I loved, no, absolutely adored Drew and Cannon's deep love, that was palpable throughout the whole story. This is a complicated world they live in, their father is a master manipulator - I hated that Cannon's brother had such a hard time to find forgiveness for the man who was used as a puppet by their father when he was a teenager. Not having read the Dirty Billionaire Trilogy I was really mad at Creighton. I was hurting for Cannon when he tried so hard to reconnect with Creighton, his half-sibling, only to be rejected again. It's not what I got but at the end of WHITE KNIGHT Cannon had Dom's respect and I'm A-OK with that. I still don't understand the issue he had with Cannon and I kinda wished for a proper resolution for their complicated relationship. Pretty much every character in this book surprised me to some degree because no one, who is somehow involved with the Casso family, is actually what they seem, even capo Dom Casso, the most ruthless of them all. It starts out with a bang and continues in the same manner. WHITE KNIGHT? Full of them! There are some major developments in the second installment of the Dirty Mafia Duet, which picks up where we left Drew and Cannon. I LOVE when authors can surprise me with their twists.

Carolina Nabuco, a Brazilian author, believed that Daphne du Maurier had plagiarised her novel A Sucessora, although it had only been published in Portuguese at the time. And Mrs Danvers, the housekeeper, was always there to remind her of that.Īccusations of plagiarism were raised regarding the book. While she didn’t know how to deal with the staff nor was she familiar with her husband’s routines, Rebecca seemed to have been perfect. Living in Manderley only amplified her doubts and apprehensions. Being an insecure young woman, she already felt inferior to his deceased first wife, Rebecca. After marrying Maxim de Winter, the unnamed narrator moved with him to his family home, the iconic Manderley. Rebecca is probably her most famous novel and, without a doubt, my favourite so far. This is not the book she is best known for, though. She published her first novel, The Loving Spirit, in 1931. Vivid characters, a gripping prose and a sprinkle of mystery turn her novels into enthralling reads, even if they are not always perfect. It’s not difficult to fall in love with her writing style. Boasting a craggy coast, inspiring coves, sandy beaches and clifftops filled with flowers, the region fits perfectly with her atmospheric stories. Daphne du Maurier may have been born in London in 1907, but it’s Cornwall, where she lived for most of her life and died in 1989, the main setting of several of her books. A Cook's Tour: In Search of the Perfect Meal Bourdain sets off to eat his way around the world. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are unpredictable, as shocking as they are funny. Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly After twenty-five years of 'sex, drugs, bad behaviour and haute cuisine', chef and novelist Anthony Bourdain has decided to tell all. From his first oyster in the Gironde to his lowly position as a dishwasher in a honky tonk fish restaurant in Provincetown from the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop the Rockefeller Center to drug dealers in the East Village, from Tokyo to Paris and back to New York again, Bourdain's tales of the kitchen are as passionate as they are. Out of cash, and with nothing to show her investor – Hendricks Capital – Gabrielle runs the experiment one more time, pushing the equipment to its limit. (Spoiler: it does).Īnyone opens on a farm in Michigan where Gabrielle White’s highly experimental research into a cure for Alzheimer’s, which uses the “language of light” powered by a laser to re-educate the brain, has come to a dead end. I never got around to reading Soule’s debut novel The Oracle Year (published in 2018), but I’ve made an effort to pick up his second book, Anyone, curious to see if the storytelling chops and vibrant imagination evident in his comics translates to prose. I was particularly fond of his creator-owned series, the wildly inventive and gonzo Letter 44 (from Oni Press). I began with Soule’s run on DC’s Swamp Thing and then, when I migrated to Marvel comics, enjoyed his take on Thunderbolts, the Inhumans, and Daredevil. I’ve been avidly reading Charle Soule’s work since I ended my decades-long comics book hiatus in 2011. Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.

To answer your question though, yes, the issues in Cruel Summer and Bad Weekend are new stories not collected in tpb. They could possibly reprint Cruel Summer at a later date in tpb format like they did with My Heroes Have Always Been Junkies, but I don't think they've done that for Bad Weekend yet either.
