So when he rescues the latest damsel in distress, no one is more shocked than him to realize he’s played prince charming to another…prince.īut Bash isn’t like anyone Kieran has ever met, and soon his world is turned upside down as he becomes more intrigued by the enigmatic man that he can’t stay away from. Kieran Bailey, a sexy, hardworking lieutenant at Station 73, has been reaping the rewards of being crowned the city’s hottest fireman, which his crew never lets him forget. That is, until he’s thrown over the shoulder of one of Chicago’s finest and hauled out of a burning building. He’s more than fulfilled with his company and his closest friends, and no one is going to shake up the status quo. Self-assured and playful, he’s never left wanting for suitors-but Bash isn’t looking for something permanent. Sebastian “Bash” Vogel, the magnetic, cross-dressing CEO of AnaVoge, has long been a lone island when it comes to his personal life. From Ella Frank’s Prime Time series and Brooke Blaine’s South Haven series comes an explosive spin-off of both worlds. Throughout the book we see both characters get involved in shootouts, negotiations, and rescues as they try to settle the matter. They fly to Rome to try to quell the violence. The two principal characters are investigators Muslim Khalid al-Zarzisi and Jew Dawud ibn Musa. Europe is also extremely religious, with the Catholic Church calling the shots. Europe, on the other hand, is besieged by warfare, terrorist attacks by fanatics, and the oppression of women and other minorities. The setting of the book is in an alternate universe where the Muslim world is superior, with advanced technology, world-class medicine and science, a democracy where people enjoy equal rights and are happy, and where the food is plentiful. Through Darkest Europe is the latest alternate history novel by Harry Turtledove. This however is probably the only time where I have actually read the whole (online) magazine in which this story was published. Maybe at long last they've realized this themselves. Frankly, I never understood why it is preferable to have a skewed rating system, and messed up (not properly searchable) shelves, by virtue of forcing people to shelve and rate online magazines, when in fact the vast majority of those people reads (and rates) just one of the freely available stories. However, Goodreads and short stories - this has always been a match made in hell. It shouldn't be something worth mentioning. The first one being that there is a discrete entry for this story now. But my original review is in some other place. Instead, thanks to the mercy of a wealthy widow and the attention of her stable hand, Ned, Bill Furlong had a good life, even after his young mother died.īut Bill is feeling unrest. He knows all he cares for could be lost at any moment, knows that as the son of an unwed servant, he could have ended up in a very bad place. Bill Furlong, almost forty, a hard working coal merchant with a wife and five daughters, knows how good he has it. This novella takes place in cold and wintery 1986 Ireland. This book is a short read but will stay with you for so much longer. Like so many small towns, people are struggling to get by, and people are being driven from their homes, heart wrenched, into the cities to find decent jobs. It is set in Ireland where times are hard, economic depression is settling in. If you enjoy It’s A Wonderful Life or the story of The Good Samaritan, you will love this book. One day, near Christmas, he makes a delivery at convent when he discovers something that doesn’t sit quite right with him. Furlong is making ends meet though, delivering fuel in the form of coals and logs to the townspeople. The town has known hard times, factories are closing up, and people are being laid off. They have enough to eat and aren’t living on credit. He has a happy life with his wife and five daughters. Bill Furlong is living a quiet, unglamorous life in Ireland. The previous book, Pandemonium, ended on one of the cruelest cliffhangers ever!! I had a feeling we hadn’t seen the last of Alex, but I never expected Lena to be torn between her love for Alex and her attachment to Julian. While Lena is dealing with the aftereffects of rescuing Julian and the upcoming revolution, her best friend Hana remains in Portland, dealing with being in the public eye as the future mayor’s fiance. However, the rebellion has reached the Wilds as well. After rescuing Julian Fineman from his execution, Lena and he flee to the Wilds in hopes of safety. The rebellion that has been brewing throughout the previous two books has finally escalated, with Lena right in the middle of all the action. Lena has become an active member of the resistance, fighting alongside her friends for the right to love. **SPOILERS for Delirium and Pandemonium ahead!! “‘Don’t you nivver go near un,’” she’s told by her hated nurse. Her fen, “alive with vast skeins of geese… the last stretch of the ancient marshes that once drowned the whole of East Anglia”, casts “a dim green subaqueous glimmer” over her story Maud, poised between superstition and religion, is inexorably drawn to it. Wakenhyrst is equally brilliant, spanning fen devils, mystics and the lot of women in Edwardian England as Paver carefully circles the question of Stearne’s madness: are the devils he sees real or imagined? Twisting back through time, Stone Mothers is the story of how a covered-up murder will never lie quietly Paver is known for her bestselling Chronicles of Ancient Darkness children’s series, but she is also the author of gloriously chilling novels for adults: her Arctic winter-set ghost story Dark Matter is a work of wonder. Partnered by Olga, an Other who is in the form of an owl, he struggles to remove the curse and thereby save the city, while at the same time prevent Igor from falling into the clutches of the Dark. The Night Watch (Russian:, Nochnoy Dozor) is a fantasy novel by a popular Russian writer Sergei Lukyanenko published in 1998 (1st ed ISBN.

On his rounds, Anton comes across a young woman, Svetlana, whom he realizes is under a curse that threatens the entire city, and a boy, Igor, a young Other, as yet unaware of his own enormous power. Anton, an Other on the side of the Light, is a night-watchman, patrolling the streets and Metro of the city as he protects ordinary people from the vampires of the Dark. Set in Moscow, a small number of Muscovites with supernatural powers – those who are Other, owing allegiance either to the Dark or the Light – co-exist in an uneasy truce, each side watching the other’s activities around the city closely.
