![]() ![]() ![]() Hood River Zero shouldn’t be read as a standalone and is the final book in the four-book series that gives each Hoodlum a story. It’s book four in the Hood River Hoodlum series that all have interlinking storylines. This is a full-length high school friends-to-lovers, forbidden, and new adult romance with high angst, suspense, and gutting emotion. I’m not sure how I’m supposed to mentally heal and be a better man when I have the most unapologetic, unpopular mean girl shining her light into every dark crevice inside me. This girl won’t stop until she’s touched every scar, both inside and out. She sees the darkness inside that I’m trying desperately to hide from everyone. One mouthy, bratty, mean beautiful young thing complicates everything. ![]() Not with all this darkness and pain dragging me into unknown depths. I’m no longer the charismatic, hot playboy Hoodlum. In the blink of an eye, everything changed.

The inspiration for the object of Aschenbach’s infatuation in Thomas Mann’s Death in Venice was acknowledged by the author some years after publication, and the subject of a biography a century later ( The Real Tadzio by Gilbert Adair). ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The first time the reader meets Zita she has run away with her friend Joseph’s notebook. I immediately liked them both. And here’s why I begin this review with that statement: Ben Hatke and his wife are the real deal! Here’s a virtual introduction: Ben and his wife have four daughters and, when you talk to them, you cannot help but be mesmerized by their energy and passion for life, children, and story. That said, here’s my prediction for Zita the Spacegirl Zita, her adventures, her friends, her foes, and her writer (and his family) are all going to find themselves a very secure place in the annals of young adult literature. Prediction put bluntly: Zita the Spacegirl will turn out to be a very popular and well-known series that stands the test of time.

A strangely argued analysis of the communications industry, based upon the author's contention that America's mass media propagate opinions and advertise for life styles as writ upon stone tablets passed down from the Mount Sinai of corporate boardrooms. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Then on a journey home to her husband’s estate on the coast of Sussex, she is abducted, and her life and her heart are changed forever.

The 73-year-old King has written dozens of novels and stories, and usually has three to four ideas that “are half-baked, kind of like an engine and no transmission.” He doesn’t write ideas down because, he says, if something is good enough he’s unlikely to forget it.įor “Later,” he started with the idea of a literary agent who needed to get her late client’s manuscript finished, and thought of having a son who communicates with the dead. “Later” also features a best-selling novelist and his posthumous book, and a police detective who for a time is the girlfriend of Jamie’s mother. ![]() ![]() Like other young King protagonists, Jamie has special powers: He not only can see dead people, but when he asks them questions, they are compelled to tell the truth.
