![]() ![]() But don't say I didn't warn you, it's going to blindside you when it happens. It keeps you on the edge of your seat and turning pages. Neill made me feel something reading her story, I really did enjoy the story. So now where do we go from here and whenever a character gets killed off there's the why, so onward to Book 5, Drink Deep and maybe some of our questions will be answered. Think I sniffled and wiped my eyes for 5-10 minutes. I said after 4 books you're invested in what happens and where the story is going to take us. So here I am at lunch reading this, and we lose our character and my heart breaks along with all the characters in the book. ![]() Actually I don't read reviews, so I didn't see this coming, wasn't expecting it.so I'm pretty much blindsided by it. It's like losing a friend when an author does this. You've invested 4 books, you've gotten to know all these characters, the likeable ones and the villians. Here we are, book 4 of the Chicagoland Vampire series, and boom, there goes one of the main characters. ![]() I hate when about half way through a series one of the main/regular characters gets killed off. Not a full spoiler, more of, this is going to happen be ready for it. I'm warning you there's a bit of a spoiler here. ![]()

She recounts a date she went on with a man named Alex, during which she steals a wallet in the restaurant’s bathroom. In the novel’s first story, “Found Objects,” Sasha meets with her therapist, Coz, with whom she is working to overcome an addiction to stealing. Several characters appear in more than one story, and through the ways in which they appear at different points in time, their narratives become clear. ![]() The novel is also split into two parts-A and B-which echoes the two sides of an album. Instead, they leap through time, showing slices of different time periods occurring between the late 1970s and the 2020s. The stories, as they appear in the novel, do not follow a traditional chronology. Each chapter stands as a self-contained story, but as a whole, the individual episodes create connections that form a cohesive narrative. ![]() A Visit from the Goon Squad is unconventional in the way its narrative unfolds. ![]() ![]() ![]() Though they were all published under the name Dr. ![]() After his death in 1991, several books have been published based on his sketches and notes these include Hooray for Diffendoofer Day! and Daisy-Head Mayzie.

In the style of a somewhat modernized film noir, Survive the Night tells the story of Charlie, a New Jersey college student looking for a ride home to Ohio on a cold winter’s night. I think I had more problems with this novel’s resolution than any of his others, but still, Sager is the absolute master of gripping, pacy thrillers, and this one is no exception definitely recommended if it catches your eye. Set in a decaying Victorian estate in Vermont (can’t go wrong there), Home Before Dark is a sufficiently eerie and unsettling haunted house horror story which indulges a lot of genre’s tropes, but which doesn’t ultimately subvert them in a very interesting way. I’ve read all of Sager’s books now and this isn’t one of my favorites from him I’d put it second to last, with only The Last Time I Lied below it. ![]() ![]() Let’s see if I can come up with a few sentences. I read this book over a year ago and annoyingly never got around to reviewing it - I’m only returning to it now as I’m about to review Riley Sager’s newest offering, Survive the Night, and I’m a completionist. ![]() ![]() ![]() Both stories follow the main characters breaking down these social barriers. The gangs and the cliques provide safety and security, but also limit what people can do. ![]() The parallels between the cliques in Bratz: The Movie (2007) and the rival gangs in These Violent Delights (2020) both comment on how dividing people up into ultra rigid groups is detrimental to everyone involved and isn't a good way to run society. My favorite part of the book, however, was the similarities it had to Bratz: The Movie (2007). I thought the two leads, Juliette and Roma, both had bratitude (without it becoming that attitude). The characters all felt very fleshed out, and the enemies to lovers arc was very well done, and (even though they repeatedly tried to kill each other) never felt unhealthy, since they had a pretty balanced power dynamic. The setting of 1920's Shanghai is fabulous and helps set the tone for the book. ![]() The girlbossification of Juliette was something I didn't expect, but I was pleasantly surprised. ![]() The book is a rowdy and real retelling of Romeo and Juliet, and it keeps enough of the original source material, but changes it enough that the book is still funky and fly. You know it's all about Chloe Gong's 2020 young adult fantasy novel These Violent Delights. ![]() ![]() ![]() She wrote a regular column in the Christchurch Sun's 'Women's World' section and freelance articles in the Shakespearean Quarterly, Vision, and The Green Room. In Christchurch, New Zealand, Travers's career turned towards journalism. She rejoined the Allan Wilkie Company and travelled Australia and New Zealand. It was at this time that the more sophisticated 'Pamela Travers' emerged into public view. This was followed by a tour of New South Wales with a repertory company. In March 1921 her stage career began when Allan Wilkie offered her a part in The Merry Wives of Windsor. ![]() After leaving school Travers worked as a cashier for the Australian Gas and Light Company at her relatives' insistence. She attended the Bowral branch of the Sydney Church of England Girls Grammar School and, from 1912, Normanhurst Boarding School for Girls at Ashfield where her love of writing and the stage evolved. The family moved to Bowral, New South Wales, and Travers had to take on adult responsibilities as the oldest child. In 1907 Travers's life changed forever with the death of her lyrical, melancholy father whose first name she adopted as her pseudonym for a lifetime of writing. Travers had a difficult childhood with an alcoholic father and periodic separations. ![]() The eldest of three children, Travers grew up in a Celtic atmosphere with a succession of Irish nannies. Travers' was the daughter of Travers Robert Goff, an English bank manager with Irish connections, and his Scots-Irish wife, Margaret Agnes, nee Morehead. ![]() ![]() ![]() The grass was largely cleared of the mounds of caps, shirts, boots, trousers and drawers that had covered it.
