However, many fans have speculated that the series may continue, as there are still many unanswered questions. Is There A Sixth Book In Crossfire Series?Ĭredit: There is no official word on whether or not there will be a sixth book in the Crossfire series. It is also in the works to be adapted into a television series by the Lionsgate Television Group. Her novel’s success inspired her to write a few more. In the novel, Gideon Cross is described as a flawless, beautiful young billionaire. The novel’s rights were purchased by a number of countries around the world. In its initial run, the book was exported to more than half a million homes worldwide. The novel was named one of the top ten erotic and adult romance novels of 2012 by the New York Times. The first novel is ranked fourth on ’s list of the top ten best-selling books in 2015. More than 13 million copies of the series have been sold in 40 countries worldwide. The novels are written by Sylvia Day, who specializes in romance and fantasy. In addition to the three novels published in 2012, there are two more novels in the Crossfire series. They come together and start a passionate affair, but as they get to know each other better, they realize that they may not be able to escape their pasts after all. The series follows the story of Eva and Gideon, who are both deeply scarred by their pasts. The Crossfire novels are a series of five books written by Sylvia Day. Derek immediately knows there is something different about Sofia.ĭespite Derek claiming Sofia and warning Lucas to stay away, Lucas is determined to have Sofia as his own. It takes Derek a while to be able to control himself and not attack the beautiful girl. Derek spots Sofia and is instantly smitten. Vivienne reminds Lucas that girls found on the hunt belong to their prince, her twin brother, Derek.ĭerek wakes after four hundred years of sleep brought on by a witch’s spell. Lucas plans to make Sofia his own before being interrupted by his sister Vivienne. When Sofia wakes, she is confronted with Lucas Novak, a bloodthirsty and ruthless vampire. Sofia is kidnapped and taken to the Shade, an island created for vampire kind. Sofia is distraught about her feelings over Ben, her best friend and love interest, and does not hear a vampire approach. It begins with Sofia walking on the beach on the night of her birthday. The story cries romance from page one while adding family drama and conflict as well as personal realization. The main characters throughout the books are Sofia Claremont, a seventeen year old human, and Derek Novak, a five hundred year old vampire who still looks like he is eighteen. “A Shade of Vampire” by Bella Forrest is a work of fiction and the first in a series of books focused on the Shade, a vampire island community. Schooled as a toddler from the helicopter, she’s exactly the reporter you want out in the field doing special reports, not seated behind a desk at 2 p.m. Her Trump coverage was eerily prescient, but because the political pundits at NBC didn’t take Trump seriously, they forced Tur to second-guess herself. With her sharp eye and intelligence, she seems wasted behind that damned desk. And despite a second memoir just shy of 40, she seems low-maintenance for a TV anchor. Conscious that she eschewed a personal life while on the campaign trail, she’s startlingly frank about her need for a partner who wants children and about timing her first pregnancy so she can cover the 2020 election afterward. Tur is especially on point at discussing the competing forces of career and motherhood. And when she meets and then marries the CBS Mornings co-anchor Tony Dokoupil - with whom she bonds over his own complicated father, an illegal drug entrepreneur - you want to cheer. But Tur handles her family drama so wryly that you’re in safe hands it never veers into melodrama. Like the Trump campaign, it’s a hell of a story. She is also considered one of the first white American illustrators (after Ezra Jack Keats) to incorporate black characters into her illustrations regularly, as a matter of principle, in large part triggered by her daughter's marriage to a man from Cameroon. For example, in one scene in Saint George and the Dragon, the dragon's tail stretches into the border artwork of the next page. Many of her illustrations can be quite complex. She was the first art director of Cricket Magazine, from 1973 to 1979, and contributed illustrations regularly until her death. For about the last decade of her life, her romantic partner was teacher Jean K. Trina lived for some time with children's writer and editor Barbara Rogasky (with whom she collaborated on several projects). In 1963, the couple's daughter, Katrin Tchana ( née Hyman), was born, but in 1968, they divorced, and Trina and Katrin moved to Lyme, New Hampshire. The couple then moved to Stockholm, Sweden, for two years, where Trina studied at the Konstfackskolan (Swedish State Art School) and illustrated her first children's book, titled Toffe och den lilla bilen ( Toffe and the Little Car). She graduated from School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, in 1960. She enrolled at the Philadelphia Museum College of Art (now part of the University of the Arts) in 1956, but moved to Boston, Massachusetts, in 1959 after marrying Harris Hyman, a mathematician and engineer.

I’m so glad I have part two on my kindle as well so I can find out how the story continues! I sure hope the cliffhanger at the end of the second part won’t be as bad, because it will be a long wait for part three… That said, I’m not sure if I’m a big fan of the main characters and some of their actions don’t make a lot of sense (why o why don’t they hide the papers in their pockets for easy access?!). Colleen Hoover wrote this novella with Tarryn Fisher and together they created a very interesting story with an even more painful cliffhanger ending. I’ve never read anything by Colleen Hoover before because I’m not really into romance… But Never Never sounded like an interesting read so I decided to give it a go to get an idea of her work. I’ve had Never Never on my wishlist ever since I first heard about it last year. “How odd to be made of flesh, balanced on bone, and filled with a soul you’ve never met.” 2023 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge.2017 Netgalley And Edelweiss Reading Challenge. There was, instead, a seemingly infinite series of tests. No, the idea here (in the all-enclosing fraternity) seemed to be that a man should have the ability to go up in a hurtling piece of machinery and put his hide on the line and then have the moxie, the reflexes, the experience, the coolness, to pull it back in the last yawning moment – and then go up again the next day, and the next day, and every next day, even if the series should prove infinite…Nor was there a test to show whether or not a pilot had this righteous quality. The idea seemed to be that any fool could do that, if that was all that was required, just as any fool could throw away his life in the process. But it was not bravery in the simple sense of being willing to risk your life. As to just what this ineffable quality was…well, it obviously involved bravery. “This quality, this it, was never named…nor was it talked about in any way.
