This is a well written thriller, which comes a long way to show that the author has the knack to tell a good story. It is fast-paced and suspenseful, all necessary ingredients for a thriller, and the setting comes in handy to make "The Temporary Agent" a worthy read. The characters are well-developed too, but the plot did not live up to my expectations. Like in other well-researched novels like "Triple Agent Double Cross", "The Key to Rebecca" and a host of other novels out there with memorable characters who could not escape their pasts, this novel provides a good insight into the lives of "Dogs of War".

Court roman qui permet de comprendre le début de la série des dragons preor. Les Ujals se préparent à fêter Noël à la demande de leurs compagnes humaines lorsque le vaisseau des Dragons preor arrive en orbite autour de la terre. S'en suit divers événements stressants et un espoir d'entente entre les 3 races ? Il y a encore de l'émotion, du sexe et de l'humour malgré la violence des événements mais comme le roman est court tout très vite et le couple représentant les dragons preor est très attachant

How I loved this story, it glued smiles on my face all day long!I meet Big Mike and Minnie in the sequel “cooked Goose”, so impossible to not read how they meet.Minnie is definitively not a nitwit but a must in the sassy, brashly, ballsy, crazy nuts category and totally hilarious. Nothing might stops her nor a MC riders war nor a wall of a man like Big Mike.Big Mike will have to learn fast the gorgeous blond is not an empty brain but trouble with a capital T.And Linnie will soon learn he is more than all-muscles-no-brain hunk of a man.Those two are an explosive reaction, where they go, bodies stack up on their way.So if you want to understand how a twelve can be drawn by a four, jump in the rail and follow Minnie and Big Mike story.

Cette suite de P&P pour une fois respecte assez bien les caractères d'Elizabeth et Darcy. Ils ne deviennent pas d'un coup de baguette magique deux amants qui se comprennent en chaque occasion. Les fiançailles sont longues et turbulentes comme leurs précédents échanges, des hauts et des bas, mais tout est bien qui finit bien...

A devastating, beautiful love story about two people, Elias and Lila, who had to struggle for their love to survive and to flourish. About the Night is a story of hope, loss and love. A very moving book. I also liked it for the reminders of places I visited some years ago.

WOW! This is a great introduction to an amazing series! Prince Aster is one blue hottie! Aster never thought true mates could happen to him, let alone a human and Fremmian. Aster never met a more opinionated, strong willed, honest and curvaceous human like Evie. I adore Evie. Evie is a strong heroine, a no–nonsense woman with a knack for cooking; her specialty is Fremmian cuisine. Aster is captivated by Evie and she poses a big challenge for this prince. I love the passion, love and interaction that play out between Aster and Evie. The details of the story are wonderful well throughout. Nancey Cummings does a great job of setting the stage and establishing background foundation for more stories in the series. I cannot wait to see what happens once these two leave the space ship???

Kerry J Donovan is a very eclectic writer. His characters, plots and settings take us all over the planet. The little I know about Colorado which I have never visited would not normally have attracted my curiosity. But this is a good, highly original well-written and well-researched book and it aroused my interest in the space of the first few pages, after which I was hooked. (This is one of the joys of Kindle Unlimited which offers such a variety that you get to 'meet' a host of authors you hadn't got around to before). Read it.

Ce 2ème volet est aussi bon que le premier, impossible de le lâcher.Le héros a pris corps, son entourage aussi, ses amis ont pris de l'envergure, et les révélations finales ne seront peut-être pas aussi simplistes qu'on pouvait l'attendre au premier tome.Mais surtout, pour moi, ce qui fait un bon livre c'est une histoire ou les gentils ne sont pas que gentils, ils meurent parfois, comme dans la vie.Une des meilleures histoires que j'ai lue depuis pas mal de temps.

