Once they reach Meluha, each member of the tribe is given a medicine which rids them off all illness and confers virtual immortality. He and his tribe are invited by the Meluhans to immigrate into their country, which is peaceful and prosperous, unlike the area where Shiva is from where his tribe is constantly waring with neighboring tribes and struggling for survival. In Immortals of Meluha, one of the main Hindu gods, Shiva, is actually a mortal human and chieftain of a small tribe in Tibet. I am learning a lot about Hindu mythology, although I am not sure what is part of the standard mythology and what is the novel’s own invention. The novel is a pretty good read though and definitely a look at the world through a non-western lens. Knox was there, too, but he was injured and doesn't remember what happened. Things are quiet and then news breaks that Brandon, a kid who is a jock and kind of a jerk, has died from an accident at a construction site. Her secret, that she dumped her best friend Knox because he couldn't get it up, is revealed. Her secret, that she slept with her older sister Emma's (a senior) boyfriend is soon revealed. Phoebe (a junior) is selected as the first player. No reply defaults to "Truth" (and the advice Unknown gives is to "always take the Dare.") "Truth" means a secret about you is revealed to everyone. Unknown will pick one person at a time for a round of "Truth or Dare". The students at Bayview High get a group text from an unknown number ("Unknown") about a new Game. In Part I, this book (Book #2) starts about eighteen months after the events of One Of Us Is Lying (Book #1). So feel free to just jump into Book #2 even if your memory is fuzzy.) That said, that this book, One of Us Is Next (Book #2), really does recaps anything you need to know from the previous book. (By the way, if you need to catch up on the first book, see here for a full summary of One of Us is Lying (Book #1). Willis describes blink-of-an-eye vaccine development and immediate lockdown measures as though any other response would be unthinkable. Willis underscores a poignant truth, particularly for contemporary readers: A pandemic’s true toll is determined not by doctors and politicians, but by everyone else. In this future, there are governmental and scientific systems in place to respond rapidly to a new contagion. The very night he is hospitalized, public health workers begin tracking down his primary and secondary contacts and researchers begin sequencing the virus. Afterward, the time travel device technician who helped send the student back in time falls seriously ill with an unknown virus. In Oxford, England, history professor Dunworthy sends an undergraduate researcher back in time to what he thinks is 1320. The net prevents time travelers from altering history, so its main use is for historians conducting research. In the 2054 timeline of Doomsday Book, there are no cellphones, but thanks to a complex machine called the “net,” time travel exists. Doomsday Book-whose name is a nod to the Domesday Book, a 1086 survey commissioned by William the Conqueror-features two protagonists who try to stop the spread of deadly contagions 700 years apart. His leading role in the war would seem reason enough, but the Assassin's master has much deeper motives.īrilliant but troubled Shallan strives along a parallel path. Among his prime targets is Highprince Dalinar, widely considered the power behind the Alethi throne. The Assassin, Szeth, is active again, murdering rulers all over the world of Roshar, using his baffling powers to thwart every bodyguard and elude all pursuers.

(Disclaimer: I received this book from the publisher. And there’s no way her flesh and blood could actually be a murderer…right? Review Now Lila has to put away years of resentment and distrust to prove her cousin’s innocence. She’s soon proven right when Ronnie is accused of murder, and secrets and rumors surrounding her shady cousin and those involved with the winery start piling up. Tita Rosie is thrilled with the return of her prodigal son, but Lila knows that wherever Ronnie goes, trouble follows. But her cousin Ronnie is back in town after ghosting the family fifteen years ago, claiming that his recent purchase of a local winery shows that he’s back on his feet and ready to give back to the Shady Palms community. And yes, she’s taken the first step in a new romance with her good friend, Jae Park. Sure, her new business, The Brew-ha Cafe, is looking to turn a profit in its first year. It’s Christmastime in Shady Palms, but things are far from jolly for Lila Macapagal. Keep reading this book review for my full thoughts. I have loved this contemporary mystery series because I rarely read any! At the same time, I feel like not only does it deliver fantastic family scenes and mouth watering food, but I love the world Manansala has created. I will never get over the Tita Rosie’s Kitchen Mystery series. However, this book is more about the couple and their relationship evolving whilst lost at sea, and looking back on how those violent times shaped the hero rather than living within that violence (mostly). You have to be OK hearing about violence and the dark underbelly of the world and be ok with violence to enjoy this book. That uncomfortable time adds to how happy you are with their story by the end because they come so far. In fact, for the first third of the book I wondered if I even liked the hero enough to listen to the rest, but I’m so glad I persevered. There were certainly uncomfortable times and the hero is certainly a messed up man that you come to love despite the biggest pile of history in the world. I think the fact that the characters could actually communicate led to a lot more depth. This book, however, is just great all around with no guilt. I listened to the author’s book, Transcendence, recently and enjoyed that too, but more like a slightly guilty pleasure though it was really good within its genre. Most of the Tomie films adapt one or more chapters of the original manga although a couple – including the one I watched last night – are original stories springboarding from the ideas presented in the original work.įull disclosure – I’ve seen none of the previous Tomie movies. There’s more to it than that – a lot more, including cannibalism, regeneration, infection and duplication – but that’s the basic gist. All of them feature the title character, who is a creature who possesses the ability to seduce men (and occasionally women) and drive them into fits of jealous rage, causing them to brutally murder her.Īnd then she comes back and the cycle starts again. At this date there are something like nine Tomie movies. There have been a number of film adaptations of Ito’s work – I really want to see the live action Uzumaki movie some day – but Tomie has received the most by far. I’ve got big hardcover collections of Uzimaki and Gyo downstairs, but haven’t yet managed to pick up a collection of Tomie, his first major series. I haven’t read everything by the man, but I hope to some day. Junji Ito is a master of horror manga – a mild-mannered creator of unsettling images and stories that occasionally freak you right the hell out. |
