The Crow’s murder ( Kit Davenport book 5)
By Tate James

Well, I just can't seem to catch a break, can I?

None of us saw it coming, no matter what precautions we took or how many contingencies we put into play.

What’s the point of having all this power when everyone is out to get me?

They say things are darkest before the light, and that the storm gets worse before it clears. Trust me when I say platitudes don’t do a damn bit of good when you’re in the middle of it.

I’m Kit Davenport, and my heart is breaking.

Holy cow how much can happen in one book! Emotional rollercoaster for Kit and her men but Kit losing Wesley then Johnathan then Lucy I would just give up! She gets Wesley back to lose herself and River! What a bitch of a mother too! I’m looking forward to Kit getting some revenge! I just hope her remaining men don’t get left behind! I enjoyed this book it certainly gave her something to fight for!

Paul Verhoeven brings all the taste and restraint you might expect to this loose updating of The Invisible Man. Nothing terribly original or surprising about the plot - invisibility experiments go wrong, which (unsurprisingly) nobody saw coming - although the emphasis on the psychological effects of being invisible is something unexpected and genuinely derived from Wells. That said, the main character played by Bacon - second billed, perhaps because he's technically not on screen for much of the film - is such a piece of work to begin with they don't leave themselves much room for manoeuvre.

Selling points of the film are, firstly, the lavish CGI, which I suppose was very good for the time; you can sense the technicians are having fun with it. Also the violence and gore, which is fairly strong for a studio movie; it also has a hard, nasty, sometimes misogynistic edge to it (Verhoeven...!). It all plays out pretty much as you'd expect. Competently done but nowhere near the standard of Verhoeven's best SF films.

Betrayal has forced us on the run. Evading the very man I considered my family, the organization I once considered good. In hiding, I need to master my new power and find peace with my bonded guardian--or risk exposure.

But my heart can't accept the events that led us here. I need answers. Closure.

An olive branch is offered and another trap is sprung. While my relationships grow stronger by the day, new tensions arise and ghosts of my past appear. But can anyone be trusted?

I'm Kit Davenport and I didn't see that one coming.

Another brilliant chapter in Kit journey! I absolutely adore Wesley and am not at all happy with how this book ended I'm a little worried for him! I'm not convinced Kits mother is all sweetness and light after all these years either! Oh I just love this girl and her men!! Lots of action in and out of the bedroom all so well written!! I can even bare to pick up book 5 yet and how adorable is ssssaaaammmmm .
