![]() ![]() Only because he likes solving mysteries not because he wants to flex his heroic muscles for the damsel in distress.Īll they have to do is figure out who pulled the trigger, keep the by-the-book detective with a grudge at bay, and deal with a stranger claiming he was sent to help Riley hone her psychic gifts. ![]() ![]() When the pretty, possibly psychic Riley lands at the top of the list of suspects, Nick volunteers to find out whodunit. He’s a rebel, a black sheep, a man who prefers a buffet of options to being stuck with the same entrée every night, if you catch his drift. Unless the “others” are of the female persuasion. Nick Santiago doesn’t play well with others. Just when things can’t get worse, a so-hot-it-should-be-illegal private investigator shows up on her doorstep looking for a neighbor…who turns up murdered. And those hallucinations she’s diligently ignoring? Her tarot card-dealing mom is convinced they’re clairvoyant visions. Is that too much to ask? For Riley Thorn it is. ![]()

You Can Run... by Carlene Thompson7/4/2023 ![]() She characterized GNTC as a “blessing” to her. When the Dual Enrollment coordinator spoke with her about the opportunity to take classes in the field she was “most passionate about” at GNTC for little-to-no cost for her, she grasped the opportunity, Ms. “I became hungry to learn everything I could about how it worked and how I could turn this neglected, beat-up truck into everything I envisioned it to be,” she said, adding that at that time she could not afford college and had no future plans after high school. ![]() Pemberton said her “passion for cars was ignited” when she purchased a derelict 1967 Ford Bronco. ![]() She is expected to graduate from GNTC in spring 2024, Dr. Pemberton, a Dual Enrollment student at Ridgeland High School, attends Automotive Technology classes on GNTC’s Walker County Campus in Rock Spring and will receive her high school diploma on May 25.

Fever by Lauren DeStefano7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() The come across everything from a brothel circus, to a creepy cafe owner and little old lady who happens to be a psychic. ![]() LIKES: Dystopian Roadtrip!: Rhine and Gabriel travel up the East Coast in a very dystopian \”where are we going to sleep tonight and who is going to watch out for kidnappers\” kind of way. I felt that I really got to know Rhine and Gabriel in this book, as well as the world that they inhabit. I found Fever to be just as interesting and even more emotional and exciting than the first book. ![]() I had my concerns because I had heard from a lot of readers that this book suffered greatly from \”middle book syndrome\”, just a go between, betwixt two awesome plots. Rhine was away from the opulence and seductive danger of the mansion and now we were going to get to see more of the gritty, treacherous, real world as she hunted for her twin, Rowan. Fever promised to be a completely different type of story. In fact, I had some major issues with it, but it was still a unique and interesting book and I definitely wanted to know what happened to Rhine and Gabriel after their harrowing escape from the mansion. As you may remember, Wither was not my favorite dystopian of all time. With Sever, the third and final book in the Chemical Garden Trilogy, set to release in February, I figured I should read Fever so I was actually caught up for once. ![]()

The wicked deep7/4/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Novoa ushers readers right into the lush world at the end of the Golden Age of Piracy, pitting people of indigenous heritage (including Mar) against the Spaniards who have colonized their lands. And the last time Mar used their full strength, they became a monster. It wasn’t magic enough to save their crew. Not only is the grief of losing their family, and their home, heavy on their shoulders, but they have to keep two secrets: first, Mar is nonbinary, something not everyone understands, and, more importantly, Mar has magic. Mar isn’t supposed to survive either, but when they wash up, rescued, on the deck of La Ana, ship of the only other remaining successful pirate in the Caribbean, they have to start anew. La Catalina, the ship that has been Mar’s home and sanctuary, will not survive the storm. Mar never believed the story-and on their sixteenth birthday, they find out that it’s true in the worst way.Įl Diablo has come to collect. Everyone knows the story: the famous pirate el Embrujado made a deal with the devil to protect his legacy, saving the life of infant Mar and giving the pirate and his crew a legendary run. Mar has been a beneficiary of their father’s devilish deal for sixteen years. Faustian bargains never turn out well for anyone but the devil, something the protagonist of Gabe Cole Novoa’s stunning new stand-alone pirate fantasy, The Wicked Bargain, knows very well. ![]()
