Lark is a small town, everyone knows each other’s business and this brings added danger to Darren with every interaction especially, as to investigate the case properly, he must engage with Lark’s racist, violent white population. The racial conflict in Bluebird, Bluebird gives a real sense of tension right up until it’s final pages. Lark’s white population is in the main openly racist and Darren, a black ranger, attracts a lot of attention. She has woven racial tensions into her story of crime incredibly well. This is the first Attica Locke book that I have read. Lark, not unexpectedly to Darren, is a town openly prejudice and with it an inherent violence where crossing racial lines or digging up secrets can get you killed. The local police seem to have written off Wright’s death as an accident. A week later local white girl, Missy, is also found dead. The call is about Michael Wright, a black lawyer from Chicago, found drowned in the bayou behind a local cafe in the small town of Lark. So, when he gets a call from a friend in the FBI, he sees it as an opportunity to show he’s worthy of remaining a Ranger. Still, Darren loves what he does, it’s important to him. His career in the Rangers was not the one he’d initially pursued and that hasn’t helped. This and the pressures of his job are affecting his marriage. Waiting on a Grand Jury to see if they indict a friend, his part in the situation has put his job on the line. Texas Ranger Darren Matthews is under the cosh both at work and in his personal life.

Now, some twenty-odd years later, this book stands as both a classic and a still-revolutionary work-one that continues to push us gently but profoundly to the furthest borders of the gender frontier. Gender Outlaw was decades ahead of its time when it was first published in 1994. But this particular coming-of-age story is also a provocative investigation into our notions of male and female, from a self-described nonbinary transfeminine diesel femme dyke who never stops questioning our cultural assumptions. On one level, Gender Outlaw details Bornstein’s transformation from heterosexual male to lesbian woman, from a one-time IBM salesperson to a playwright and performance artist. The trouble is, we’re living in a world that insists we be one or the other.” With these words, Kate Bornstein ushers readers on a funny, fearless, and wonderfully scenic journey across the terrains of gender and identity.

Probably you would come up with someone very like Harry Dresden, wizard, tough guy and star of. But where there’s black magic, there’s a black mage behind it. Longtime series fans as well as newcomers drawn by the SciFi Channel’s TV series based on the novels should find this supernatural mystery a real winner.”- Library Journal The Dresden Files Books in Order (Only the novels) Storm Front When the police bring Harry Dresden in to consult on a grisly double murder committed with black magic, He’s seeing a solution to his financial difficulties. “A tricky plot complete with against-the-clock pacing, firefights, explosions, and plenty of magic. “What’s not to like about this series?.It takes the best elements of urban fantasy, mixes it with some good old-fashioned noir mystery, tosses in a dash of romance and a lot of high-octane action, shakes, stirs, and serves.”- SF Site The supporting cast is again fantastic, and Harry’s wit continues to fly in the face of a peril-fraught plot.”- Booklist (starred review) “Butcher.spins an excellent noirish detective yarn in a well-crafted, supernaturally-charged setting. “One of the most enjoyable marriages of the fantasy and mystery genres on the shelves.”- Cinescape “Superlative.”- Publishers Weekly (starred review) Hamilton and Tanya Huff will love this series.”- Midwest Book Review “Think Buffy the Vampire Slayer starring Philip Marlowe.”- Entertainment Weekly By turns jubilant and moving, it’s a memoir for anybody who’s ever fallen completely and helplessly in love with a pet. It celebrates the refusal to accept limits-on love, ability, or hope against overwhelming odds. Homer’s Odyssey is the once-in-a-lifetime story of an extraordinary cat and his human companion. And by the time she met the man she would marry, she realized Homer had taught her the most important lesson of all: Love isn’t something you see with your eyes. He survived being trapped alone for days after 9/11 in an apartment near the World Trade Center, and even saved Gwen’s life when he chased off an intruder who broke into their home in the middle of the night.īut it was Homer’s unswerving loyalty, his infinite capacity for love, and his joy in the face of all obstacles that inspired Gwen daily and transformed her life. Homer scaled seven-foot bookcases with ease and leapt five feet into the air to catch flies in mid-buzz. But the kitten nobody believed in quickly grew into a three-pound dynamo, a tiny daredevil with a giant heart who eagerly made friends with every human who crossed his path. It was love at first sight.Įveryone warned that Homer would always be an “underachiever,” never as playful or independent as other cats. Then Gwen’s veterinarian called with a story about a three-week-old eyeless kitten who’d been abandoned. She already had two, not to mention a phenomenally underpaying job and a recently broken heart. The last thing Gwen Cooper wanted was another cat. Until then, at least we can always go back and read the original books. No matter what the news is it looks like fans will certainly have a lot to look forward to very soon.

"If I tried to write Midnight Sun now, in my current frame of mind, James would probably win and all the Cullens would die, which wouldn’t dovetail too well with the original story," Stephenie wrote in a blog post after the leak.
