Here is a quick description and cover image of book Dark Angel Lord Carew’s Bride (Stapleton-Downes, #3-4) written by Mary Balogh which was published in. Brief Summary of Book: Dark Angel Lord Carew’s Bride (Stapleton-Downes, #3-4) by Mary Balogh ![]() ![]() ![]() Some of them felt blatantly unbelievable (An organized crime lord that pimps out literal children and is responsible for hundreds or thousands or murders becomes one of the 'good guys'?)Ĭhild rape, man rape, woman rape. With the exception of one character (Dorian, who turned out great imo) none of them really stand out beyond being a generic NPC. The characters were almost universally cardboard cutouts. There is some neat lore that seems to exist, but in the end none of it really gets fleshed out well enough to stand out or even make much sense. The worldbuilding felt really, really generic, almost as if some of the cultures were created by rolling on some random kingdom generator. This series was a great palate cleanser an easy to read, clear cut "good versus evil" story. This was another Goodwill find (Goodwill is the best place ever for books!), and after having Hyperion beat my brain in, I wanted something a bit easier to digest. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And yet there’s also their son, Junior (whether he’s Sebastian junior isn’t really clear), who’s mysteriously spouting chemical formulas for gunpowder and other substances. Marla misses the man who literally screwed her to salvation, and Sebastian is so medicated he’s even less than who he was in the first book. If that seems absurd, it is, because no one is happy with the arrangement. They’re a suburban couple, working and raising a son. The story picks up years after the book: Marla and our narrator (now named Sebastian) living the very life that Tyler Durden detests. Men deflated and instead went for the chisel.) It made sense that the sequel would be the illicit love child of these two forms: the comic. (Remember Brad Pitt’s physique in that film? That’s how every guy wanted to become after decades of watching incredibly steroid inflated men on WWF fake-punch each other. After all, the first book read like a comic book, and then it was adapted into a movie that redefined what a “man’s man” should be. ![]() The choice of making the sequel to Fight Club a comic feels like a natural choice. From the puffy physiques of the 80’s, Pitt’s body redefined what being “buff” looked like. ![]() ![]() There is balm for the soul, fire for the belly, a cooling compress for the fevered brow, solace for the wounded, an arm around the lonely shoulder-the whole collection is a matchless compound of hug, tonic and kiss. “With on your shelf, you’ll never be at a loss for comforting words.” ![]() Ours Poetica captures the intimate experience of holding a poem in your hands and listening as it's read by a distinctive voice.

Edgy Reviews ![]() ![]() ![]() (Surely this must be the case if I still remember the storyline and I can instantly recognize the cover of the girl after reading this about 8 years ago.am i right?) Well, yes, of course this novel is age-appropriate for youngsters and probably a good read for teens too. Definitely a good novel even for young children. (And nothing turns me off more than a book that curses every two pages.) Not only is this novel clean is its words, it is also meaningful and unforgettable. Second, MY SISTER'S KEEPER is just an irritating novel pretty much the whole was expressed through cursing. First, this novel came BEFORE MY SISTER'S KEEPER. ![]() Comparing ZINK to MY SISTER'S KEEPER, MY SISTER'S KEEPER is just a poser. ![]() The story is pretty much similar to MY SISTER'S KEEPER, but the novel focuses one one character (in third person limited if I remember correctly) AND IT IS MUCH BETTER. (I also remember other at-the-end details, but I don't want to make this review a spoiler. I remember that the storyline follows a shy, young girl who is struck with leukemia and the novel follows her struggles on surviving the cancer internally and trying to overcome her fears on going back to school with her illness.
