![]() Just as in the four Stephenie Meyer novels, we get the two main characters facing mortal danger – in this case narrator Bianca and love interest Lucas are surrounded by vampires who've just set the building they're in on fire. The book's start is so Twilight-esque that it must be intentional. I'm actually thinking that's not a bad idea here – but will try my best to provide a review with as few clues as possible to the twists and turns, just in case two sentences aren't enough to convince you. I'm very tempted to take a tip from my favourite movie critic Roger Ebert who, on occasion, has been known to suggest that you should watch a film then read his review if it's full of twists and hard to describe without spoilers. I'm at a complete loss how to review this book. ![]() Publisher: Harper Collins Children's Books Summary: Superb supernatural romance which initially appears to be a generic Twilight clone, but develops into much, much more. ![]() ![]() ![]() In my book, I wanted to explore the opposite-a woman who initiates the act. ![]() In that case, the man was the one who initiated the act and convinced his wife to go along with it.

It’s the kind of book you immediately want to reread upon finishing it, because you’re compelled to go back and find the small clues that were hiding in plain sight along the way. It’s shocking, fast-paced, and so wonderfully wicked. My Lovely Wife is THE thriller you need to read in 2019. ![]() ![]() Homage to Bradbury with Journey Into Dandelion Wine Country.
