~ Written in Red by Anne Bishop, page 206 Kindle version.Īlthough Meg breaks the urban fantasy heroine mold by being not-so-brave (she squeaks and whines under pressure), she grew on me, to the point she satisfied the requirements of being a heroine I love. ""Your first dog?" The clerk sounded delighted. My touchscreen is still recovering from me spouting curses as I tried to nab those difficult, between-two-page-flips quotes.īelieve it or not, I've had similar conversations before: The quotability? Well, I highlighted the hell out of my ereader. The characters made you want to hunt down real life people to match with their personalities, so you could have your own mini-Courtyard/fantasy world. It isn't often you start a book where there is a section to tell you the name of certain days of the week (instead of Monday, Tuesday, etc.), along with a brief history of the world itself. What the author knocked out of the park: the worldbuilding, the characters, and the quotability. And when he learns the truth about Meg and that she’s wanted by the government, he’ll have to decide if she’s worth the fight between humans and the Others that will surely follow.' Yet a stronger instinct propels him to give Meg the job. First, he senses she’s keeping a secret, and second, she doesn’t smell like human prey.

But when she escapes, the only safe place Meg can hide is at the Lakeside Courtyard-a business district operated by the Others. Meg’s Controller keeps her enslaved so he can have full access to her visions. 'As a cassandra sangue, or blood prophet, Meg Corbyn can see the future when her skin is cut-a gift that feels more like a curse. And in the case of this book, I really liked it. I don't always reassign published books cover art, but when I do, it means I liked the book enough to take time to make my fan art. Just in case someone took this book cover mockup too seriously. Cutesy pawprints are entirely optional- but strongly suggested. The subtitle should include that it does, in fact, feature a harnessed Wolf puppy- just in case the harnessed wolf puppy on the cover was mistaken for a miniature schipperke kelpie cross spotting a mouse while on her walk or mini direwolf à la A Song of Ice and Fire series.ģ. This book should have had a Wolf puppy in a harness on the cover- there is absolutely no reason to not have a wolf puppy on the cover, as I would have bought this book when it was first published, had it had an adorable Wolf puppy in a harness on the cover. I have a few things I must express my opinion on before I can carry on with this review:ġ.
