Ｖ＆Ｊファンにはたまらなくうれしい巻のはずです。
いっぱい出るã‚"ですから。メインã‚'押しのã'る勢いで！
しかし、幸せなシーンだã'でない。むしろ幸せなシーンは2割くらい。
急いで読ã‚"だので見落としはあるかもしれませã‚"が、それでも厳しいç'°å¢ƒã®äºŒäººã§ã—た。
本å½"もう破局して戻らないã‚"でないかと思いましたよ…。
あ、Ｖ＆Ｊカップルです；

メインカップルは…なã‚"でしょう、ある意å'³ãƒ­ãƒžãƒ³ã‚¹ã®çŽ‹é"というか。
確かに色ã‚"なãƒ'ロインの混ざり、という感は否めないです。
弱いのか強いのかよく分からなかった…。
ただ無知でç´"粋でした。
ãƒ'ーローは…大人なせいか決断が早い。でも迷う。後半は大変オスらしい行動でした。
クライマックス（？）は…上手くまとまり過ぎてて、都合良 すぎ、と取る方もいらっしゃるかも。
私はハッãƒ"ーエンド至上主義なので許せますが…。

しかしキャラクターと思æƒ'がありすぎて正直わたしの脳みそはãƒ'ンク手前です（ç¬'
ã"の先続くのは良いですが、あまり造語やら略語やらがあり過ぎると邦訳版ã‚'待たざるã‚'得なくなりそう…。
手に負えなくなる前に幸せに終わって欲しいなぁ〜という願いã‚'込めまして、☆ï¼"つです。 J.R. Ward Black Dagger Brotherfoodシリーズの第９巻。前作で脊髄ã‚'損傷したPayneと人é–"の外ç§'医Mannyが主役…のはずなのですが、Payneの双子の兄VとJaneにかなりのページ数が割かれ、レッサーの内部事情が出てã"ない代わりに、Xcor（カタカナにするならコア）率いる新たなVampire集団がストーリーに加わってきます。

前作Lover Mineにæ¯"べ、メインとサイドストーリーの入れ替わりがスムーズなのでフラストレーションからは解æ"¾ã•ã‚Œéžå¸¸ã«èª­ã¿ã‚„すかったのですが、それは逆にメインストーリーにそれほどのめり込まなかったから、とも言えます。ãƒ'ーローのMannyはすでに外ç§'医として成功し、人é–"として安定期にあるï¼"５歳の大人。人ç"Ÿã«å¤šå°'の不満があるものの、ブラザーé"にæ¯"べると「非常にまとも」。一方ãƒ'ロインのPayneは血筋と育ったç'°å¢ƒã‚'考えると非常に個性的なキャラクターのはずですが、ふたã‚'é–‹ã'てみれば「天真爛漫なお姫様」。しかもせりふや行動の随所に、過保護な兄に悩むBellaに天然系Marissa、落ちã"ぼれChosenのCormia、ä½"育会系Xhex、という既出のãƒ'ロインé"が重なります。

そもそもウォードが書くãƒ'ーローは誰もが心に傷ã‚'かかえ、そだ®ã€Œå¼±ã•ã€ã€Œä¸å®‰å®šã•ã€ãŒã‚¹ãƒˆãƒ¼ãƒªãƒ¼ã«æ·±ã¿ã‚'与え、単なるロマンスで終わらせないのですが、Mannyではその「弱さ」「不安定さ」ã‚'描ききれないから、Vã‚'ひっぱり出して作å"ã¨ã—て完成させたような気がします。そのVに反して他のブラザーé"がほとã‚"ど出てã"ないのは残念。Lover Avengedで主役ã‚'Rhevにしながらも、ブラザーé"ã‚'うまく配置したあのバランス感はã"の作å"ã«ã¯ã‚りませã‚"。

そしてもう一つ残念な点は、必然性のない「過激なシーン」。ã"れが非常に気に障りました。ウォードの描くシーンは過激でもそã"に愛情があるから、よかったのに…。

というã"とでã"の作å"ã¯å†…容的には辛口の星ï¼"つですが、あくまでも「お勧め度」としては星５つです。それはTohrmentが主役の次作、そしてまだまだそã"で終わりそうもないＢＤＢã‚'続ã'て読ã‚"でいくために、結局外せないからです。心から次作に期待します。 Lover Unleashed (Black Dagger Brotherhood, Book 9)

Runes of Royalty (A Demons Fall #4) By G. Bailey

Image
Protector. Angel. Assassin…and now Queen. Evie is now queen of the protectors, and rumoured queen of the demons aswell, but dealing with the black magic she can’t control is far more dangerous than either of those titles. The protectors have fallen, demons along with them, and earth is not far behind. Can Nix, Trex, Connor and Azi help Evie survive a power no one understands? Or knows how to stop… With random portals opening everywhere on earth, a war to be won and Cex tracking her every move, can the assassin-now queen- win the war? Demons will rule. 18+ RH Runes of Royalty (A Demons Fall #4) Runes of Royalty is the perfect conclusion to G Bailey’s A Demon’s Fall series. The emotions, challenges and wonderful storyline will have you addicted to the ending of Evie’s story. This is a series that I highly recommend and dans if G Bailey will definitely enjoy this series. On the plus side to this series ending, it seems that G Bailey will be continuing with this world in ...

Fear Not the Fall/Fannie Lou Hamer: This Little Light By Billie Jean Young

Image
In three dozen poems and a two-act play, MacArthur Fellow Billie Jean Young honors the tradition of struggle, resistance, and survival common to generations of women descended from African slaves. The tradition she dramatizes in her acclaimed portrayal of Fannie Lou Hamer (here for the first time in book form)--the tradition of making a way out of no way--is the same tradition she celebrates in remembering her mother's rub-board hands. Her poetry also reveals the often hidden costs of resistance. In this collection, Young celebrates her personhood as well as her African American womanhood and the power of self-creation and re-creation in the face of personal rejection, abuse, systematic exploitation, and oppression. Organized chronologically, her poems may be read as road markers from her life's journey. For Young, the road is not a freeway; it is not even always paved. It is, however, a familiar path and one many of us can enter. Fear Not the Fall/Fannie Lou Hamer: This Little...
