When people around her begin to die, she realizes she has stumbled onto something she is not meant to know, a terrifying secret from which there is no turning back. But when her young brother is struck down by a bizarre and mysterious illness, Renie swears to save him. Renie Sulaweyo, a teacher and the backbone of her family, proud of her African heritage, has fought all her life simply to get by. But every age has its heroes, and unusual times call for unusual champions: Fewer still are willing or able to take up the challenge of this perilous and seductive realm. Only a few have become aware of the danger. And somehow, bit by bit, it is claiming the Earth's most valuable resource -its children. The best minds of two generations have labored to build it. Incredible amounts of money have been lavished on it. Surrounded by secrecy, it is home to the wildest dreams and darkest nightmares. “Tad Williams is the brightest and best of the fantasists.” ―Neil Gaiman, author of American Gods Now in trade paperback, the first book in the classic cyberpunk fantasy series

Now, I’ve seen it and…While I didn’t hate it, I didn’t so much enjoy it either. Even with that, I was 100% on board with this British Christmas rom-com. And this was even after I saw the trailer in August and (as it turns out) correctly sussed out the movie’s twist, down to the last detail. I say all this as a preface to note how in the tank for Last Christmas I was, going in. Plus, Emma Thompson is my imaginary celebrity BFF-the one I know I’d love in real life, were we ever to meet. I’ve never seen Game of Thrones (yep, we’re the ones), but I absolutely adore Henry Golding, believe he’s one of the most charming actors working today, and think A Simple Favor is egregiously under-rated. I admit it contains multiple manifestly disturbing and/or ridiculous elements, but, despite all that, and the fact I’ve seen it, roughly, 999 times, I still cry like a baby every single time. It is a film that engenders relatively strong opinions, and is loathed by as many as it’s loved. My favorite Christmas movie is Love, Actually. Where to Watch?: For now, only your local cinema The sweet taboo of being submissive to the man in even the smallest things. The shivering thrill of surrendering to Brand. And quickly takes Ash in hand.Įven if by day Ash has to project authority, leadership, and night he's discovering the breathless pleasure of giving up control. Domineering and controlling, Brand quickly puts Ash's life in order. Icy, detached, nearly twice Ash's age, the massive monolith of a British valet is impossible to deal with and like no servant Ash has ever met. And Brand Forsythe is the only man to catch him. He's spent his entire adult life playing fast and loose with his life and his loves, but when he's dragged into a position of responsibility with the fate of the company on his shoulders, he goes spinning into freefall. At 23 years old, he's suddenly the head of a multibillion dollar global corporation he is in no way equipped to run. When Elsa Quinn transferred to Elite, she was prepared for this. And most the time, rich kids equal to bitches and jerks and snobs who will make other student’s life a nightmare just because they feel entitled to. Basically, this school teaches to the future ministers, businessmen, and so on that will rule the society of the future. Like I said, we’re in London, in a prestigious high school, Royal Elite, where the daughters and sons of wealthy people go to study. Being Italian also made it felt closer to where I am, especially because the guys in the series play football and they are Arsenal fans like me. Plus, being a master degree student specializing in English language and especially British English and literature, I loved that it was set in one of the countries I like the most. This series is set in London, and considering I always read books set in the US (many of the authors I follow are American) this is a great thing because I find very few titles set in the UK. And it’s an interesting cliffy, but I suggest you read for yourself and get into the world of the Royal Elite. Anyway, this book was totally worth it and I already picked up the second one (it’s a trilogy) because this one ends with a cliffhanger. Sometimes I fear that the books of the moment could disappoint me if I give in and read it, but maybe luck was in my favor this time as well. This is yet another book I started reading because I saw it often on my Goodreads feed and on the TOP 100 Besteller list on Amazon.
