5/31/2023 0 Comments The Diabolic by S.J. KincaidThis was hardly the first attempt on my life in the harried days since Tyrus’s coronation. I glanced around the crowded presence chamber, hoping to spot the doomed idiot who thought to poison a Diabolic. But if proving her humanity means that she and Tyrus must do inhuman things, is the fight worth the cost of winning it? Excerpt She will have to prove the humanity that she’s found inside herself to the whole Empire-or she and Tyrus may lose more than just the throne. But she cannot protect him by being the killing machine she once was. He is the love of her life, and they are partners in this new beginning. The ruling class, the Grandiloquy, has held control over planets and systems for centuries-and they are plotting to stop this teenage Emperor and Nemesis, who is considered nothing more than a creature and certainly not worthy of being Empress. One where creatures like Nemesis will be given worth and recognition, where science and information can be shared with everyone and not just the elite.īut having power isn’t the same thing as keeping it, and change isn’t always welcome. Tyrus has ascended to the throne with Nemesis by his side and now they can find a new way forward-one where they don’t have to hide or scheme or kill. Kincaid’s New York Times bestselling novel, The Diabolic, which called “the perfect kind of high-pressure adventure.”

I like how she established the characters. I like how she added a little bit of suspense towards the end. I love how McNaught wrote Alexandra and Jordan’s love story. This book is so romantic that I can’t put it down. Now, she will fight for his very life…and the rapturous bond they alone can share. But behind her husband’s cold, arrogant mask, there lives a tender, vital, sensual man…the man Alexandra married. Swept into the endlessly fascinating world of London society, free-spirited Alexandra becomes ensnared in a tangled web of jealousy and revenge, stormy pride and overwhelming passion. The tempestuous marriage of Alexandra Lawrence, an innocent country girl, and Jordan Townsende, the rich and powerful Duke of Hawthorne, is about to face its ultimate test of tender loyalty. Bestselling author Judith McNaught masterfully portrays a remarkable heroine, and an unforgettable passion, in this powerfully moving love story - one of her most beloved novels of all time! With property vacancy rates easily exceeding 50% in certain locations, cities in the American Rust Belt look more like successional woodlands than bustling metropolises, yet these cities still contain significant numbers of urban residents. In many parts of the world, the shrinking cities phenomenon has given rise to a new awareness of urban transition that provides a laboratory of new conditions at the intersection of urbanism and ecology. Narratives of continued growth and permanence become accepted and expected while the understanding of urban dynamics becomes lost. Yet, as many cities continue to grow and develop in ways deemed typical or standard, these transitions can be difficult to acknowledge. Urban environments are in continual transition. |
