![]() Time is running out–will Piper, used to putting everyone else first, learn to fight for what–and who– she wants? They are cold, ruthless and will stop at nothing to achieve their twisted ends. Then an old terror appears from Levi's past–a serial killer everyone had believed was dead. The whole thing is like a bad dream–and Piper knows all about them since she's a Nightmare, a demon with the ability to trap people in their worse memories forever. Neither Piper nor Levi are used to needing anyone, the crackling attraction between them is making both their demons crazy and to make matters worse, Piper's narcissistic stepsister is Levi's ex–and she's not ok with the situation. But it's not until her psyche brushes his in an unguarded moment that they both realise: they are anchors. ![]() With his broad, muscular frame and gunmetal grey gaze he makes a statement without saying a word. ![]() He's the kind of man who it's impossible to ignore. ![]()

![]() ![]() But it is always roses, always red, and always perfect hothouse blooms when they can come by them.' Flowers are a good thing, a sweet thing to give a lady. 'Roses! I swear you men have all your romance from the same worn book. Gift this one only when you are absolutely sure about your love. ![]() It is supposed that your love is only as deep as the colour of the Red Rose. This one is not to be played around with. As we mentioned that different colours stand for different emotions, read which emotion along with the Rose you would like to gift.Ī Red Rose, in all honesty, stands for true love. To gift a Rose is more than just gifting a flower. Their fragrance and colour are so robust that it is bound to evoke a range of emotions.Ī lover's delight, a friend's paradise and a colleagues gratitude, various colours of Roses stand strong for different emotions. They are an inspiration to writers like Shakespeare, romantics like John Keats, singers like Bon Jovi, painters like Henri Fantin-Latour and lovers like Romeo and Juliet. Since Robert Burns sang : 'My luve's like a red, red rose', Roses became an integral part of everything emotional. ![]() Scientifically known as, Rosa, Roses are not just flowers, they are muses. ![]() ![]() ![]() Even when comparing her cannibalistic urges to the witch from “Hansel and Gretel”, Baba Yaga seems less bloodthirsty, and more testing. She is, to a degree I mean she has a taste for young flesh, but there is something about her that defies easy classification. All that said, to call her evil isn’t quite right. She is old, ugly, tough as nails in boots, and doesn’t take crap from anyone. If it, then she is tied with the White Queen from Narnia. I can see a sequel to this book being quite good.īaba Yaga is perhaps the most famous witch outside of Oz. It's nice to be reminded that a novel doesn't have to be perfect in any way in order to offer a very worthwhile experience. It's a book in which a heroine is struggling at home, for good reason, and goes off on a sort of epic quest. Somehow the registers seem a bit mixed and not fully formed, but that's okay, too. I am talking about the ending, which I won't go into here, but I will say, I really appreciated. ![]() The reason I am giving it four stars (oh rating systems, how ambivalent I feel when you are near) is because it does something that I rarely find other books doing. And that it values the resourcefulness of the protagonist and presents Baba Yaga as a delightfully complex character. I love, though, that it is trying to bring folklore into the present moment. This book is fairly clunky and puppy-ish (awkward? almost feels like an early draft of something) and for at least the first half, doesn't quite come together. ![]() ![]() ![]() This is all a means of saying that even though Lazarus: Risen #1 is a a new #1 issue, it’s set in a thoroughly explored world during what seems like not-quite the midway point of a long story. All told, that’s about 34 incredible issues of content, plus some other supplemental material with more information that help support a Lazarus RPG. ![]() ![]() To date, there have been 28 issues of Lazarus in the main series, plus a six-issue auxiliary series titled Lazarus: X+66, which fills in the gaps of side characters and the story’s broader world over the course of a 12-month period. All in all, this is one of the smartest and most compulsively readable comics on the market, a must-read for any fan of the medium. The world is so well-built, the characters compelling and complex, the dilemmas they face suspenseful. I recently re-read the entire series, and once I got about mid-way through the second volume, I almost literally could not put it down. By Zack Quaintance - I really don’t think it’s possible to heap enough praise atop writer Greg Rucka and artist Michael Lark’s immersive dystopian near-future comic epic, Lazarus. ![]() ![]() He has curling ram horns, goat-like features, long white beard, yellow eyes with an hourglass pupil. He told Dresden that he personally admired the young wizard, and had wished to avoid the fight altogether if possible, but will still fight to kill Dresden, albeit with great regret, since it was his queen's order.Īccording to Harry Dresden, Eldest Gruff is about five foot high, five foot two at the most. He wears a robe with a cowl pulled down. Eldest was also the most personable of the Gruffs, willing to speak with Harry Dresden on normal terms and even giving him the chance to recover before their fight. However, he is also the smallest of his family. He is the eldest of the Gruff brothers, and also the most powerful. Wearing several stoles of the Senior Council, Eldest Gruff appears to be an incredibly powerful individual, who disposed of Magog within seconds. ![]() ![]() ![]() Now I'm going to break down why this volume isn't a great start for a new series. I feel a lot of the reviews on this series are bias because they either are a fan of Ishida's Tokyo Ghoul or just wants to join on the hype just like they did with Yusei Matsui's The Elusive Samurai series when people used to pretend to like that series on Goodreads a lot more. I'm disappointed with volume 1 of Chojin X and the thing is I was actually expecting the story to be this bad but I still pushed on reading the story whenever Shonen Jump's app would update the chapters. and read in 2021 in May.Įdited for grammar and update on the story. And I'm going to enjoy every second of it. This is going to be such a wild, weird story, for sure. The art, as always, is super impressive and beautiful. Still, it was a pretty okay start! That doesn't mean it was bad. And I feel we're going to see that in this manga. I love characters who are kinda weak and don't know how to control their powers at the beginning who become these amazing, hardcore powerful monsters. It's harder to root for a character you barely know so I'm excited to know more about Choujin X's Tokio. Especially the emotions he was going through while this big change in his life was happening. ![]() Tokyo Ghoul had Kaneki Ken, a character we could easily relate to. So, when I was told he was releasing a new story with monsters and action-packed scenes, I was game. ![]() Tokyo Ghoul is my comfort read and it's still one of my all-time favorite even years after being over. ![]() ![]() What if you switched bodies with someone of the.

Predictably, reuniting with Stewart isn't the answer to Maddie's problems, and tension rises as both teens' resolve to stay sober shows signs of weakening. "It's so weird being straight," Maddie thinks. Meanwhile, she battles loneliness and isolation at her high school where her earlier drunken escapades earned her the nickname "Mad Dog Maddie," and her old friends pressure her to start using again. After returning home, 16-year-old Maddie counts the days until Stewart's release, hoping they can take up where they left off.
