Hush hush book 45/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Nora is now the leader of the Nephilim’s army and must lead them to war against the fallen angels. Silence left Nora and Patch united under difficult circumstances. Finale delivers on this, if not right away. ![]() It did an interesting job setting up with what could lead to an epic ending. I thought it had a great story and an irresistible male lead (Oh how I love you, Patch!). I picked up Hush Hush this past summer and enjoyed it, along with its sequels Crescendo and Silence. If you thought the three previous Hush Hush books were crazy, well, be prepared for Finale, the last installment of the Hush Hush saga. ![]() This review contains NO spoilers on Finale though. Note: If you haven’t read any of the Hush Hush books, this review has spoilers. ![]()

Midnight kiss by robyn carr5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() "I'm not really in the mood for a New Year's Eve bash, Uncle Nate," she said. Exactly one year ago at this time she was having her hair and makeup done right before slipping into a Vera Wang wedding gown, excited, blushing and oblivious to the fact that her fiance Glen was getting blitzed and ready to run for his life. And if the hurt wasn't bad enough, her heart had gone cold and hard, too. Maybe it was cute when she was four or even fourteen to say things like "Sunny isn't too sunny today!"īut this was December 31 and she had come to Virgin River to spend a few quiet days with her uncle Nate and his fiancee Annie, to try to escape the reality of a heart that wouldn't heal. "C'mon, sunshine, you gotta be more flexible! Optimistic! You can't lick this wound forever." In Virgin River? A town of about six hundred?"Ah, I think I'll pass." "Let's go out on the town and see if we can't put a little of that legendary sunshine back into your disposition!" "Come on, Sunny," her uncle Nathaniel said. Sunny Archer was seriously considering a legal name change. ![]()

Clockwork Angels by Kevin J. Anderson5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() I honestly loved the way this book was written. It is of a magical “steampunk” world that includes the precision of Watchmakers and the maelstrom of Anarchists, pirates and fantastic carnivals. He decides to tell the story of the adventures of his youth near the end of his days. Owen Hardy has lived a full and orderly life, but has always dreamed of what worlds lay just beyond. The mind-bending story is complemented with rich paintings by the five-time Juno Award winner for Best Album Design, Hugh Syme. ![]() He travels across a lavish and colorful world of steampunk and alchemy with lost cities, pirates, anarchists, exotic carnivals, and a rigid Watchmaker who imposes precision on every aspect of daily life. In a young man’s quest to follow his dreams, he is caught between the grandiose forces of order and chaos. The newest album by Rush, Clockwork Angels, sets forth a story in Neil Peart’s lyrics that has been expanded by him and Anderson into this epic novel. Anderson and the multiplatinum rock band Rush. A remarkable collaboration that is unprecedented in its scope and realization, this exquisitely wrought novel represents an artistic project between the bestselling science fiction author Kevin J. ![]()

The KHAN by E.B. Warren5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() Out of the docked ligands, Ertapenem ( 2396) showed an ideal binding mode like that of the co-crystallized ligand ( SAM). Therefore, the 26 compounds were docked against 2′OMTase to reveal the potential inhibitory effect of seven promising compounds (Protirelin, ( 1187), Calcium folinate ( 1913), Raltegravir ( 1995), Regadenoson ( 2176), Ertapenem ( 2396), Methylergometrine ( 2532), and Thiamine pyrophosphate hydrochloride ( 2612)). Then, a structural similarity experiment recommended 26 compounds. At the beginning, molecular fingerprints experiment with SAM ( S-Adenosylmethionine), the co-crystallized ligand of the targeted enzyme, unveiled the resemblance of 147 drugs. The in silico inhibitory potential of the examined compounds against SARS-CoV-2 nsp16-nsp10 2′- o-methyltransferase (PDB ID: (6W4H) was conducted through a multi-step screening approach. As a continuation of our earlier work against SARS-CoV-2, seven FDA-approved drugs were designated as the best SARS-CoV-2 nsp16-nsp10 2′- o-methyltransferase (2′OMTase) inhibitors through 3009 compounds. ![]()

Alanna by Tamora Pierce5/29/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() This series follows Daine, a young orphan who has always had a way with animals that made people believe she was a bit funny, until a young mage named Numair recognizes that her abilities are a rare form of wild magic and that she can communicate with all creatures. I recommend starting with the Song of the Lioness Quartet: When beginning your journey, you have two series to choose between as your entry point: The Legend of Beka Cooper, or the Song of the Lioness Quartet. But never fear! As someone who is a believer of the religion of Tortall and is the first acolyte of the Lady Knight, I am more than happy to offer some direction. And that’s where things can get confusing-with so many different books and series, it’s hard to know where to start. Since the publication of the Song of the Lioness Quartet, Pierce has written nearly twenty novels set in her Tortall universe. It’s set in Tortall, a kingdom populated with lords and ladies, knights and sorcerers, and where few people are lucky enough to possess magical Gifts. That book was Alanna: The First Adventure, and despite the hokey title, it changed my life.Īlanna: The First Adventure is the first in the Song of the Lioness Quartet by Tamora Pierce, a fierce, feminist fantasy series published in 1983. I was eleven when I picked up a book with a redhead and a horse on the cover, thinking it looked sorta cool. ![]()

Trillium by jeff lemire5/29/2023 ![]() The story of the Incan goddess, who is split in two and seeds the world with plants, weighs against Nika’s own surprising ingestion of the plant meant to save the human race. There’s no question in my mind Lemire succeeds on this count, as the first chapter is both intriguing and full of fascinating parallels that already beg for dissection. Not graced with the long form of Sweet Tooth - one of my personal favorite post-apocalyptic tales that ran forty issues - or the done-in-one bang of a graphic novel like last year’s exceptional Underwater Welder, the writer needs to come out of the gate running and hook us immediately into this brave new (or old, as the case may be) world. Lemire has a bold task ahead of him with Trillium to get readers involved and invested in what is planned as a finite eight-issue mini-series. ![]() Do you follow the man or do you follow the woman? Do you unceasingly search for the past or do you desperately rush to save the future? And at the center of it all is a single plant that could hold the key to illumination, salvation… even love. ![]() A story told in parallel, with one protagonist from the far future and one from nearly one hundred years hence, Trillium opens with a choice. ![]()
