The Cultish Homecoming

Black Sheep by Rachel Harrison

November 7, 2023 by Jake 3 Comments

There was a lot going on in the week following my purchase of this book, one I grabbed with great anticipation. So I saved it for the last few days to really savor the experience. Rachel Harrison’s The Return was a sneaky good read; I felt like I was on her storytelling wavelength and that helped overcome the many negative reviews that, I think, missed the point of her book.

This seems like a fun movie to dreamcast

March 5, 2017 by llp 4 Comments

After the darkness of Deadhouse Gates, I needed something a bit lighter. Many of my much trusted and admired fellow Cannonballers enjoy romance novels, and this review of Heyer’s Twin Swap seemed to suggest this author would fit the bill. There were only a few Heyer books at the library, so randomly picked Black Sheep. It took me a few minutes to get into the style and language, but once I was used to it, it was just the thing. This Regency romance focuses on […]
