![]() So overall, didnt love this as much as the first two books for various reasons, but there are still some good qualities about it. the atmosphere is definitely the shining star of this. it also continues the excel at the dark, gothic, bloody vibes that i have loved since the first book. its an apt conclusion and one that suits the characters and their storylines. based on what i started to remember from the previous books, the ending to this is really fitting. That being said, i still really like the concept/idea of the story. felt a general disconnect with the characters and story (see point one), as well as with the writing (see point two) this book is way too long with such slow pacing and nothing happening in a span of 300 pages Least favourite book in the series for the following reasons: - too long between books and didnt feel like doing a reread, so completely forgot what happened in the previous book, and there are no little recap points to jog the readers memory in this at all ![]()

![]() If you guys want to add some of your own "call to action" words that have worked for you leave it in the comment box. Here are some "call to action" word that's relevant for today. Here are some simple "call to action" words that I will be using in my ads. Although it's a 20 year old book it offered some timeless advice on selling. Anyway, I was digging through an old box of junk in my basement and I found an old book I bought back in the 90's on advertising. But if I can sell my books from the comfort of my sofa with nothing more than a laptop and some creative wording I'm going for it. I read lots of blogs from other writers who are hitting the pavement going to libraries, book clubs, neighborhood book stores, etc to sell their books and I always feel like I should be doing more. Blame it on the lack of sun from the blah Chicago winter. FB is the only marketing I'm doing at the moment, frankly because I'm lazy to do anything else. I found it funny that it was easier to write a 90,000 word novel than to come up with a 30 word ad.I'm really interested in this topic because my Facebook ad always leaves me wondering how I can improve my sales numbers by just changing a few words around. ![]() ![]() ![]() This previous sexual tension allowed for so much chemistry during the sex scenes (which were amazing, btw, 11/10). ![]() Jasmine and Jafar are established to be likable characters with an ongoing will they won’t they flirtation that laters blossoms into the main relationship. I like how this book kind of thrusts readers into the action, opening up with a sex scene and quickly setting the stage for what’s to come. I think the first book introduced us to the major players who will be getting their own stories, and I can’t wait to read more. ![]() I’m so excited to read more in this series. The idea of classic Disney characters being part of this AU, connected by a central sex club has me so intrigued. I was really intrigued by the premise of this one. I would like to personally thank Riley and Chelsea for putting this book on my radar because holy shit, this was so good. The daddy/babygirl thing isn’t really my kink, but this one was done so well that I quickly found myself rooting for this couple to be end game. TW/CW: consensual nonconsent, sexual assault (non-consensual kiss), murder, emotional abuse, death of a parent Review: Now Jafar owns me, and even as my mind rails against his rules, my body loves the punishments he deals out when I break them.īut a gilded cage is still a prison, I’ll do anything to obtain my freedom. ![]() Walk away with nothing but my freedom… Or rise to his challenge and win my fortune back. As my world burned down around me, he offered me a choice. One night, and my entire life went up in flames. ![]() ![]() ![]() Instead, I think what let me down about it was the mystery. ![]() But the writing never quite reached the levels of mehness that some books I’ve read have, so that didn’t, ultimately (and thankfully!), factor into my feelings about the book overly much. My first thought was that the writing wasn’t for me, so really, it was an inauspicious start. One, following the disappearance of a corpse from the mortuary, and a second, where Cassie suspects foul play in what seems otherwise to be a routine case. There are two mysteries at play in the book, to be honest. The plot follows Cassie Raven, said mortuary technician, and the detective who she, more often than not, clashes with. It’s just also a book that never really hooked me. CWs: descriptions of autopsies, murder, drug abuse and drug overdoses, mentions of domestic abuseīody Language is a solid first book of a series, introducing a new detective/sidekick duo (or maybe I should say mortuary technician/detective-who-is-the-sidekick duo). ![]() ![]() ![]() This year has brought with it any number of celebrations of Pride and Prejudice from plays and festivals to conferences and all sorts of fan fiction and games and “stuff” one cannot live without, but the best way to celebrate the book in my mind is to just find a quiet corner somewhere and re-read it, perhaps for the umpteenth time, but read it again nonetheless. One of Jane Austen’s greatest strengths and why we still read her year after year over the past 200 years, is her creation of believable characters who live and breathe on and off the page – and the need for our imaginations to bring whatever we will to the reading… Andrew Davies famously says he had to “sex her up” to make the films work for a modern audience, and while I like to see Colin Firth in a wet shirt and Matthew Macfadyen bare-chested at dawn as much as the next swooning female, I do take issue with the need to edit the text to the point of it seeming more like a modern romance than an early nineteenth-century novel. ![]() Much has been made of the film adaptations of Pride and Prejudice and the need to make the feelings of the hero more apparent to the viewer, the complaint being that Jane Austen really doesn’t give us much to go on regarding her Heroes and their inner life. ![]() ![]() ![]() Look at a standard hologram, printed on a 2D surface, and you’ll see a 3D projection of the image.
