I received a copy of Storm and Fury from Netgalley and Harlequin Teen in exchange for an honest review.

Sexy shapeshifting gargoyle boys! Count me in!

I was initially confused because this one jumps right into the story. Turns out it's a spin-off, so that explains a lot.

It started of a little slow but once the action starts it doesn't really let up.

I really liked Trinity. She could have easily been an obnoxious Chosen One ™ type but the book managed to avoid that.



Also Trinity is disabled which I appreciate so much as a disabled woman. Every bit of representation matters and I love the matter of fact way a degenerative disease is s dealt with.

A proper inspirational weepie
Great performances all round based on this amazing true story. A gentle, touching drama that is made all the more special by the fact it is produced by Robin Cavendish's son, Jonathan.
This story truly educates us on how disabled peoples lives where changed and just how much further we could go if people are brave enough.

A cautionary tale of mob mentality
This is absolutely tragic. The last few scenes remind me of Frankenstein. This mystery novel surrounds a quirky young woman, her older agoraphobic sister Constance, their disabled uncle and an enigmatic cousin. They have a rather hideous family secret that is revealed midway but the reasoning behind it remains unknown. It is a fascinating story, engaging, and straightforward.

Remember when you could only be on Facebook if you were a college student or graduate? And people joined to stay in touch with each other? It would be cool if it went back to that

<b>Warning:</b> <i>Book involves a highly inappropriate relationship between a developmentally disabled young man (who is effectively a young teen, and likely will be for the rest of his life) and a grown woman.</i>

The squick factor got in the way of me enjoying the book as much as I usually do with Bishop. It was nice to encounter less-powerful people who aren't all gorgeous.

This book is a gripping courtroom drama about a hard-working single Mum and solicitor who is trying to juggle a demanding job and a disabled child when she gets a case that she can't let go of.
This story is so perfectly paced and engaging that, before I even realised it, I was halfway though. The absolute definition of a page turner, especially in the last few chapters and I can't wait to read some more of Ruths work.
