She offers a wide range of intriguing soups and salads, including a gingered turkey meatball soup tomato and berry gazpacho and cauliflower tabbouleh. Hundreds of other recipes are remarkably easy: a cheese and olive quick bread, a three-star chef. There are tastes of her travels as well, such as a Luang Prabang chicken-chili sandwich she ate nightly on a visit to Laos, and a bourbon roasted pork loin inspired by a trip to Kentucky. Around My French Table includes many superb renditions of the great classics: a glorious cheese-domed onion soup, a spoon-tender beef daube, and the top-secret chocolate mousse recipe that every good Parisian cook knowsbut won’t reveal.

While they’re necessary, they’re also feared and frequently lynched. They can quiet earthquakes and quench volcanoes…but also touch them off. ![]() It’s also occupied by a small population of orogenes, people with the ability to sense and manipulate thermal and kinetic energy. The continent ironically known as the Stillness is riddled with fault lines and volcanoes and periodically suffers from Seasons, civilization-destroying tectonic catastrophes. In the first volume of a trilogy, a fresh cataclysm besets a physically unstable world whose ruling society oppresses its most magically powerful inhabitants. ![]() ![]() ![]() Moments where I… yes… *felt* for Caleb, and… I dunno. Moments of utter humiliation, pain and times where I absolutely remembered why I first hesitated recommending book #1 way back when I read it. Don’t get me wrong, there are still moments of absolute horror (in terms of the slave trade and many detailed events). I think it was perhaps easier to read, in the long run. Olivia describes her experience, in detail (and I mean detail!) but there are others there with her, listening to it, and multiple perspectives as the different characters come to life and propel the story forward. While it’s still a “dark” read, it feels almost more human, and more like watching a movie with multiple characters. □Īt first I was slightly disarmed by the change of pace. “… these are not romance novels, but more like psychological thrillers (horror?) with a huge focus on evolving emotions, and heartrending situations…”Īnd love? Well, If you decide to dive in, I’ll let you decide. As I was discussing these (and especially this one) with a friend, I described them pretty much like this: These are very “ dark” reads, so I suggest reading my review of book #1 to get a feel for it. If you haven’t read the first one yet, avoid this review for now. In fact, I think it made book #1 that much better. ![]() Seduced in the Dark (The Dark Duet – book #2)Īn incredible, well-paced sequel to book #1 ( Captive in the Dark), and sorely needed. ![]() MARYSE’S SURPRISE FROM HER FAVORITE BOOK BOYFRIEND’S.ALL MY REVIEWS (ALPHABETICAL BY AUTHOR). ![]() ![]() ![]() "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title. ![]() "Gayle writes the kind of sparkling conversations everybody wishes they were witty enough to have in real life.hugely enjoyable, touching, and funny."
