![]() ![]() I fell in love with the Sullivans, but the story, unfortunately while fleshing out a lot of background and getting Caitlyn to the next phase of her life, seems to go on too long and without too much direction.Ĭaitlyn first meets a teen-aged Dillon and his family on that fateful night when the light in the dark was his family’s farm and he discovered a distraught ten-year-old cowering in the kitchen. The story meanders while Caitlyn moves to New York, experiments with boys, and discovers herself. Once she’s back in Southern California, she joins the family business and suddenly she’s getting a storm of media attention and threatening phone calls in the middle of the night. Not everyone is happy with the outcome, but sleeping dogs lie while Caitlyn grows into a beautiful young woman on her family’s estate in Ireland. ![]() ![]() Roberts is such a fabulous writer, and readers can feel Caitlyn’s determination, fear, and pain as she stumbles in the dark until she sees a light shining in that darkness, promising safety. ![]() She manages to fool her kidnappers and successfully escape from captivity and put together the necessary facts to point the finger at the insider who engineered the attempt. The star is Caitlyn Sullivan, who might have been born into Hollywood royalty and treated like a princess, but she sure is brave and resourceful. This story kicks off with so much promise and an absolutely wonderfully diverse set of characters. Veena’s review of Hideaway by Nora Roberts ![]()

![]() ![]() Seeing no choice but to rescue him from an unknown fate, Prue enters the Wildwood. One fateful day, Prue’s baby brother is abducted by a murder of crows who carry him off into the forbidden Wildwood, an uncharted forest outside of the Portland, Oregon city limits. Plot-wise, the Wildwood trilogy focuses on two young protagonists, Prue and Curtis, who are classmates and semi-friends. The three novels that make up the Wildwood trilogy, which was penned by Colin Meloy (featuring illustrations by Carson Ellis), are Wildwood, Under Wildwood, and Wildwood Imperium. But I’m glad I made the effort because this hefty trilogy, while not perfect, is still worth diving into. That led me to discover this modern-day middle grade fantasy/magical realism trilogy, Wildwood, which I had to read through twice to fully appreciate. I enjoyed his writing style as well as Carson Ellis’ illustrations, so I hunted down more of their work. The first book by Colin Meloy I perused was The Whiz Mob and the Grenadine Kid, a historical fiction middle grade novel set in 1960s France. ![]() ![]() A DARK-HUNTER CHRISTMAS- available in the DARK BITES compendium.ġ0.

Thoreau and other Northern critics of the war viewed it as a plot by Southerners to expand slavery into the Southwest. In 1846, the United States declared war against Mexico. For the next few years, Thoreau lived simply off the land, meditated, and wrote about nature. In 1845, he built a hut at Walden Pond on property owned by Emerson. The leader of the movement was Ralph Waldo Emerson, a writer and lecturer.Īt first, Thoreau agreed with Emerson’s teaching that social reform begins with the individual. He soon joined a religious, philosophical, and literary movement called Transcendentalism. He worked a short while as a schoolmaster, but then began writing poetry.
