Hello,
I feel kind of off
balance since there's no new Orphan Black to rave about this week. LOL
But... Defiance held up against its premiere,
no complaints. In fact, I'm really enjoying the shift in dynamics. The mayor
totally creeps me out, and that's a good thing. The actor who plays him is one
of my faves and it's fun to see him in something of a villainous role. And not
that I have any expectations, but I'm thrilled Nolan and Amanda aren't dancing
around each other and drawing crap out. Doesn't bode well, I'm sure, but half
the fun of watching is to see where the writers take things.
Oddly, Dominion is keeping my attention, too.
Didn't have loads of confidence, but I still want to find out what happens
next. I also finished a rewatch of Bitten
and I'm on the second season of a Canadian show—Arctic Air. I have a list of shows from Canada I'm looking forward
to watching. Stay tuned. J
Tonight's post is
from Oracle's Prayer, a novella where the main characters start out playing a
game of cat and mouse.
Here's the tagline:
Nason Forn, the daughter of an oracle, goes undercover to
trap a wicked mage preying on young apprentices and thinks she's found her man
when she discovers Lane Garganess standing over the body of the latest victim.
But Lane has a covert identity, too, which puts him in a bad spot and on the
wrong end of Nason's wrath.
And a preview snippet…
Nason stumbled into the chamber
and stopped short. A robed man stood over the prone—and no doubt
dead—apprentice. She hadn't made it in time. Dammit, dammit, dammit.
Her less than quiet entrance drew
the man's attention and he slowly angled around, attempting to face her. Thinking
quickly, she cast a binding spell and halted his progress. She darted forward
and threw back his hood, wanting to look into the eyes of the monster before
she choked the life out of him with her bare hands.
But when she stepped away, a gasp
escaped her throat. "You!" Shocked, she lost control of the binding
spell and he lunged, grasping her biceps in a biting grip.
He said one word.
"Sleep."
Her eyes slammed shut and her
world went dark.
Really short
snippet tonight, but I hope it whets the appetite for more. J
That's it for this
week.
Cheers!
Skye
