![]() ![]() Well, let me just say here: Marian Keyes has only gotten better with age. ![]() For some reason, I forgot about her in the intervening years, and when I saw “Grown Ups” in a bookstore last fall, I immediately grabbed it out of nostalgia, honestly not even expecting much. I spent a few summers in my late teens with the Walsh sisters, reading all of her books poolside. The first book I read by her was “The Other Side of the Story” - I still have my well-loved copy in my bedroom - and I quickly fell in love with her writing style. Review: There are a few authors that I associate with my first “adult” reads: Jane Green, Sophie Kinsella, Emily Giffin, and of, course, Marian Keyes. One careless remark at Johnny's birthday party, with the entire family present, and Cara starts spilling all their secrets.Īs everything unravels, each of the adults finds themselves wondering if it's-finally-the time to grow up. Still, everything manages to stay under control-that is, until Ed's wife, Cara, gets a concussion and can't keep her thoughts or opinions to herself. While some people clash, other people like each other far too much. Under the surface, though, conditions are murkier. Johnny's wife, Jessie-who has the most money-insists on it. ![]() Johnny Casey, his two brothers Ed and Liam, their beautiful, talented wives and all their kids spend a lot of time together-birthday parties, anniversary celebrations, weekends away. Synopsis: They're a glamorous family, the Caseys. ![]() ![]() ![]() All sexually active characters portrayed in this ebook are eighteen years of age or older. ![]() This work of fiction is intended for mature audiences only.

Seriously, Floyd alone would kill them all in 3 seconds with headshots (Ok, that's a nitpick). The only thing that's worth pointing out about the second Task Force X is how they have Deadshot and Deathstroke and yet they are mmissing everyone on Jason's team at the bar where this issue begins. I find weird how some of them are using costumes from The Suicide Squad movie, some from Arkham Origins and some from old comics but that's just an observation. ![]() Yeah, I'm talking about this due to how the last issue ends, with a second Suicide Squad, having Deathstroke as one of its members showing up. Also, I have problems about how Jason Todd is treated, at the end some dialogue feels like a commentary about the character but it simply does not work for me. After all these years, the character has grown out of her "love" for Joker, even having in mind that this is an alternative reality, still kinda jaring seeing how she is written here. Harley Quinn for example, I find somewhat weird how she's treated here. Yeah, it's the Suicide Squad, they' supposed to be replaceable but we should care about them, they should grown and learn as the story progresses, so we feel something when they die. The art and humor are definitely the selling points here, but the story and characters, at least to me, are lacking in weight. The startling conclusion of this Black Label epic rockets to its surprising, yet inevitable, confrontation between The. After what felt like years, this series finally hits its end. ![]() ![]() ![]() He utters the famous line "Et tu, Brute?"

Twisted is the first is this set of books that I have read, and I didn’t feel lost or as if I had missed something as I often do when I pick up a series out of order. She has a cast of characters that sometimes relate to each other as they solve cases, but each novel can stand alone. Laura Griffin’s “Tracers” series is more a set of interconnected novels that a traditional series.
