She wants to go to sexy, exciting Montreal and be part of Expo 67, even if it means faking her way into the school choir. School is torture, with the nuns watching every move she makes. Maureen's dad, once gorgeously young, is now a beaten-down man who tells his best stories when he is drunk. There is no one like Maureen, the second youngest daughter of the Sarge, a mother so bitter, so angry about her fate that she bullies her children and her husband before anyone else has a chance to.

Do I even need to say more?' 5***** READER REVIEW 'Enemies to Lovers and full of Angst. ARMENTROUT, bestselling author of FROM BLOOD AND ASH 'You will devour it! Badass females, slow burn romance, enemies to lovers. DISCOVER THE SPELLBINDING DARK FANTASY TIKTOK SENSATION 'Do not walk to pick up this book. He was thoroughly biblical in his theology and radical in his actions. He was no pious mystic cut off from the realities of poverty or injustice. One of the outstanding bible teachers of his day, his devotional books continue to bless the church, yet he had a great heart for the poor and marginalised. Yet here is a man who, in his day was committed to preaching the gospel in its fullness and expressing the gospel in all its beauty. Bob Holman has done a service in bringing this remarkable character to life again, and his story will encourage, challenge and stretch us in a day when we need to rediscover men and women of this caliber who left the world a better place., For too long the figure of F. Meyer was one of the great influences of the evangelical world in the latter 19th and early 20th century. Its like the book couldn’t keep its own story straight. But they were also inconsistent and THAT did bother me. The characters were unlikeable but that didn’t bother me. The construction of events in the latter half of the book is sloppy, and not very well thought through. However a few hours into the book the narration devolves into too much telling and not much showing – we, the readers get handed “knowledge”. In short plenty of red herrings, and juicy characterizations to liven up the proceedings. There are a couple of suspects and enough reasons to motivate them to do the deed – financial hardship, class disparities, a mental aberration, headstrong characters out to prove a point etc. This mystery begins very well, and keeps up the pace and the quality around about halfway. He considers them prime suspects in Cora’s kidnapping. When Detective Rasbach makes an entrance he finds the couple wan, bereft and apparently grief-stricken. However, when they return home from the party the front door is ajar and Cora is not in her crib. They take the baby monitor with them and come home to check on her every half an hour. Babysitter having bailed last minute, Anne and Marco leave baby daughter Cora at home alone while stepping out for dinner at the neighbor’s house. That’s not to say there’s no drama or conflict at all, though the amount varies a lot book to book and you’re pretty much guaranteed a happy ending. A cozy, low-stakes novel of found family and reinventing oneself, it became an instant Amazon bestseller and word-of-mouth success. What exactly makes a book cozy? It’s all about a feeling, and what’s cozy to me might not be exactly the same for you.īut generally speaking, cozy mysteries feature goodhearted characters, supportive friends, magical elements, and often even found family. Legends & Lattes started out as an unassuming project for National Novel Writing Month 2021, and turned into something else entirely. And like cozy mysteries, sometimes called “cozies” for short, cozy fantasy definitely has a subjective element. Like cozy mysteries, cozy fantasy books tends to be somewhat lower stakes than is usual for the genre. The concept was relatively new to me as well, though I quickly realized these sorts of warm and fuzzy fantasy stories were ones I had been seeking out for a long time without even realizing there was a name for it. If you’re not familiar with the genre, welcome to your new favorite fantasy sub-genre. Anytime I’m having trouble focusing on reading, I love to pick up a cozy fantasy book to reset.

All the while, a murderer stalks citizens of Ombrazia, and the Palazzo military seems keen to ignore the climbing body counts, except when a prized disciple of Death becomes a victim.
