My curiosity piqued, I delve into one of the books edited by the redoubtable Paula Guran for the Juno Books line out of Simon & Schuster, meeting a new female lead, a firefighter who now works the arson investigation side of the profession while moonlighting as a ghostbuster with a local group of specialists. This is my first foray into what is politely called the paranormal romance wing of urban fantasy. A classic example of this is the publishing industry which identifies niches and then relentlessly aims content at them. ![]() ![]() Invent a market and entrepreneurs pile in with product until no more can be sold. ![]() ![]() ![]() Animating each delicately rendered chapter in Kawakami's playful novel is Mr. But thanks in part to Masayo, Hitomi will come to realize that love, desire, and intimacy require acceptance not only of idiosyncrasies but also of the delicate waltz between open and hidden secrets.

By 1777, he had captured the attention of the army’s commander-in-chief, General George Washington, who gave him a position on his staff. When the Revolutionary War began, he was commissioned to lead an artillery company in the Continental Army and fought bravely in the Battles of Trenton and Princeton, among others. ![]() While studying at King’s College in New York (now Columbia University), Hamilton got involved in the colonial cause, writing pamphlets like “A Full Vindication of the Measures of Congress,” in which he defended the First Continental Congress’s proposal to embargo trade with Britain. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Hillenbrand's first book was the acclaimed Seabiscuit: An American Legend (2001), a nonfiction account of the career of the great racehorse Seabiscuit, for which she won the William Hill Sports Book of the Year in 2001. ![]() The 2003 film Seabiscuit was adapted from the book.

There's the intelligent and therefore unattractive girl and the beautiful and therefore dumb girl. Everyone else is either a typical stereotype or just a name. The MC is your generic normal and bland teenage/30 something female characte. I liked the idea of the story, I just found it incomplete as a book. ![]() I recognize there is enjoyment to be had for some with this novel, but it was unable to keep my interest and couldn’t quite reach my expectations, hence it’s score. ![]() I wish the story embraced more of these chills than the more ludicrous secrets that were held at Blackwood. There were admittedly a few moments of considerably unsettling imagery, many times with the use of a mirror. There were a few terms, such as “incredulously”, that were repeated consistently in over abundance. The writing seems, to be blunt, mediocre. None of the characters were likable or deep enough to latch onto. However, after the nearly absurd reveal, I feel that this book lost all its intrigue. The first act of this novel does an excellent job of building up mysterious tension of this ominous school that is the setting for the story. ![]() ![]() Midnight’s obligatory power-hungry rebellion is revealed to have longer-lasting implications for the politics of the Mouse Territories and the integrity of the Guard, while Sadie, Kenzie, and Saxon’s descent into the mindblowingly byzantine tunnels and vaulted caverns of Darkheather brings us closer to the darkness and horror that lie in the Guard’s recent past. ![]() Reading this volume, it’s clear that Fall 1152 was just a taster here our sense of the Guard’s mythology and traditions is deepened, and the worldbuilding continues apace, both within the comic and in the (again) adorable and obsessively detailed appendices. 2 has much more emotional meat on its bones than did the first arc.

Some of the Guard’s finest – Saxon, Kenzie, Lieam, and Sadie, with the old grayfur Celanawe by their side – traverse the snow-blanketed Territories, acting as diplomats to improve relations between the mouse cities and the Guard, and seeking vital supplies for their headquarters at Lockhaven. ![]() ![]() The Guard face a food shortage threatening the lives of many a mouse in the Territories. “After Midnight’s Rebellion in the Fall of 1152, the following Winter proves to be a cold and icy season. ![]() ![]() But this was a theme to which ‘opening the mind’ came as at best an irrelevance. As the headmaster put it: In form-room and hall and dormitory, on the field and on parade, in your relations with us masters and in the scale of seniority among yourselves, you have become familiar with the ideas of authority and obedience, of cooperation and loyalty, of putting the house and the school above your personal desires … The great theme of the ‘scale of seniority’ was the balance of privilege and duty, itself reflecting the more worthy side of the British Empire.
