When Annie claims that she found the manuscript in Paul's attaché, he agrees to let her read it. The bed-ridden writer can do little to remedy the situation or to confirm her assertions that she is the only one who can help him. He is saved by a local woman, Annie Wilkes (Kathy Bates) who happens to be a nurse and his "number one fan." She takes him to her home, dresses his wounds, and begins the process of nursing him back to health, deceitfully promising to call his family and to get him to a hospital whenever the roads clear. On the way out of town, his car slides out of control in a blizzard and crashes well off the main road. Author Paul Sheldon (James Caan), after finishing his final book in a popular historical romance series, leaves the isolated bed and breakfast where he had been staying to take the manuscript back to New York. Based on the Stephen King novel, Misery is a dark, nail-biting (and sometimes humorous) look at celebrity worship. 5/30/2023 0 Comments Pandemic by sonia shahAs Shah traces each stage of cholera?s dramatic journey from harmless microbe to world-changing pandemic, she reports on the pathogens that have followed cholera?s footsteps-from the MRSA bacterium that besieges her own family to the never-before-seen killers emerging from China?s wet markets, the surgical wards of New Delhi, the slums of Port-au-Prince, and the suburban backyards of the East Coast.

So why do I dislike it and like it despite meself? Well the two main characters are bad guy who goes good (Asa) and good girl who goes bad (Mattie). I normally do not put spoilers in me reviews but this shall have some major spoilers and strong language. NetGalley has her book called splinter which is book two of this series but book one was still available to request so I did. See I read one previous book by Sarah Fine that was fun – of metal and wishes. I had major major problems with this book. I do not know how I truly feel about this novel. Publisher: 47North (47North is the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror imprint of Amazon Publishing, the full-service publishing arm of Amazon) Ahoy there me mateys! I received this romance fantasy eARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. |
