I mean all this as a sincere compliment to Felker-Martin's work. I am sure it will challenge many trans readers (like myself) as much as it will challenge cis readers. 'It is gory, and brutal, and sickened me more than any other horror novel I've read in recent memory. 'To be upfront, Manhunt is not for everyone,' his review begins. Gretchen Felker-Martin's novel, Manhunt, has sparked fury over scenes in which 'terfs' (so-called trans-exclusionary radical feminists) including Rowling, meet grisly ends.Īnd now NPR - which has come under fire for its increasingly woke and biased content - has found itself in hot water over journalist Liam McBain's favorable write-up. NPR is coming under fire after it released a gushing review over a twisted horror novel written by a transgender author which gleefully depicts JK Rowling's violent death in a fire.

"A brilliant, twisty thriller-I loved it!" -KAREN M. There’s drama on this book but again, I loved it. They play a big role and standout so much in Twisted Bonds but the author was able to make them have a strong presence without overshadow Nino and Kiara. Nino’s devotion to Kiara is so adorable specially coming from someone who repressed emotions.īut what I really loved about this book, was the secondary characters. They’re a very balanced couple and I loved how they stay strong and side by side, supporting each other, chasing away their fears together. I really liked Kiara, she finally came out of her shell and became someone confident, strong, outspoken and even thought I didn’t agree with some things, her sweet innocent nature is the perfect fit for Nino. He changed since Twisted Emotions yet still feels the same Nino, still truthful to himself and it was nice to follow him in this journey of self discovery. We get to see them evolving individually and as couple, and I absolutely fell in love with Nino. While I felt there was something missing in Twisted Emotions, this book filled those blank spaces. I didn’t connect that fast with Kiara and Nino in Twisted Emotions (love the book) but it changed with Twisted Bonds. The books starts where Twisted Emotions ended and catches Twisted Pride events so I really advice people to read the previous books before starting this one. Twisted Bonds is the continuation of Twisted Emotions, Nino and Kiara’s story. Scroll up to read this fun, quirky romance today. But can I handle more than one mate?

I was excited to see that my library had this picture-book, as I have recently become quite interested in Richards' work - I read her five-volume Hildegarde series recently, and hope to do the same with her Margaret series - most of which is out of print, and no longer circulating in public libraries. A rhythmic celebration of a train, a baby, and the journey they make (real? imaginary?) together, Jiggle Joggle Jee! takes it title from the poem's refrain (meant to simulate the sounds of a train on the tracks), and provides an entertaining bedtime book.
