Thus, fans of her Timekeeper and Scavenge the Stars series will find familiar themes in the new format of a dark, epic fantasy. Much like her other books, The City of Dusk features “stabby girls, soft boys, and death,” as she stated on Twitter. Sim’s first foray into adult fantasy, after her two YA series, the novel is a self-described “goth fantasy” with shadow familiars, necromancy, demons, a diverse cast, angry, murderous gods, and celestial weapons. The City of Dusk by Tara Sim is a delightful, complex, intimate yet explosive debut adult fantasy novel, the first in a planned trilogy titled The Dark Gods. ![]() Violent Mistake by Ariana Nash7/6/2023 ![]() The men are destined to be together and the stakes are high for both of them and now their main concern is to protect each other at all costs - and that cost is high. ![]() Felix is in over his head in an unfamiliar world and Kazi can’t be allowed to want Felix as much as he does. The heat is intense between the men and what once was hate quickly ignites into so much more. But as soon as that happens, Kazi’s orders are still to kill Felix. If Felix and Kazi want to escape, they have to call a truce and work together to get free. But in what should have been Felix’s final moments, both men are kidnapped by an overzealous cult determined to bleed Kazi dry. Kazi has orders from Mikalis, the head of the Brotherhood, to kill Felix. ![]() He lives by the rules of the Brotherhood and, as long as he keeps his feelings locked down, he gets close to no one and no one he would potentially care about gets hurt. Kazi has been a member of the Blackrose Brotherhood for centuries and he’s been a vampire for longer. ![]() But his story was squashed and his career went up in flames and now Felix is ready to make Kazi pay. ![]() There are disturbing occurrences wherever Kazi is and Felix has photographic evidence to back up his claims. Felix loathes everything about Kazi as an investigative journalist, Felix knows something is definitely off with Kazi and Felix’s need to expose Kazi has imploded his life and his marriage.

Having taken that last step toward personal revelation, Martin now dives completely into the memoir format with Born Standing Up, an autobiography that doubles as a dissertation on how to be funny in front of crowds. ![]() These include a collection of Dadaist prose pieces (“Cruel Shoes”), a brainy play (“Picasso at the Lapin Agile”), and, more recently, a wan love story (“Shopgirl”) involving a mild-tempered and wealthy adult rather like himself. It’s all too easy to package a stage routine into a book, slap on a grinning front-cover portrait and a catchy one-word title (Seinlanguage, Fatherhood) and hope nobody remembers hearing the same funny stories on The Tonight Show last year.īut Steve Martin has never taken the easy way out, and his latest offering will be held to high literary standards by readers who have enjoyed his previous books. Many comedians have written memoirs, but few have risked much in the effort. ![]() |
