They arrive quietly, unseen and unheard, but with alarming efficiency and speed. Told from Molly’s perspective, we are draw minute by minute into the weird and terrifying realm of an alien invasion. From day one, page one, I did not want to put this book down, but work and sleep required it in stretches way too long. They must venture out into an alien-infused landscape to find out who – or what – is taking over planet Earth and if salvation is possible. Like it or not, the Sloans can’t stay in their home. It glows and glistens in unearthly ways and falls from a purple-tainted sky. They quickly realize, along with the rest of the world, that this is no ordinary storm. Molly and Neil Sloan wake shortly after midnight to the sound of heavy rain. Or, I try a genre I don’t normally read and realize why. Maybe the plot just doesn’t feel logical or the ending is abrupt and unsatisfying. The inability to connect to characters is all too often a big problem. As much as I love to read, sometimes it’s a real struggle.

The bigger problem is a mysterious mutant causing unnatural disasters, and we’re the ones who have to stop him. Now there’s a whole group of us with strange abilities, including super hot ice queen Dani Kim who doesn’t approve of how reckless I can be. One hot make out session with the host herself, and I can talk to objects like my pillow (who’s far too invested in my love life) and my baseball bat (who was a pacifist before I got hold of him). Except people and me never got along, and apparently you need social skills to run a successful team. My name is Dylan Taylor, human incarnation of the burning dumpster gif, and this is my life. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review. I received this book for free from MTMC Tours, Author in exchange for an honest review. Now read on below for a review, a Cute Mutants comic strip plus an International giveaway!Ĭute Mutants Vol 1: Mutant Pride by SJ Whitby Cute Mutants Vol 1 & 2 are out now, and Vol 3 releases on December 8th, 2020! Now she’s part of a group of queer superheroes struggling to control their powers, defeat the villain and, most difficult of all, make friends. Today I’m excited to participate in the Bookstagram & Creative Tour for Cute Mutants Vol 1: Mutant Pride by SJ Whitby! In this YA Superhero novel, a teenager X-Men superfan gets powers and discovers she’s not the only one. I enjoyed reading the book because it was descriptive and I pictured something about almost everything I read about, and then I watching the movie and it was super different. He tells Savannah in person after a guest at the party talks about the war and 911. He basically decides at Savannah’s parents house. In the book John signed up for the military again without really thinking and intakes place away, and writes Savannah a letter telling her what’s happening and the choice he made, and in the movie he had the weekend to think first. All these changes in the movie change the way the story is written and how I thought it was going to be. They also mention in the movie that John is in the Special Forces in the book they say that he’s in the military. Savannah and Tim have known each other since they were born and Alan is Tim son not dad as in the movie. In the book, John describes Savannah as a brunette but in the movie Savannah is a blonde. The book focuses more on Johns father and his love story as where the movie focuses more on John love life and his romance with Savannah. The movie was somewhat different and had a little different twist to it. The book, Dear John, was a love novel written by Nicholas Sparks.

He was able to calm himself down and trust in Seth. Like I mentioned I was waiting for Donovan’s insecurities to play a factor but they really didn’t. What also surprised me was how well Seth and Donavan fit together. For being only 25 Donavan was surprisingly very mature. Every time I expected a huge misunderstanding these two characters worked it out before it could evolve. I think there’s a consensus…this was probably the least angsty BDSM story that I’ve ever read. What could an educated, handsome, and confident man like Seth possibly see in someone like him? Seth must convince him that despite the differences on the surface, when it comes to kinky fun and discovery, they’ll fit together just fine. The trouble is, Donavan doesn’t have as much experience with the BDSM world as he’d like. Smaller and older than Donavan, Doctor Seth Manning might not look like a typical dominant, but when the two men meet at Pride, Donavan realized Seth might be his perfect counterpart. Unfortunately, they’re wrong, and Donavan’s desire to explore his submissive side goes unfulfilled. At over six feet, with a body honed in the gym, auto worker Donavan Gregory is used to people assuming he’s a dominant top. For one thing, Beam was an adolescent runaway herself.

Teo, a 17-year-old Jade semidiós and the trans son of Quetzal, goddess of birds, has never worried about the Trials…or rather, he’s only worried for others. The winner carries light and life to all the temples of Reino del Sol, but the loser has the greatest honor of all―they will be sacrificed to Sol, their body used to fuel the Sun Stones that will protect the people of Reino del Sol for the next ten years. Ten semidioses between the ages of thirteen and eighteen are selected by Sol himself as the most worthy to compete in The Sunbearer Trials. I’m not a real hero.”Īs each new decade begins, the Sun’s power must be replenished so that Sol can keep traveling along the sky and keep the evil Obsidian gods at bay. “Only the most powerful and honorable semidioses get chosen.

It refers to several appellations of Ganesha such as Heramba, Ganavigneṣa and Vinayaka and visualizes him as elephant headed, pot-bellied, bearing an axe and riding a mouse.