Please enter this forest of feelings and adventures in a world that has been severely impaired in its equilibrium by some horrible selfish act that caused the worst climate change imaginable: no wind, no rain or nearly no rain, a frighteningly horrible heat, the development of some parasites like mosquitoes bringing along diseases known as the Sickness killing everyone that is still alive and preventing the growth and happiness of anyone. That’s the first big road in this imaginary drama: a man representing the whole humanity, a man, a male human being, is the cause of all that horrible fate, tragedy because he was refused some vanity, some power, some recognition, in other words the basic vanity of the human race to do just as they please without thinking of the planet and of anyone else.Personally I find that too abrupt and one-sided, even if we take this as being symbolical. In the fate of this planet endangered by the growth out of any proportion of humanity, it is impossible to accuse, even symbolically, the male side of this humanity to be responsible for it, and what’s more this male side of humanity kills his wife, hence the female side of humanity, symbolically of course, but even so.The second line in this story, this tale, this dramatic saga, is the fact that the daughter, Nemsa, of this man, Brastalos, who he has tried to kill in a way or another, survives, unknown of him, with a dead eye and a crooked leg, hence half blind and a spastics unable to walk properly. That’s the beginning of the story.This world is based on the existence of four gods and four winds, four gods representing four winds and these four winds are the source of all that is living and good on earth. They bring rain, they bring life, they bring coolness, etc. The male of just before, the killing father and husband, has taken these four winds, these four gods, these four Guardians, prisoner, thus killing the universe. Only a Fifth Guardian can be the savior of this world and free the four Guardians, the four winds, by breaking the seal Brastalos has imposed onto the sealing rock blocking all exit or entry into the prison. Note these simple symbols. Four is the crucifixion of Jesus in the Christian faith. Five is the pentacle or the pentagram of evil still in the Christian tradition. And to make sure we get the message the situation will have to be saved, the four Guardians will have to be liberated by the Fifth Guardian (the pentacle becomes positive, or is it still negative in a perverse way, like some anti-Christ?) who will have to be a woman and one of three women coming to just perform this salvation.This trinity is too simple, but it is effective and it brings in with these three women a completely different line, that of love. Roux is the oldest of the three (she is immortal and thus very old). The second Xenthia is also old, but less old and she was the lover of Roux a long time ago and though Roux still loves her, she does not love Roux any more. We are thus plunged into a love story among women. The third one in Nemsa, the young child, hardly a teenager and she is seduced by and falls in love with Xenthia. Roux becomes jealous and we have all along a ménage-à-trois that is funny in many ways with irritating jealousy, explanations about anything that has nothing to do with the mission since Nemsa is the key to the salvation of this world, the liberation of the four Guardians.I just wonder, without entering in more details that could appear as spoilers, if the whole magic (Blood magic mind you) of this rather supernatural story that never really reaches the level of fright we could expect is not devised for the only purpose of wrapping up a lesbian love story. One of the three will have to be sacrificed for the two others to live happily ever after. The daughter will have to kill her own father who will try to kill her several times. That’s not very oedipal since the son should kill the father to possess the mother. This twist in the psychoanalytical fabric of our culture is surprising since most of the time the feminine version of the Oedipus complex is seen in many TV series as the daughter killing the mother to possess the father, the Elektra complex of Freud. And the mother having been killed by the father this killing of the father becomes a vengeance and the daughter is plaqued into compensating the absence of her mother with a mother substitute in the shape of an older woman who has taken care of her in the human world and a young woman to be her lover.That sounds slightly easy going, maybe light-hearted too. But there are some very good pages on love even though love is only described as something hormonal even if it is identified as some fire in one’s heart, something that is supposed to happen only once in one’s life, though here it happens twice for Xenthia. The description of this love is at times poetic but it is always shown as, in one lover, some flowing substance, matter or virtual waves flowing into and merging with the similar flowing substance, matter or virtual waves flowing from the other lover into the first one. In fact, Nemsa only really experience one mental problem in this love affair: her fear, hatred and anger at the fact her lover had told her a lie to engage her on the mission of seducing her father to bring him to the point of releasing the four Guardians, though she knew from the very start that was a lie.That’s where I find these surreal characters in this supernatural world kind of fairylike, I mean straight out of a fairy tale à la Brothers Grimm, bleak, tense, cruel, inhuman, in many ways insensitive. That does not prevent the rather rich imaginative story with plenty of twists and knots in the plot that makes the result unescapable but at the same time unpredictable in its development. Welcome then to the saving of the world by three women from the nasty climate change killing our universe brought up to us by the anger, vanity and pride of one single male character. Let these three women save the world from its perdition.Dr. Jacques COULARDEAU

I was surprised, and a bit disappointed when I understood that I was near the end of the book and of the story. I thought that the bond between Carmel and Sharif was going to slowly develop. And that we were going to discover why Carmel's mother was prevented to find her daughter, although I have suspicions (I don't say more, I don't want to spoil the story for future readers).The ending is a bit too much like a fairy tale. But, as usual with Jean Grainger, the writing is good, the characters well described. And maybe she will write a follow up, that would be nice. Carmel deserves it. So, Jean, please, don't keep us waiting....

