Former rival deputy prosecutors Rusty Sabich and Tommy Molto, stars of the first book, are headed for another blockbuster murder trial. With “Innocent,” Turow returns, 20 years later, to the scene of his breakthrough novel. Sure, Turow often stayed in his fictionalized version of Chicago, the corrupt and brooding Kindle County, but he moved on to much different stories, keeping readers off balance while keeping a close eye on developing characters interesting and intriguing enough to match his brisk courtroom plots. He took his time with each new novel, eschewing the book-a-year cycle publishers prefer for brand-name authors. In Innocent, Scott Turow uses that do-they-or-don’t-they notion to fashion a superb sequel to his 1987 blockbuster, “Presumed Innocent.” The earlier book became a bestseller, launched the still-popular legal thriller genre, and led to a successful movie adaptation starring Harrison Ford.Įven as John Grisham and dozens of others followed similar paths to the best-seller lists, Turow resisted the urge to repeat his winning formula over and over again. Now as an adult, Mika likes to “pretend” to be a witch on social media and has amassed quite a following. She was born in India and because all witches become orphans at a very young age, Mika was rescued by Primrose who brought her back to England and became her guardian. But magic isn’t the only danger in the world, and soon Mika will need to decide whether to risk everything to protect the found family she didn’t know she was looking for. An irritatingly appealing threat.Īs Mika finds her feet, the thought of belonging somewhere starts to feel like a real possibility. and Jamie, the handsome, prickly librarian who would do anything to protect his charges, and who sees Mika’s arrival as a threat. Nowhere House is nothing like she expects, and she’s quickly tangled up in the lives and secrets of its quirky, caring inhabitants. mostly.īut then an unexpected message arrives, begging her to travel to the remote and mysterious Nowhere House to teach three young witches, and Mika jumps at the chance for a different life. An orphan raised by strangers from a young age, Mika is good at being alone, and she doesn’t mind it. The Very Secret Society of Irregular Witches by Sangu MandannaĪs one of the few witches in Britain, Mika Moon has lived her life by three rules: hide your magic, keep your head down, and stay away from other witches. To defeat the final Sword Ruler, Mabelode, Corum ultimately returned the Hand and the Eye to the Lost Gods in return for their destruction of the Chaos Lords and their minions. After that, he defeated Arioch and Xiombarg and banished them from the Fifteen Planes. As a replacement, he was given the Hand of Kwll and the Eye of Rhynn by the sorcerer Shool. During his torture, Corum's left hand was amputated and his right eye was put out. The chieftain of the Denledhyssi Mabden who genocided his race, Glandyth-a-Krae, eventually captured and tortured the prince. He escaped by using his natural powers as a Vadhagh, and began a quest for revenge against the Mabden and their creator gods, the Sword Rulers. Glandyth and his men captured and tortured Corum with the intent to kill him. After living a life of leisure and study, Corum was suddenly thrust into bloodshed and sorrow when he returned from a trip abroad to find that the Mabden chieftain Glandyth a Krae had slaughtered his entire family. The teacher, in the same way as his mom, tries to get him to wear the snowsuit to no avail. After a long day of school, the bell rings, and Thomas is the only one that does not want to go out in his snowsuit. The kids continue to make fun of him even more. But on the way there, he imagines himself as an astronaut on a space mission to his mind off of it. The first time she catches him, puts it on him, and then he goes back to school. This leads to a chain reaction of events involving him running from his mom who is trying to make him put it on. He then loudly declares that he will never wear the snowsuit again, and he throws it away very shortly afterwards when he gets home, only for his mom to treat him to a brand new version of the same one, which he sternly does not agree to wear. When he tries to sneak away without being seen in it, the other kids notice him, tease him, and throw snowballs at him. A young little boy named Thomas is trying to get home, feeling self-conscious about his worn-out brown snowsuit with patches all over it, and all the other kids wearing nicer ones. His effect on the dowager is even more startling: She is convinced that the man must be somehow related to her favorite son, who died almost 30 years before. The highwayman, who is uncommonly charming for a road bandit, manages to intrigue Grace. Still, Grace feels a certain gratitude to her employer and also has few other choices open to her.Īn existence in which the best she can hope for is to tolerate the rest of her days changes one night as she and the Duchess find themselves taken prisoner by an armed highwayman. Grace Eversleigh has seen her life change dramatically from what she thought was a secure place among the local gentry to living as the much put-upon companion to the dowager Duchess of Wyndham, a woman who is overbearing, arrogant, snobbish, and not terribly understanding of her companion. With a mix of humor and deep emotion, the series starts off with what has probably been my favorite read of the year so far. The hero of each book has reason to believe he is truly the Duke of Wyndham, but one will have to accustom himself to a life without the title. With The Lost Duke of Wyndham, Julia Quinn kicks off a two-book set of intertwined stories, each covering the same time period through the eyes of two possible dukes.

But they still didn’t admit to themselves what was happening.īut when Anisa gave Samir her phone number and told him the times to call (when her parents weren’t home), she started to feel a little guilty.īut they talked mostly about Islam and what they envisioned for themselves in the future…and in marriage.Īnisa was eighteen and months away from graduation when Samir surprised her by visiting the school. They talked online almost every day after that. But, something deep inside said it was something more… She kept telling herself it was just loneliness. When Samir graduated, Anisa couldn’t escape the sense of sadness that overwhelmed her, but she tried to focus on school. Less than an hour later, he accepted, and it was clear that Samir was excited to hear from her. Her heart pounded in excitement, and her hand trembled nervously as she sent him a friend request.
