![]() ![]() It’s clear that her mom lacks empathy but being what her job is, that makes sense. But, not strict in any normal sense of the way. Obey her strict Mother or pay the consequences. In the beginning, how her life normally is lived is pretty obvious. I really liked following her throughout the book. ![]() Nita was definitely an interesting character. ![]() It took a little bit to get into but once I was absorbed in the story, it was hard to put down. The whole story blended really nicely and definitely gave a unique feel. I really liked the different supernatural beings that were introduced in this book and how unnaturals were integrated into this world as well. While that is the generalized plot of the story, there was more to it. There isn’t much I can say without giving away the story but there was definitely more than just Nita being sold and trying to escape. The author really used the surroundings to her advantage to make this story seem more realistic. I like that this wasn’t done in a fantastical sort of setting where it was in a made up world, I don’t think it would have worked as well. ![]() The black market and everything is in South America and it was just really well done. So, this book was not what I was expecting it to be. ![]()

![]() ![]() The book can be split up into three parts: 1, crazy stalker 2, learning more about crazy stalker, 3, falling in love with crazy stalker. Very “Twilight”-esque Plot with romanticized stalking ![]() It gets spooky and eerie at points which could give you some effed up dreams. This is not a book I'd recommend you read at night. I found her little journal entries to be riveting and the fact that Adaline had more going on than just her stalker made the character feel more rounded. The murder of her great grandmother was such a cool addition to the plot. Some of the sexual content in this book was tough for me to read, I just don't think stalkers are sexy but Zade did grow on me as the book progressed but I still found the romance tough to swallow. Not to mention the cliffhanger at the end which had me beside myself. I am rating this book 4 stars because the plot and story are very intriguing. I disagree with the sheer number of poor reviews on this book strictly due to the fact that the readers were unprepared for the disturbing and dark content. A lot of darker themes are tackled here and as a reader you need to be smart about knowing what you're walking into. This is a full on dark stalker romance with some murder mystery elements. And the trigger warnings need to be taken seriously. Okay so this book is definitely for mature adults. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Eddie Brock has his hands more than full!

As all hell breaks loose and Carnage's army swarms the streets of New York, what will happen when even more of Venom's twisted offspring make their presence known?! And as if things weren't bad enough, it turns out there's much more to Dylan than Venom, Carnage or even the alternate-reality Reed Richards known as the Maker understand - and once they learn the truth about Eddie Brock's son, nothing will ever be the same! Product Details ![]() ![]() ![]() In my pinion it adds a dramatic touch to the book. If they get wet they would probably die."Įffect: This technique is used more than once throughout the novel. Also, the sudden end to all the sentences keeps the reader interested because there is no unnecessary detail.Įxample: : "The water beat upon him."Įffect: This is a personification ised by Cormac McCarthy to add detail to the situation, and bring an image to the readers mind.Įxample: : " If they get wet there'd be no fire to dry by. ![]() ![]() They only act and speak when necessary, and I believe the author has these fragment sentences to show the reader that. I think this is a technique that would not work as well in other books, and the reason it works in this book is because for the majority of the novel there is only two characters.Įxample: : "This was not a safe place."Įffect: This technique to me makes the readers see how the two character are in the book. They get straight to the point, and do not talk very offen. Which works in this case since the two main characters are both very straight forward and dont talk about nonsense. In my opinion the laque of quotation marks make the dialogue more plain. Example: : What is that papa? It's a dam.Įffect: This is a technique, used by Cormac McCarthy that I have never seen before. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But Cyra is much more than just a blade in her brother’s hand: she is resilient, quick on her feet, and smarter than he knows.Īkos is from the peace-loving nation of Thuvhe, and his loyalty to his family is limitless.