J'ai trouvé ce petit manuel d'écriture très peu utile. L'auteur décompose la structure «idéale» d'une œuvre de fiction en plusieurs parties différentes qui «doivent» se produire à des endroits précis (25%, deuxième moitié du deuxième acte, etc.). Elle utilise ensuite des exemples de livres bien connus (mais aussi films) pour démontrer que cette structure secrète est ce qui rend le travail convaincant. Je suis peut-être en minorité, mais ma nature se rebelle, par principe, à la notion d'écriture par numéros.Je soutiens l'analyse et l'application de la structure pour susciter l'intérêt pour le récit, mais gardons un peu de liberté artistique dans le processus. Après tout, l'écriture est censée être une entreprise créative.

J'ai dévoré le premier livre "The Chosen Ones". Le thème, les personnages, leurs aventures, tout était très bien pensé et écrit. Ce second livre, je l'attendais avec impatience pour connaitre la suite des aventures de Jane et Thane. J'ai été déçu par ce second opus: je n'ai pas trouvé le thème de cette histoire aussi interessante, j'y ai même trouvé des longueurs. Quand à la tension amoureuse entre Thane et Jane, je l'ai trouvé trop fluctuante.Une lecture agréable, mais pas prenante comme pour le premier livre.I'd really loved the first book "The Chosen Ones". The characters, the theme, the plots, all made a fantastic book I couldn't put down. As much as I was looking forwards to this second book, I've been disappointed with it. The plot was uninteresting, too easy. Even the relationship between Thane and Jane wasn't as deep as in the first one. It still was a nice reading.

If you like suspense and detective stories you will like this book. You also have to be aware there is a slightly science-fictional environment with flying cars and a few other things of the type. Back to the Future has always been a strong inspiration to a whole generation.The central core of the story is a lot more interesting than flying saucers, oops, sorry, flying cars. And that element is directly borrowed from the mind of Fox Mulder and his X files. Another unavoidable inspiration of a whole generation. Some people, in rare blood lines, are empathic, that is to say they can read the emotions of other people directly in their minds. That’s rather banal. Empathy has become a very strong emotion and behavior in our modern world. Isn’t Harry Potter the supreme empathic wizard?But these blood lines can cross and they can produce once in several life’s times, or is it several lives’ time, one harpy who is not only empathic but can control and command the emotions of other people. They are power hungry and not power freaks because they have the means of their ambition. So imagine such a harpy in Texas and you will have the recipe of a dramatic event. We of course know by heart the two occasions Shakespeare quoted such female beings in The Tempest III, iii, 50-54 (the lines apparently change from one edition to another of the play):ALONSO I will stand to and feed,Although my last – no matter, since I feelThe best is past. Brother, my lord the Duke,Stand to, and do as we. Thunder and lightning.(Enter Ariel, like a harpy,claps his wings upon the table, and, with a quaintdevice, the banquet vanishes.)and in Much Ado About Nothing II, i, 221-228 (the lines apparently change from one edition to another of the play):BENEDICK Will your grace command me any service to the world’s end? I will go on the slightest errand now to the Antipodes that you can devise to send me on. I will fetch you a toothpicker now from the furthest inch of Asia, bring you the length of Prester John’s foot, fetch you a hair off the great Cham’s beard, do you any embassage to the Pygmies, rather than hold three words' conference with this harpy. You have no employment for me?The challenge is then for an empathic detective to lead the way against that harpy and defeat her, with a little help from some Europol police-people (a man and a woman like the Detective and his partner, a man and a woman: let’s be diversity addicts and proponents) from The Hague, The Netherlands. They will also need the troops of the local Russian mafia (only men on this side) and that will enable the Russian Mafioso to air his anti-European feeling:“Never trust a Central European, Detective. Never trust a Southern, Eastern, or Northern one either. Just don’t trust Europeans. They are untrustworthy. But Central Europeans are the worst.”If you don’t believe this Russian, just check in your daily press and find out about Brexit. Do not forget the British are Europeans at first sight, Farage willing or not willing. They used lies, fake arguments, unwarranted menaces, plain psychological blackmailing to carry a referendum that has no constitutional or legal value since for it to become something like a reality, Parliament has to appoint a new Prime Minister, who has to be the new leader of the Conservative Party who has not yet been appointed, the main pro-Brexit Conservative personality, Boris Johnwon, refusing to be the appointee. Then Parliament will have to repeal the 1971 act that authorized the United Kingdom to join the European Union, but only once the new government is instated by Parliament, and in the meantime the Scots will have probably decided to step down from the United Kingdom with the Queen of Scotland having to decide if she wants to remain the Queen of this seceding Scotland while she would be the Queen of England at the same time.You see when Western Europeans try to trust Central, Eastern, Northern and Southern Europeans, they are in a real mess. I guess the cherry on the pie or the ice cream of the pie à la mode with vanilla ice cream on top, though under the topping cherry, is the real epilogue, or end, of the novel. I will not tell, but keep in mind that Western European can only be found in the British Isles, and Ireland is not British at all, hence not part of Western Europe. The Europol representatives from The Hague who speak French or Flemish, also known as Walloon or Dutch, are the most perverse and treacherous European beings who have little to do with humaneness, humanity, or any serious religion, though the Flemish woman is a Lutheran.But there is some light in this perversion. Just beg for Russian help against these mischievous and treacherous Europeans. You will get there people of one word only, theirs, and they can keep it, because obviously the Russians are not Europeans. Stalin had cleaned up these blood lines of monstrous harpies (“harpy: fabulous monster, rapacious and filthy, having a woman's face and body and a bird's wings and claws, supposed to be a minister of divine vengeance.” A Shakespeare Glossary, C. T. Onions. Oxford. Clarendon Press. 1911). And what’s more Hitler could have been, would have been, should have been and probably was a male harpy, a transgender harpy, horror and calamity!Maybe slightly extreme, but there is no pleasure in moderation and limitation. Extremism is the salt of the earth in literature and I must admit this story flirts and woos with extremism. Thank you, author, for a few hours of pleasure.Dr Jacques COULARDEAU

