6/7/2023 0 Comments The malamander![]() ![]() ![]() Sony Pictures have secured the film rights for the movie adaptation and Game of Thrones’ Alfie Allen has lent his voice to the audiobook edition. And it just got stranger…īought in a frenzied eight publisher auction, Malamander sold in 12 foreign territories before it was even published, and was a children’s bestseller on release. Eerie-on-Sea has always been a mysteriously chilling place, where strange stories seem to wash up. No one knows what happened to Violet Parma’s parents twelve years ago, and when she engages Herbie to help her find them, the pair discover that their disappearance might have something to do with the legendary sea-monster, the Malamander. Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, knows that returning lost things to their rightful owners is not easy – especially when the lost thing is not a thing at all, but a girl. Especially not when darkness falls and the wind howls around Maw Rocks and the wreck of the battleship Leviathan, where even now some swear they have seen the slimy Malamander creep… It’s a story about friendship and belonging, about out-of-season seaside towns and bewildering weather, about. Nobody visits Eerie-on-Sea in the winter. Malamander is the first in a series of stories about the ‘Legends of Eerie-on-Sea’, in which we meet Herbert Lemon, Lost-and-Founder at the Grand Nautilus Hotel, and his friend Violet Parma, who is lost and wants to be found.

Once, under the leadership of the legendary Deliverer, and armed with powerful wards that were not merely shields but weapons, they took the battle to the demons…īut those days are gone. Once, men and women battled the corelings on equal terms. For hundreds of years the demons have terrorized the night, slowly culling the human herd that shelters behind magical wards symbols of power whose origins are lost in myth and mystery, and whose protection is terrifyingly fragile. They possess supernatural strength and powers and burn with a consuming hatred of humanity. And gigantic rock demons, the deadliest of all. The time has come to stand against the night.Īs darkness falls each night, the corelings rise demons who well up from the ground like hellish steam, taking on fearsome form and substance. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments The Bully by Sophie Lark![]() ![]() The first book in the series features Leo Gallo (son of Sebastian Gallo and Yelena Yenina from Heavy Crown, book 6 in Sophie’s Brutal Birthrights series) and Anna Wilk (daughter of Mikolaj Wilk and Nessa Griffin from Stolen Heir, book 2 of the same series). The world building by Ms Lark is amazing and I absolutely love the school as the backdrop of the Kingmakers world. Apart from the obvious combat skills (physical combat and shooting etc), other interesting skills include ways to endure torture, hacking and the ethics of money laundering (seriously lol). Kingmakers, similar to how Hogwarts is teaching magic to the magical youngsters, is the school all kids from mafia families attend to learn their ways of the mafia world. The Heir (originally titled The Freshman) is the first book in the Kingmakers series by Sophie Lark and it blows my mind away. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments Sylvia day crossfire book 1![]() ![]() ![]() She moves to New York City to be closer to her wealthy mother and stepfather. Since the synopsis doesn’t really tell you much about the plot of the book, I’ll go over it briefly. The first thing I noticed about Bared to You was that the writing is phenomenal! This is one of those books where I feel like I need to quote every other line because they’re all loaded with power, meaning, and intensity! And on top of that, the dialogue was hilarious! The main character Eva is brilliantly witty and her lines in particular had me cracking up! The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each other's most private wounds. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness-beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot.

Much to my parents’ relief, I abandoned my theatrical aspirations after college for the far more stable and lucrative career of fiction writing. I graduated from Williams College in ’98 and I currently live in Boston with my husband, my perfect new baby, and my adorable yoodle Sunshine (what’s a yoodle? A puppy that’s three-quarters poodle and one-quarter Yorkshire terrier, of course!). because it was artistically fulfilling, yes.) I was born July 31 (same birthday as Harry Potter!) in Caracas, Venezuela, and lived in Asuncion, Paraguay Miami, Florida and Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, before moving to New Jersey in high school, where I started doing theatre-mostly backstage work, because (a) it was fun, and (b) you got to hang out in the dark with cute boys. Among the many great things to come out of New Zealand (the Lord of the Rings movies, cats that paint, my mom) is a bird called the tui-not as well known as the kiwi, but a heck of a lot noisier!
