    The Deceit

    Hmm, hmm, I'll keep my mouth shut for now. But thank you for being surprised by this outcome!
  2. Chapter Twenty-Nine – The Deceit This felt like that time when he had landed in this fantasy land, but worse, much worse, because his entire body hurt, and he was crying out in pain. Kai squeezed his eyes shut as he couldn’t keep them open, the light around him, so gentle before, now aggressive and all-powerful. Somewhere close, Pepin was shouting for him, and there were all kinds of noises, unbearable to his ears. All of a sudden, the pain intensified, and he found himself being pull
  3. Hopefully, in a very surprising direction...
  4. I have quite big plans and this is not the end! I'm going only to say that for now!
  5. Yeah, almost a complete family photo indeed...
  6. So, so sorry about that! But Pepin is just full of surprises!
  7. You said that, and I immediately thought...
  8. You're more than welcome Well, they wouldn't be as much fun as they are right now if they wouldn't be so thick, he-he-he...
  9. I only recently found out about this book from another book I'm currently reading. In Swimming in the Dark, Tomasz Jedrowski's characters bond and have a gay relationship over one lending this book to the other. The action takes place in the still-communist Poland, and Giovanni's Room is at the time an 'unauthorized' read (that's to say illegal). I know it will be a sad story because of the summary, but I know I'll finish it because it's well written. However, I'm not sure I have the guts for Giovanni's Room. I understand its value, and thank you for your review, but reading such books tends to leave me moping for days.
  10. I see that no one has commented under this title, yet, which surprises me a little since I thought a lot of people would have read it... I won't give it a rating because I fear it wouldn't be fair if it were a perfect 5 out of 5, but neither a 4 out of 5, or a 3.5 out of 5. It's beautifully written, yes, a cliche, I know, but it truly is. On the other hand, I cannot agree with you more. It's an eulogy, and I don't know if knowledge of the movie before reading it cast a shadow over my experience, but it did feel like that from the first pages. That made it a painful read, which is why I abstain myself from giving it a final rating. (If forced, I think I'd go with perfect 5) Great review, thank you for writing it!
  11. I've had this one on my back burner for a while... I did read till after the post-office scene, and then got lured away by other reads. Thank you for this review, I think I'll wait for the sequel to come out before I read it.
  12. I did find the book a bit over the top at times, but I think its style played very well into the current generation's most beloved habit, which is to be 'so extra'. I'd say 4 out of 5, and I'm among those readers who would never bother with details like how the British Royals were addressed. It was a light read, and it was enjoyable for what it was.
  13. Chapter Twenty-Eight – When You Become “So, you beat up those jerks to save me and now you don’t even want to look at me?” Milo asked as he turned Sebastian by grabbing him by the shoulder. “No, I don’t want to look at you,” Sebastian replied stubbornly. He truly hoped Tani would be merciful and wise enough to let Milo go without learning the truth. Something told him that Milo wouldn’t take it lightly to having been fooled into believing that, all this time, he had been together with
  14. Ha-ha, people are so convinced there were hidden cameras somewhere... As for your comment directed at me, I claim to be guilty as charged! The angst won't leave us, not too sudden, as for the burns... well, they're still too fresh. Thanks for the comment, as always!
  15. Yes, that's true. Jonathan lost his trust and now he has to find it back. And they will encounter each other soon enough
  16. Oh, gawd... that image...
  17. Thank you for your kind words, Gary!
  18. Mixed feelings, that's a great middle name for Jonathan in particular. Maddox is, I guess, not that far off either.
  19. Hmm, but they were alone in there... and we know that the boys will have their lips sealed about their little encounter... Nonetheless, feel free to speculate, Wes!
  20. That should be the short description of the entire story!
  21. Thank you so much! I'm happy you enjoyed it!
  22. Chapter Five – Trouble Finds You He was totally, absolutely, not stalking Jonathan. But he couldn’t help but notice the guy entering the sports building and heading for the indoor pool by the looks of it. Well, Maddox was much in the mood for a swim, too, and since only students on good behavior were allowed to use such facilities after dark, it meant that Jonathan had been a goody-two-shoes enough to impress the powers that be, which was quite the feat seeing the short time he had been the
  23. Hmm, hmm, not just yet, and it's all I'm saying for now!
  24. Things will happen at the cavern, indeed! Only that they might be a little complicated! (Just my usual MO)
  25. Yeah... I think that she will be surprised big time!
