![]() ![]() The manner through which this occurs is far from traditional and one of the more original interpretations of vampirism that I’ve read. Where The Strain seemed to focus on the vampires in a more scientific light The Fall serves to restore much of their otherworldly characteristics. Sure, Satrakian believes that there is some hope in form of an ancient text (festooned with silver making in anathema to vampires) but even that hope is slim. ![]() Rest assured this is a dark novel, there is very little hope and our heroes seem to be fighting more out of stubborn resolve than any real belief that they can over come The Master. ![]() The primary focus of The Fall is the rapid destruction of human society as a direct result of The Master’s machinations. As it turns The Master’s plan doesn’t just encompass New York but the world as cities worldwide receive planes full of dead passengers as New York did at the start of The Strain. Unfortunately they are a resistance with its back to the wall. Abraham Satrakian, Ephraim Goodweather, and the exterminator Vasily form the core of the resistance against the rising vampire population. New York is sliding further and further into chaos, rioters run rampant, people are disappearing, and the authorities (local or otherwise) are at a loss for what to do. The Fall, second book in a planned trilogy, takes place bare moments after the end of The Strain. I read and enjoyed The Strain ( as did my friend Val) last year but this time out I nabbed the audiobook version of its sequel The Fall. The Fall by Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan ![]() ![]() ![]() I was expecting this to pale in comparison to "The Opposite." because I had set a bar for my summer reading based on that book. And both learned a lot about themselves and their families. Both women made decisions and took risks that fell outside the patterns of the lives they were used to leading. Both were focused on their work and had beautiful red-headed sisters who are luckier in love. Having come off the heels from reading "The Opposite of Me," I was able to make some comparisons between Cat and Lindsey (from the previous novel). How easy is that for beach reading material?!? However, there's so much more to this book. Kristin Harmel gives us a cute and romantic story that takes place in Italy. I started "Italian for Beginners" with the expectation that it would be a light beach read. ![]() ![]() ![]() When the Scarabae see news stories of a murderous black-haired girl, they know who's responsible. She has already learned how to kill, but not how to cover her tracks. Ruth cold-bloodedly removes them from the world. The people she seeks shelter with are often cruel or warped. Here, they lick their wounds, but bizarrely appear to be growing younger. Yet where else does she belong? The Scarabae relocate to London, and roost within a baroque old mansion. She is one of them but still can't feel that she is. Rachaela, Ruth's mother, trails listlessly with the survivors of the Scarabae. Scarabae must breed with Scarabae, but Ruth was a tragically misjudged experiment. ![]() Most are dead at the hands of Ruth, a child created through incest with the purpose of repopulating this ageing branch of the family. The Scarabae, a mysterious family, who are not entirely human, have been forced to leave the burned ruins of their reclusive home in a remote part of England. ![]() ![]() Titles that have available audiobooks will show up for purchase with the book listing on our site!įind and listen to audiobooks on Libro.fm's iOS and Android apps!

The city of Palm Springs is proud of that bumper sticker. It is the shiny yellow bumper sticker I have pasted to the top of the middle mirror. The most important part of this little table is not the creamy whiteness of the smooth top, not the cascades of carefully handmade ruffles, not even the three revealing mirrors. ![]() For sixteen years, I’ve watched myself grow up in those mirrors and sometimes when I peer intently into them, I can swear I not only see the outside of me, but the inside as well the soul of me that no one can see - but me. ![]() I made the skirt a long time ago, all by hand, long before my mother bought our sewing machine that does everything.Īttached to the vanity are three mirrors hinged together and when tipped a certain way, I can see three of myself from three different angles.

Read moreĪt a delinquents’ home, Jane Marple investigates an unknown threat, at the behest of an old friend. “They do it with mirrors.” Of course, there are also the village parallels that make Miss Marple such a discerning judge of character. Miss Marple uses excellent deductive reasoning in figuring out what must have happened. But which one? The spoiled granddaughter, her sullen American husband, the daughter with a chip on her shoulder, one of the stepsons from the second marriage, or one of the many troubled inmates?I have a soft spot for this book since it was the first of Agatha Christie’s novels I read many years ago. One member of the household must have viewed the goings-on in the locked room as a distraction to cover the murder. The murder occurred while the household feared another was taking place in a locked room. Miss Marple’s presence isn’t enough to avert the murder of Carrie Louise’s stepson from her first marriage. ![]() Miss Marple agrees to accept an invitation to stay with Carrie Louise should she offer an invitation, and she soon finds herself ensconced at Stonygates, the estate where Carrie Louise and her third husband rehabilitate juvenile delinquents. At a reunion with a friend from her youth, Jane Marple learns that her friend is very worried about her sister, Carrie Louise, whom Miss Marple hasn’t seen in decades. ![]() |
