“Deeper. Darker. Dirtier.”

That’s how you spot a rip. Every kid on the Victorian coast knows it, drilled into them young by the lifeguards who keep them alive.

Harry used to be one of those kids. Now he’s back in Lorne, standing between the flags, trying to remember everything he thought he understood.About the ocean. About himself. About Louis Tomlinson.

Sometimes rips aren’t always in the water. Sometimes they’re the things that drag you under when you thought you were safe.

Episode 1: Odd Dead Fellows (part 1)

Epilogue. Christmas Day. I haven’t felt this excited waking up on Christmas morning since I was a kid. I get ready as fast as I can.

If the bird’s so relatively easy to get to, why doesn’t the dragon merchant retrieve the bird himself? Sure, he looked to be in his late fifties, but would it be so hard to grab a ladder and snatch the bird out of its nest? Not that I should…

The dragon merchant is no longer in the middle of the market. I find him parked by the last stalls, the crowd around him gone. I peer into the cart. There is only one dragon left, and two eggs. The dragon is cute. No bigger than a kitten, with sparkling purple scales and two little horns. It yawns and curls into a ball, closing its eyes. “Tis all I got for this season, not sure when I can get…

Pieces of Us by N.R. Walker

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A stunning conclusion to one of the best series’ N.R. Walker has produced.

As Dallas and Justin continue to get used to life post his traumatic brain injury, things are moving along nicely when a figure from the past comes along to put a spanner in the works.

I’ve loved every one of these books all for the same reason – they perfectly…