Longue attente, normale pour des colis en provenance du japon (très bien empaquetés, avec des inscriptions en japonais qui ont réjouis mon gamin) mais quelle joie à la réception le même jour des 2 commandes pourtant faites à deux dates différentes (proches).

Produit reçu rapidement, en excellent état, et parfaitement protégé.Tout d'abord, l'édition est magnifique. Pour un si petit récit, on aurait pu penser qu'ils allaient faire quelque chose de basique, mais non ! Pas du tout. Bon, je reste un peu déçu de ne pas avoir reçu la couverture en noir et blanc surmontée du belle jaquette couleur, mais si j'avais lu correctement la description, j'aurais vu qu'il n'y a pas de jaquette. Passons.Concernant l'histoire, je crois que cette histoire a fait un peu l'unanimité. Je l'avais lue en scans à sa sortie, et relue encore une fois depuis. Je l'ai déjà relue deux fois depuis que je l'ai reçu. Le récit et les dessins sont remarquables et réussissent tout ce qu'ils entreprennent avec une précision exemplaire. Un bien bel ouvrage pour relancer univers DC qui ne plaisait plus beaucoup aux fans (New 52). On est à l'opposé total du dernier crossover "blockbuster-popcorn" des New 52 : DARKSEID WAR (que j'avais également apprécié pour son esprit blockbuster explosif comme bouquet final). Non ici, on a l'impression de vraiment retrouver nos personnages avant qu'ils n'aient été changés par le Flashpoint. Pourtant, ce sont exactement les mêmes que dans les New 52, mais l'ambiance du récit et son thème, ses dessins, et sa façon de raconter l'histoire, nous renvoie dans le passé à l'époque des grandes histoires comme par exemple IDENTITY CRISIS, mais avec une touche de modernité et surtout une grosse louche d'émotions.

