcohol. You may be noble, but stay away from King.Īlcohol, drunk teenagers, and thumping music.

Barbara Nickless is the Wall Street Journal and #1 Amazon Charts bestselling author of the Sydney Parnell police procedural series featuring a railway cop and her K9 partner. Given his closeness to the victim, as well as his prior threats on occasions where his sister turned up battered, Fox is barred from involvement in the investigation. Soon thereafter, a second mystery is introduced when Fox’s brother in law turns up dead. He is asked to look into a rising star police officer, Jamie Breck, who is suspected of buying child porn on the dark web. The mystery kicks off when Fox is approached by another pariah department that investigates sex crimes. His personal life, not unlike Rebus’, is solitary and a bit lonely- he is single, his father is in a care home and his sister is unhappily shacked up with an abusive partner. The nature of his work makes Fox an outsider in the police department he is not completely trusted by other officers. Fox is a police officer who investigates complaints made against other police officers, giving his department its name, Complaints and Conduct (hence the name of the book). The Complaints is the start of a new series featuring no Rebus and instead a new protagonist, Malcolm Fox. While I still have a few Rebus novels to catch up on (they’re a little bleak, so not a diet for all seasons), I was excited to read a non-Rebus Rankin novel. I still remember how keen I was on my first visit to Edinburgh to visit the places that Rankin described. I have a real soft spot for Ian Rankin’s John Rebus series- they were the first mystery series I read where it felt like the location was a character (and a real location I could visit). Aided by Folk she meets along the way and an albino Dragon that she rescues from near death, Nell battles the fearsome forces of nature, Evil, and ignorance that are amassed against her. Against the King's wishes, Nell sets out into the unknown with her pet demidragon, Minna. Her father, King Einar, forbids it, fearing for her safety and claiming that her heart is too soft. Time is running out.Princess Arenelle, a promising young Witch, has just reached eleven, the age of Magic, and wishes to undertake the quest. There is a long tradition in Eldearth that the keeper must be a Wizard, and only boys can be Wizards, but so far, all the boys who have attempted the difficult quest to become Apprentice Keeper have failed. If a new apprentice is not found soon, Eldearth may succumb to the evil powers of the dark Lord Graieconn. But the present Imperial Wizard, Keeper of the Light that protects Eldearth, is aging and ill. A Courageous Choice In the magical world of Eldearth, Witches and Wizards live side by side with Humans, Weefolk, though elusive, are abundant, and Dragons and Unicorns still walk the land. Miss Regina Beswick was content to be a small-town girl, running a classic auto restoration shop, unaware a secret destiny awaits her. *zips lips*Įven those who normally stick to historicals (like me) will enjoy this tale of a kingdom bowing beneath the weight of a century-old agreement that drags a car-restorer and a driven career man together. Without giving away too much, I will say that Regina and Tanner allowing their relationship to spark while Regina knew Tanner's faith was tenuous gave me pause. And the way he wrestled against God for the longest time kept me reading, too. A love story running up against secrets and political intrigue? Awesome.Īs interesting as Regina is, Tanner stole my heart halfway through when a secret from his past comes to light. That woman discovering she's a long-lost princess? Excellently handled. Rest assured, the story inside had me cracking the book open to see black and white even more often than silver and blue. I mean, can't you tell? That shimmery blue is all over this blog. Then came Princess Ever After, and I changed my mind: this is the most beautiful cover I have ever seen. This great writer crafts contemporaries that this historical-romance fan loves! In paperback.) That book hooked me on Rachel Hauck. (In fact, there's a story there: when Casey shared the cover on Facebook, I pre-ordered Once Upon a Prince. When I read Once Upon a Prince, I decided that was the most beautiful cover I had ever seen. Master different types of comic book stories.Combine words and images into seamless storytelling.Crumb, this essential work covers everything from the fine points of graphic storytelling to the big picture of the medium, including how to: Filled with examples from Eisner's work as well as that of artists like Art Spiegelman and R. In a work that will prove invaluable for comic artists and filmmakers, Eisner reveals how to construct a story and the basics of crafting a visual narrative. "There isn't a comics artists alive who hasn't benefited from Will Eisner's masterful work and formidable wisdom."―Scott McCloud, author of Understanding Comics In Graphic Storytelling and Visual Narrative, Will Eisner―one of the most influential comic artists of the twentieth century―lays out the fundamentals of storytelling and their application in the comic book and graphic novel. The book starts off with horror and ends with even worse horror. After reading "Endless Nights," however, I just might jump on the Laymon happy go lucky bandwagon after all! I mean, I had heard he was the greatest thing this side of horror, but just wasn’t feeling it. I have to say I was disappointed reading "Body Rides" with Laymon. Lots of wonderful pervy scenes, lots of wonderful gory scenes and a nice fast-paced, sicko type story to get you all geared up for halloween. If you haven't read any Laymon before then you're in for a treat, and if you have then you know just what kind of treats you're going to get, so it's win-win all the way. There's a slight difference with this story though since the chapters alternate between the Jody/Andy viewpoint and one of the Krulls' viewpoints, a real sicko called Simon. We follow Jody, who's a typical Laymon protagonist, young, beautiful, sexy etc, and a young boy she's babysitting called Andy. This one is about a group of guys calling themselves the Krulls after a group of cannibal killers in a slasher novel(I wonder if that's a real novel?) that spend their time snatching young ladies and raping, torturing and killing them, and all for kicks. There's plenty of wonderful descriptions of girls body's and clinging clothes, and the usual gore is there too, in droves. If you've read any Richard Laymon at all then you know what to expect.

I spent the novel wishing Daelyn would open up, would tell her parents about what had bothered her, why she felt how she did. A discussion guide and resource list prepared by “bullycide” expert C. In this harrowing, compelling novel, Julie Anne Peters shines a light on what might make a teenager want to kill herself, as well as how she might start to bring herself back from the edge. And it’s too late for Daelyn to be letting people into her life. No matter how poorly she treats him, he just won’t leave her alone.
