However, there wouldn't be much of a romance if MacRieve was willing to accept that! Yet, despite her interest in MacRieve, Lucia cannot risk losing her abilities as an Archer or Cruach will free himself from his prison and spread his evil across the world. The other narrative voice is that of Garreth MacRieve, a werewolf and Prince of the Lykkae and Lucia's destines mate. Every five hundred years Lucia is charged with the task of defeating the evil God Cruach a task for which she will need every one of her skills. In return for this gift, Lucia must keep herself chaste or she will lose her unmatched abilities as one of Skathi's Archers. Lucia the Huntress had bound herself to the Goddess Skathi in exchange for saving her life. Pleasure of a Dark Prince is a dual narrative with events told from the perspectives of the two lead characters. Sometimes there's nothing nicer than curling up with a glass of wine (or two!), some cheese and crackers and lovely hunky man – even if he is the main character in a book! I've never read Kresley Cole before but I love fantasy, especially with a romantic element and so I was looking forward to trying a new author. Sexy half dressed hunk on the cover? Check. Summary: An enjoyable way to pass a few hours.

So, read on and find out what Thrower thinks about “Fangoria” (which I agree with), “The Devil’s Rejects (which I don’t), the current state of film and more. (Don’t believe me? Just read his essay in “Art of Darkness: The Cinema of Dario Argento.” His thoughts on “Suspiria” are fascinating.) I recently interviewed him in order to satisfy my own curiosity and to help promote what I think will be the most important film book of the year. This upcoming “untold story of the exploitation independents” is a fifteen year look at American cinema’s last exciting age, and author Stephen Thrower is just the man to write it. My excitement about the FAB Press book, “Nightmare USA,” is well documented. He got the phone call that Kit might have cancer while on the set of The Americans waiting to interview Russell. Ausiello is an entertainment journalist, who wrote for TV Guide and Entertainment Weekly before founding the website. He said goodbye again on the book’s press tour, speaking to writers like me, to his friends, and to celebrities who are mentioned in it, like Kristen Bell and Keri Russell. He said goodbye to him in his book, Spoiler Alert: The Hero Dies, about meeting and falling in love with Kit and caring for him at the end of his life, which he wrote while still in the grieving process. He has been saying goodbye to him-grieving him, remembering him, celebrating him-almost constantly since. Seven-and-a-half years ago, Michael Ausiello said goodbye to his husband, Kit Cowan, who died of cancer. Because at its core, Part of Your World is the perfect love story that made me swoon, sigh, cheer, and even cry a little. Or perhaps it’s just Abby Jimenez’s talent for layering complex, realistic themes with the sweetest of romances. Maybe it’s the sometimes hilarious, sometimes heart-wrenching, always scene-stealing extended cast that has me hoping for lots and lots of sequels. Maybe it’s the magical, whimsical setting of Wakan, a fictional place that feels like the delightful combination of a Disney amusement park and Schitt’s Creek. Maybe it’s because of the relatable characters: Alexis, the big-city physician who swerves to avoid fate (i.e., our beloved raccoon), and Daniel, the small-town carpenter/innkeeper/mayor who tows her out of a ditch. I’ve loved this author ever since her debut, but Part of Your World is her best book yet. Not something I ever thought I’d say, but Abby Jimenez’s beautiful writing has me believing it. |
