Just shy of reaching the Pacific, a man whose previous boating experience had been limited to the two extremes of paddling a canoe and working aboard a 900-foot aircraft carrier during a two-year Navy hitch, ponders the power of the river and its influence on time. Lively blue eyes constantly scan the river horizon. His face, ruddy from wind and sun, contrasts with his silvery beard and hair, which he remarks grows whiter with every trip. Tanned hands knowingly gripping the wheel, the captain keeps an alert posture even though the pace sometimes bounces him above his seat.

Unlike Lucy, Bee is not a vampire, but the way how she became immortal remains a secret for the first few chapters. Every night they go to an open-air movie theatre and afterwards check on Dracula’s urns: the remains in them are constantly trying to escape and return to life. They live in a decaying house they bartered for some jewellery and have just $100 left to spend. They had met each other back in London seventy years ago, immortality and their terrible partners of the past bringing them together, and soon decided to move to the States to start a new life. Short for Bertha Mason, the first wife of Edward Rochester. The story begins when we see Lucy Westenra burying one of the urns with Dracula’s remains under the Hollywood sign since it has been annoying her greatly in recent days. Though personally not a huge fan of America 70s, I should say that LA and San Francisco of that time felt like a perfect background for the unfolding events – murky, full of hippies, so unlike Victorian England and the Romanian castles, and at the same time just right for the celebrity immortals and their reluctant victims.

Oh, and Monstrous Sea’s biggest fanfiction writer.Įliza and Wallace’s paths inevitably cross, and he begins to share with her the fanfiction transcribes of the webcomic she has secretly created. ➽ Wallace Warland – The new boy that just joined Eliza’s school halfway through senior year. ➽ Eliza Mirk – AKA: Lad圜onstellation, creator of one of the biggest webcomics online, Monstrous Sea. And this book follows two characters very invested with the same fandom Which, I’m not really sure if here is any higher praise than to be compared to that book.īut basically, this book is all about putting yourself out there, carving yourself a little home on the internet, and feeling like you belong, even if your life offline isn’t the easiest to understand. While reading this, I was constantly reminded of one my favorite books of all time, Radio Silence by Alice Oseman. I love books centered on creators on the internet. And if the ending was a little different, this would have been such an easy five star read. Goodreads | Amazon US | Barnes & Noble | Book Depositoryįriends, I loved this story. 7/7/2023 0 Comments Virgil flowers deep freezeDeep Freeze is easily one of Sandford’s best Virgil Flowers novels yet.”- The Real Book Spy “The reader’s quest to discover the whole truth will propel them forward, where has plenty of twists (and more than a few laughs) planted along the way. One of the very best novels in a superior series.”- Booklist (starred review) Virgil understands that, in small towns, no one ever outgrows high school, and he uses that knowledge to unravel both mysteries by dissecting the relationships and economic realities in the town. “The tenth Flowers novel is a knowing portrait of small-town life layered into a very well plotted mystery. “Along the way to the satisfying ending, Virgil displays the rough humor and rough justice that make him such an appealing character.”- Publishers Weekly 7/7/2023 0 Comments Fear Nothing by Lisa GardnerWarren, who still can’t lift her child, load her gun, or recall a single detail from the night that may have cost her everything.
