![]() ![]() ![]() I have gone through every book in this series like a lost person in the desert would go through bottles of water! The start is kinda dark, the sex is raw and well explained, with lots of "scary" hurdles and antics along the way and ending with a beautiful HEA! I REALLY DESPERATELY WANT MORE!!! I love that this book goes back to following the original characters because they veered off for a while to their friends and family. ![]() There were a few times that I had to rewind and relisten wondering what I missed because it was clearly a flashback that I didn’t catch onto. ![]() The only thing I wish the editing would have done is made the flashbacks a little easier to decipher. The perfect mix of innocent and coming of age then throw in her ability to narrate the male voice and you can easily stay inside the book and not be pulled out by the narration at all. Ava Erickson is of course a brilliant narrator for the job. The book starts out just this simple but morphs into a book about so much more depravity that you will stunned as the hours tick by. Lake is the good girl who makes the right and good decisions and Kieran is the bad boy who has come to ruin her. Fear Me is where we meet all the characters in this series but is focused on Kieran and Lake. Reid to come to Audible is very exciting. I love dark books and there aren’t nearly enough on audio, so for B.B. I’ve read this series, so the start line is no surprise to me. ![]()

We have mill-owner’s sons rebelling with a spot of ballet, mill-owner’s daughters wantonly playing the cello and mill-owner’s wives demonstrating the noble art of fainting into a small glass of something medicinal from the Orient. The truth about what really happened during the Industrial Revolution is revealed, including full details of that nasty accident with the first half-dozen steam trains, most of the bankers and all of the lawyers.

I love books, and I love the slow process of building a library for The Meatball. ![]() ![]() ![]() The book is ostensibly a manuscript found by a pair of friends on a fishing expedition in the wilds of Ireland in 1877, exactly the kind of framing device that is very common to fantastic fiction of this era. The House on the Borderland holds surprises for a modern audience, as it is at once written in the sort of style one would expect from a turn-of-the-century author, yet with a pace and frantic energy somewhat at odds with the prose. In 1918 he died at the age of 40 - another life cut short by the Great War. It was Hodgson’s second novel, published at age thirty, and over the next ten years he would publish further works of supernatural fiction, sea-adventures, and another major work of cosmic horror, The Night Land. And that influence cannot be more apparent than in The House on the Borderland, a short, strange novel that is nothing less than a minor masterpiece of weird fiction. These days, English author William Hope Hodgson is nearly always mentioned, if he is mentioned at all, as an early influence on H.P. ![]() ![]() Jumping off the dramatic, oversailing roof into the swimming pool was an important rite, one eventually passed down to the Stahls’ grandchildren. The towheaded Stahl kids liked to roller-skate across the concrete floors and got up to the usual youthful japery-setting Barbies afire and the like. For the Stahls, it became the blank screen on which they projected their dreams of a life together, a place to build a future, a family, and a house like no other.Īs the Stahls tell it, the house may have been a modernist glass bubble, but the glass had smudgy handprints all over it. Locals called it Pecker Point, presumably because it was a prime makeout venue. ![]() “This lot was in pure view-every morning, every night,” Carlotta Stahl recalled. It was as conspicuous as it was forbidding, visible from the couple’s house on nearby Hillside Avenue. Back home in L.A., as the newlyweds pondered their future, they became preoccupied with a promontory of land jutting out like the prow of a ship from Woods Drive in the Hollywood Hills, about 125 feet above Sunset Boulevard. ![]() ![]() ![]() They each worked in aviation (Buck in sales, Carlotta as a receptionist), had previous marriages, and were strapping, tall, and extremely good looking-California Apollonians out of central casting. In March 1954, Clarence “Buck” Stahl and Carlotta May Gates drove from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and got married in a chapel. ![]() ![]() Click ‘Customise Cookies’ to decline these cookies, make more detailed choices, or learn more.