Gold Star Award Winner!Stories about the Afterlife have always appealed to me. There are thousands upon thousands of interpretations out there about what, exactly, happens to a person after they die. ELSEWHERE is a new spin on an old topic, but it manages to bring emotion, realism, and entertainment to something that is, in most circumstances, a very depressing situation. To me, ELSEWHERE is a combination of Mitch Ablom's THE FIVE PEOPLE YOU MEET IN HEAVEN and Alice Sebold's THE LOVELY BONES, two other wonderful books dealing with death and the Afterlife. ELSEWHERE goes beyond those two books, however, taking readers on a journey into a land so much like Earth, and yet so very, very different.Fifteen-year-old Elizabeth "Liz" "Lizzie" Marie Hall has found herself in ELSEWHERE after dying in a bicycle-meets-taxi accident. After taking a long ride on the SS Nile, Liz has finally realized that she's not in a dream after all, but really, truly dead. When she arrives on Elsewhere, she meets her maternal grandmother, Betty, for the very first time. A woman who died at fifty from breast cancer, Betty is now a woman in her thirties. One of the first surprises Liz is in for is the fact that, on Elsewhere, lives are lived backwards from the age of a person's death. Needless to say, this thought depresses Liz. She'll never be sixteen, never have a Massachusetts driver's license, never go to the prom or graduate from high school or go to college or get married. The only thing she has to look forward to is growing younger, until she returns to being an infant and is sent back to Earth to be born again.Liz spends her first month on Elsewhere spending all of her time--and her grandmother's eternims, the currency used there--to watch her family, friends, and classmates back on Earth. She's soon a regular at the OD's, or Observation Decks, watching life on Earth pass her by. She's upset that her best friend, Zooey, didn't attend her funeral. Her parents are inconsolable, her younger brother, Alvy, tells jokes to get through the day, and her dog, Lucy, refuses to accept that Liz isn't coming back.It takes awhile, but Liz finally realizes that spending hours upon hours at the OD's is not helping her adjust to life on Elsewhere. She finds a new friend in Owen, one of the detectives in charge of keeping the inhabitants of Elsewhere away from the Well, where contact with people on Earth is possible, but illegal. She once again befriends Thandi, a young girl killed on Earth by a stray bullet, who was her bunkmate on the SS Nile. She gets closer to grandmother Betty, finally takes a job in the Division of Domestic Animals helping recently departed pets find new owners, and seems to be finding a place on Elsewhere.I really loved this story. One of the most delightful things in ELSEWHERE is the animals, especially the dogs. Liz, a natural at the language of Canine, is able to interpret for her four-legged friends, and finally understands everything they have to say. I can't truly imagine aging backwards, but Gabrielle Zevin has managed to create a truly believable story that is realistic, entertaining, and emotional, all at the same time. This is definitely a recommended read, and in all honesty, I would love to visit the land of Elsewhere again in the future.Reviewed by: Jennifer Wardrip, aka "The Genius"

I was very disappointed with this book. I love the Alex Delaware books but this felt contrived. The story line was both over complicated and unrealistic. The characters were without depth and there was no one you could empathize with which basically meant you didn't care what happened to any of them.

Have not read a more introverted novel, than this. Long winded, actionless and without any stimulation or encouragement to reach the end; except for the tantilising prospect of being handsomely rewarded by the final, blockbuster ending that, in an instant, would compensate for all the drudgery that preceded it. Even that did not happen. I feal cheated , left in the lurch and am resentful. Grisham is far, far better than this and should reflect accordingly.

I received a copy of this book in exchange for a honest review.I have to say I was quite surprised by the book. The story begins right on with a mystery of an unknown woman beaten and lost. The support she received from Trevor and Stephen was very surprising and heartwarming.However, the fact that most of the action happened in the ethereal world was a bit confusing and made the whole book a bit strange and lacking some real action. I loved the final scene where we finally understood the whole story and I have to say most of it was totally unexpected.An interesting story to go through.

Shave My SpiderI’ve read each one of Tony’s books as they became available. Every one of them has been enjoyable, entertaining and an excellent read. He is a clever, funny writer who makes you feel as if he’s your best friend!This latest book is his longest – and BEST yet. I’ve just finished reading it and felt as if I was with him and Roo all the way through Asia; enjoying the desolate steppes of Mongolia and the temples of Cambodia. Feeling terrified as he climbed dangerous ascents, forded rivers and got stung in the eye! How I hated China and the poverty of most of its people – and loved the panda!The facts have been well researched and the Slater humour is intact! Superb photos to illustrate each chapter are available on Tony’s website – they just prove how well he describes each place!Can’t wait for the next book – so everyone must buy this one - to fund the next adventure.

I rarely drop book in the middle of reading.Not beacause of writing, personages or story idea, it was all briliant. It’s just that I found out that I don’t like this specific kind of book.It’s really great read for someone who like this genre.. I wanted to read something different than usual, but.. well.. it didn’t work. I stil recommend it, it’s very interesting.

This was a quick little novella, easily read in under a couple hours, yet packed with a lot of thrills. It was so much fun to read a throwback to the early days of Lorne. It almost seems like another lifetime ago for her, but she's always had the spunk I love so much. I'm amazed how Comley just slips back into the catchy dialogue that Lorne and Pete have always had and it's as smooth as ever in this book. I absolutely devoured this book but was sad to see it come to an end. I'll just have to wait for the next in the series.

C'était bien, mais cela reste un peu superficiel. Rien à voir avec l'efficacité de "Mes secrets d'écrivain" (Write away en anglais) d'Elizabeth George. La lecture en reste cependant plaisante, avec des extraits de ses romans, mais comme le sous-titre l'annonce : "How I write sex scenes" c'est plus un regard personnel sur sa façon d'envisager l'écriture qu'une leçon d'écriture en elle-même.
