I did enjoy the switch in the online conversations from friendly to flirty to dirty.
Independent reviewer for Archaeolibrarian, I was gifted my copy of this book.

I finished this, which was touch and go for a while, so thats something.

Only Madelyn has a say, which didn't help. Brem doesn't get a say at all and I think (and I know I say this a lot, I KNOW I do!) if he had a say, I would have enjoyed this a tad more.

I did enjoy the switch in the online conversations from friendly to flirty to dirty.

While its pretty obvious who Madelyn is talking to online, the writer of the notes she gets, isn't. I got that wrong! And I did enjoy the fact that Easton216 knew who Madelyn was way before she knew who he was.

It's not a bad book, by any means, but just one that didn't float my boat as much as I wanted it to, and I really wanted it to! It is well written, and I didn't spot any spelling errors. Madelyn has her say in the third person/past tense.

a good nice (sorry!) read

Red Dawn (1984)

1984 | Adventure, Drama
An entertaining non-stop action film, but plot wise not a lot happens. A bunch of kids hold up in the mountains when Russia and Cuban forces invade America at the start of World War 3. Over the months the group fight back as much as they can making quite a reputation as the Wolverines! Starring an 80's star cast including Jennifer Grey and Patrick Swayze who paired up a few years later in Dirty Dancing. A good action film made at the height of the cold war, but looking dated now. It does still have some dramatic, iconic scenes though.

Mythology
One of my top 10
This novel was one of the most original works I have read. It combines mythology from all over the world into an epic journey within the dirty underside of the melting pot that is America. The main characters are well fleshed out. An interesting aspect of the book is the “coming to America” chapters that give the backstory on how the old gods in the novel came to be in America. This novel definitely focuses more on the journey to get to the climax rather than the climax itself.
