Keira struggles to find a job and prefers to play Warcross all day. She loses her bounty for the day and returns home to play the virtual reality game Warcross with her roommate Keira who is unemployed. Due to the recent spike in crime in NYC, Emika has little trouble finding bounties but faces stiff competition from other bounty hunters. Emika worries a great deal about her debts because she remembers how her father struggled to pay off his gambling debts before he died. Worried about paying her rent and faced with an eviction notice, Emika works as a bounty hunter in order to earn the reward associated with her bounty. Lu begins the novel by following Emika on essentially what is a typical day in her life. She is the novel's first-person narrator. The novel follows 18-year-old Emika Chen from the Bronx to Tokyo. Marie Lu's novel Warcross is divided into 31 chapters, charting the course of how the protagonist got involved in the Warcross Championship to the Championship's completion. The following version of this book was used to create the guide: Lu, Marie. Filled with murder, adultery, violence, and goodness knows what else, it escalated Zola’s name within society. Published in 1867, its content shocked nineteenth-century readers, and if I’m brutally honest, I can completely understand why. Actually, I would probably recommend this novel as a good introduction to his work – it’s short and easy to read, but is also gritty and detailed. The book is not part of the Rougon-Macquart series and therefore stands alone, but I still thoroughly enjoyed it. I t’s been a while since I read any Zola (despite my best efforts to do so!) I loved L’Assommoir and his style of writing overall so, to be honest, it was inevitable how I was going to feel about this novel! Thérése Raquin is one of Zola’s shorter novels which is why it’s so amazing how much content he is able to squeeze into around 190 pages. I had wanted to for so long, but honestly thought that it might fall short for me. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart? My Review Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away? Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track.Ĭolton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it… Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. Related Posts: Mega Alphas, Bad Boys, 2014 Favorites.All the right ingredients in just the right amounts to keep me hooked from beginning to end. Undeniably Alluring.Ĭolton and Rylee’s story is the perfect balance of alphaness, steaminess and realness. The novel seems to skim through all of these struggles, small and large, personal and historical. But this experience takes up little more than 10 pages, and then Andreas returns home. Andreas spends two months as a soldier and eight years as a prisoner of war in Russia. Before that, though, there is the second world war to contend with. Later, television and tourists arrive, too, as Andreas looks on. Modernity arrives in the form of the cable cars that Andreas helps to erect on the side of the mountain. Similarly, Andreas is swept along by the major moments of the 20th century. The snow sweeps Andreas along in its flow. Andreas does fall in love, marry, and lose his wife to a devastating avalanche that wrecks their home. This slim novel relies less on the engine of a plot than on the lyricism of its own poetry. Left with a bad limp-a vestige of a particularly bad beating-Andreas still wrests his living from the earth through hard physical labor. Then he goes about scraping together a living. The farmer who takes him in also beats him, and Andreas leaves when he turns 18. In this quiet, serenely powerful novel, a man lives out his life in a remote mountain village as the bulk of the 20th century sweeps past.Īndreas Egger is a small boy, an orphan, when he's brought by horse cart to a small village in the mountains. But we come to really dislike her because she hates London on site. She’s tough on the outside and clearly harbors no love lost or even emotion towards Crewe for reasons that we don’t yet know. He’s got an army of men who protect him, and woman who is his partner, and that term is strictly business. Joseph should have known that trying to pay with counterfeit money wouldn’t go over well, and now London, his sister pays the price for it.Ĭrewe we learn throughout this story is a man with a dark dark past – it takes most of the story to get to the crux of it, but essentially, he feels that his revenge is worth being so hard. As all powerful semi illegal men are in these stories, if you cross him, then you pay with your life or that of someone close to you. In this story we have Crewe, our leading man, a powerful man – who runs a scotch empire sure, but who trades intelligence for a price. They’re intertwined at times, but still quite unique and really dark, seedy and hot. I really do enjoy the worlds that our author Penelope Sky creates for us. Now I’ll take something from him-something irreplaceable.īut even when Joseph doubles the amount of money he owes me, I don’t give her up. He took my intelligence without paying for it. Joseph Ingram made the mistake of stealing from me-four million dollars.

THE WRATH OF BECKY Two years after she escaped a violent attack on her family, Becky (Lulu Wilson) attempts to rebuild her life in the care of an older woman, a kindred spirit named Elena (Denise Burse). In the movie, which imagines how the events could have had rippling repercussions, it’s 23 years later, and Kreischer (playing a version of himself) and his estranged father (Mark Hamill) are kidnapped back to Russia by the mob. THE MACHINE The action comedy stars Bert Kreischer, aka the Machine, a stand-up comedian who rose to fame with a signature bit in which he recounts his true experience with Russian mobsters while on a booze-soaked college trip.

IT AIN’T OVER This documentary about Yogi Berra takes us beyond the caricatures and Yogi-isms and into the heart of a sports legend whose unparalleled accomplishments on the baseball diamond were often overshadowed by his off-the-field persona. The book deals in depth with the career and murder of early Pueblo Mafia leader Pellegrino Scaglia, the long and violent Carlino-D'Anna rivalry, the successful infiltration of the Carlino operation by an undercover federal agent and the Denver police raid that exposed a budding regional bootlegging syndicate. The author's unique perspective helps to fully develop and humanize the book's primary subjects, brothers Pete (the author's grandfather) and Sam, and reveals the often painful impact of their career choices on their extended families. The author deftly tracks the development of the regional crime family before and through the Prohibition Era, revealing its proper place in the national scene, while providing personal insight into his ancestors, who were members and leaders of the organization. Colorado's Carlino Brothers: A Bootlegging Empire (The History Press), is at once an intimate family portrait and a detailed Mafia history. That, of course, sent the business into a tailspin. When he showed up, his dementia was in full force, so all of the C-suite people found out that he was not all there. His dad showed up at the office at a very inopportune time.
