Clear water by amy lane5/29/2023 ![]() Can everybody make it out with their skin intact? The only down was that this book is mid series, some scenes or discussions were slightly confusing without the context of previous books, although generally the author managed to supply some details of previous episodes."Ī tomcat, a psychopath, and a psychic walk into the desert to rescue the men they love…. The quality of the writing also meant characters were clearly defined, each one unique. Beautifully written so settings were real - from shopping in Walmart’s to raiding a mercenary military camp. ![]() "Exciting plot, well paced - interspersing periods of high action with domestic scenarios. ![]() The characters were amazing and Amy's writing style is fun and addictive."

The Wall by William Sutcliffe5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() (Although it never actually mentions these countries by name).Joshua is a teenager, living in Amarias, with his mother and her new husband. In my opinion, it managed to show both sides of the Israeli, Palestinian situation, how each fears the other and suffers as a result. Very powerful.I was hugely impressed by this well balanced book, aimed at Young Adults, and with a hard hitting message. It is also a political fable that powerfully evokes the realities of life on the West Bank, telling the story of a Settler child who finds there are two sides to every story. The Wall is a novel about a boy who undertakes a short journey to another world, to a place where everything he knows about loyalty, identity and justice is turned upside down. He's heard plenty of stories about the other side, but nothing has prepared him for what he finds. He knows he won't get another opportunity to see what is beyond The Wall until he's old enough for military service, and the chance to crawl through and solve the mystery is too tempting to resist. One day, looking for a lost football, Joshua stumbles across a tunnel which leads towards this forbidden territory. Joshua has been taught that beyond the concrete is a brutal and unforgiving enemy, and that The Wall is the only thing keeping him and his people safe. At the edge of Amarias is a high wall, guarded by soldiers, which can only be crossed through a heavily fortified checkpoint. He lives with his mother and stepfather in Amarias, an isolated town on top of a hill, where all the houses are brand new. ![]()

Who’s responsible? Is it the new witch hunting group that has suddenly cropped up or is something supernatural afoot? When Emilia’s twin becomes a victim, Emilia, who was normally the more cautious of the two, throws all caution to the wind and vows revenge.Īt its heart, I’d say Kingdom of the Wicked is a story of revenge. ![]() The witches in Sicily live in secret to avoid persecution, so it is quite shocking when witches start turning up dead, brutally murdered. Kingdom of the Wicked follows Emilia a young witch who lives with her family, including her twin sister Vittoria, in Sicily. I started reading it last week and let me tell you, it’s the perfect dark and twisted read for spooky season. ![]() I was a big fan of Kerri Maniscalco’s Stalking Jack the Ripper series so I couldn’t wait to get my hands on a copy of her latest novel, Kingdom of the Wicked, especially once I heard it was about witches and demons.

Range generalists5/28/2023 ![]() Frequent quitters end up with the most fulfilling careers. ![]() Provocative, rigorous, and engrossing, Range makes a compelling case for actively cultivating inefficiency. ![]() They’re also more creative, more agile, and able to make connections their more specialized peers can’t see. Generalists often find their path late, and they juggle many interests rather than focusing on one. He discovered that in most fields-especially those that are complex and unpredictable-generalists, not specialists, are primed to excel. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.ĭavid Epstein examined the world’s most successful athletes, artists, musicians, inventors, forecasters and scientists. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. ![]() ABOUT THE BOOK What's the most effective path to success in any domain?

Surveillance valley yasha levine5/28/2023 ![]() But this isn't just a story about the NSA or other domestic programs run by the government. ![]() As Levine shows, surveillance wasn't something that suddenly appeared on the internet it was woven into the fabric of the technology. This idea - using computers to spy on people and groups perceived as a threat, both at home and abroad - drove ARPA to develop the internet in the 1960s, and continues to be at the heart of the modern internet we all know and use today. A visionary intelligence officer, William Godel, realized that the key to winning the war in Vietnam was not outgunning the enemy, but using new information technology to understand their motives and anticipate their movements. In this fascinating book, investigative reporter Yasha Levine uncovers the secret origins of the internet, tracing it back to a Pentagon counterinsurgency surveillance project. The internet is the most effective weapon the government has ever built. ![]()

Sundial book catriona ward5/28/2023 ![]() In a nutshell, Rob is concerned about the behaviour of her daughter Callie and decides to take her on a trip to her childhood home, Sundial, in the middle of the Mojave desert. Found myself thinking ‘but, why?!’ a lot! ![]() It’s really difficult to review this book without giving away spoilers, but I found a lot of the decisions that are often part of a big reveal are extremely questionable and often implausible. Most of the characters are awful human beings and there are no redeeming factors about any of them. The writing is the only thing pretty about this novel though, the story is so unbelievably dark and just when you think it can’t possibly get any worse you’re proved wrong on the next page. ![]() I saw another reviewer called the writing ‘flowery,’ but I’m a sucker for pretty, figurative language and will take all the metaphors! Having read The Last House on Needless Street last year, I was expecting Catriona Ward’s second novel to be just as dark and twisty, and on that front I was not disappointed! It is definitely a gripping read and the prose is often beautiful, particularly when describing the setting of Sundial. ![]()
