![]() ![]() (How many literal and figurative references to "pod people" have you seen?) The actual novel turned out to be somewhat underwhelming - it was okay, but mostly earned its place in the SF canon for introducing a few particularly creepy ideas (like the idea that your loved ones could be replaced by perfect dopplegangers overnight) and being made into a classic B movie which has been remade several times since. ![]() The Body Snatchers is one of those modern classics that created a lot of science fiction tropes and has a disproportionate impact on popular culture. ![]() Silently, subtly, almost imperceptibly, alien life-forms were taking over the bodies and minds of his neighbors, his friends, his family, the woman he loved - the world as he knew it.įirst published in 1955, this classic thriller of the ultimate alien invasion and the triumph of the human spirit over an invisible enemy inspired three major motion pictures.

Laura Nilsson is a journalist, reporting on the war in the Middle East. Lots of delicious, illicit sex in a Dubai hotel room. First Strike does a good job of setting the tone of the relationship between the hero and heroine, Javier and Laura, and I felt it helped me appreciate their journey later. It’s been periodically featured for free, so it’s worth checking out. I recommend reading First Strike, the prequel novella to Striking Distance first. If someone told me “it’s a book where a reporter is kidnapped by al Qaeda and then rescued by her former lover who’s also a Navy SEAL, but it’s, you know, believable,” I would have said “ Shhhhhahhhh, no way.” And I would have been wrong.Ī word of advice. Even Liam Neeson can’t pull that shit off convincingly. I mean, people do not fall in love with their exes while on the run from a serial killer/drug warlord/human trafficking ring. I love romantic suspense, but it tends to require I do a lot of disbelief suspending. I also learned that it is possible to have a romantic suspense book that is feels entirely authentic and real. Today I learned that if you ground up a mouse and ate it, it would contain about 57% protein (this from our vet, I am not Googling “mouse protein content”). I love being surprised and learning new things. ![]() ![]() ![]() Amidst a wilderness of ice and stone, Griffin must either face his greatest fear-or lose everyone he loves.Hoarfrost is the sixth book in the Whyborne & Griffin series, where magic, mystery, and m/m romance collide with Victorian era America.
