Archangel's Viper by Nalini Singh6/23/2023 ![]() I love all the books in this series, but this was my favorite hands down. I found it really puzzling that a remnant/phantom of Uram could even be half-alive that way ! Was it done intentionally by Uram would be interesting to know. It is okay that he is irksome - I mean Dmitri also does not really like Elena but to be blind is not good I thought. I constantly found him irritating in this aspect where he does not realize that it is Elena's love that makes Raphael strong. May be though you should now consider a small story where he finally admits that he sports a chink in his armor too (according to his own definition) just like Raphael !! And that such a thing is not a weakness. ![]() ![]() You always leave me hungering for more of the story !! A specific talent ! :) Would have loved a longer epilogue !! Especially b'cos this story happens at the same time as Archangel's heart ! ![]()

Shirley jackson ruth franklin6/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Haunting of Hill House was inspired by real-life paranormal investigators. Here are 11 facts about The Haunting of Hill House you should know. Since then, the novel has been made into a play, into a widely panned 1999 movie, and a Netflix series. In its review, The New York Times called the story “caviar for connoisseurs of the cryptic” and described Jackson as “the finest master currently practicing in the genre of the cryptic, haunted tale.” It also caught the attention of Hollywood, and within four years MGM released a film adaptation, directed by Robert Wise. Upon its release, the novel sold briskly, earning Jackson a National Book Award nomination and high praise from critics. Things rapidly devolve and the characters-in particular, the novel’s lonely protagonist, Eleanor-realize, too late, that they’re in over their heads. ![]() Released in 1959, the gothic novel follows four strangers who converge on a purportedly haunted house to “scientifically” seek out evidence of the paranormal. Can a house be born bad? That’s the question Shirley Jackson asks in her classic novel, The Haunting of Hill House. ![]()
