So this was a short, fun read. The tension and pacing definitely kept me awake and the pages turning! I particularly enjoyed it for seeing how the author kept things happening, setting the pace high and never letting it slack. The setting was great, too; in isolated Scotland with all the mists and mysteries that go along with it. The main character, Maria, was well drawn and definitely going through something terrible, which became clearer as the story unfolded (though admittedly the truth about what happened to her mother felt off to me). The story itself reminded me the most of Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, with a heathy sprinkling of Jane Eyre tossed in as well. Overall, a fun read with a refreshingly realistic ending that I appreciated. If you're looking for something a little dark, a little suspenseful, and definitely a little creepy, check this one out!

I went into this novel a little wary of some of the concepts: I work closely with many Native American populations and individuals and am very aware of the stereotypes that arise in literature. Many times it's downright painful. Thankfully I felt that Wisseman managed to take a relatively authentic view of the population...well, with added magic. And this magic was not just found in Native Americans, nor part of their faith or society (something that J. K. Rowling has received a good deal of criticism for in some of her recent releases that utilize Native American society as "magical"). That is a whole other story :) Anyhow, Wisseman presents an interesting novel here, one that I did enjoy. I will admit that it was a bit tedious at times, as the pacing would slow a great deal. A huge amount of inner dialogue left me skimming at time. Also Naysin's "fathers," who possess him, get a huge chunk of the ending of the novel, which bogged things down for me. I never felt a connection to them, and their story didn't draw me in. Overall, this was an interesting alternate history. I did really like how Wisseman took pains to show what happened to Native American society in the face of the overwhelming death toll that Smallpox took on the continents when Europeans brought it here (and people think the Black Death was bad--it had nothing on what happened in the Americas). If you are into historical fiction with a dash of magic, this is one to check out.

Okay, let me start by stating that Murphy does a very good job of tackling a situation with the amount of horror and pain that struck me as appropriate for the kind of situation Katie went through (kidnapping, rape, being chained to the wall, basically anyone's worst nightmare). Katie comes across as real and very much struggling, rightfully, because of what she went through. Ethan, on the other hand, the son of the man who did all this to Katie and was responsible for freeing her, well, he just kind of made me ill. I don't care how you feel about a person, but stalking them and lying like he did is just WAY over the line. I brought this up last week on the blog mainly because I was reading this book and found myself being disgusted by Ethan's actions. That's entirely the wrong signal to send anyone: just because you love them, it's okay to completely trounce all over their personal boundaries and then lie to them. Yeah. It pissed me off. To the point that I just kept reading in hopes that Katie would find out and push Ethan off the ferris wheel or something. Honestly, I don't really have any urge to keep reading this series; Ethan crosses too far into territory that is just like his homicidal father and I was throughly grossed out.

So I went into this one not sure what to expect, and it definitely had an interesting twist: Eve rejected the serpent in the Garden of Eden and we ended up with mortals being immune from death. Well, up to an extent. Interesting, right? It was cool to see how Frost set up a world where people live for ages and there is no worry about disease or injury. The opening, especially, is fascinating. I did find myself thinking that she relied too heavily on how our world works, however, to set things up. This may have been to ensure some kind of familiarity as a backdrop for understanding the main character's life and ideals, but otherwise I did think that there would be some larger discrepancies if this were truly set in such a world (as in, why high school if you live for centuries, at least?). Still, it was interesting and kept the pages turning. The love interest was a little one-off for me, but in general interesting and I did like watching the way their relationship built. Anyhow, overall a decent read and an entertaining one. I'll probably catch the next title in the series :)

Thanks to the publisher and LibraryThing for a free copy in exchange for my honest review.

So it's been a while since I've read a high fantasy, and I still find myself not terrifically sold on them. Well, some of them. Tolkien is still a master. But other times I find myself not as immersed in the world, nor as able to identify (or care about) the main character. This is just my guess, but sometimes it seems that so much effort goes into explaining the new world, how it works, and what makes it unique, that there doesn't seem to be the same amount of time in delving into the character and bringing them to life in quite the same way that we see in other novels. Willet Dura, who is an interesting character, basically tells us how he is and while the novel does bear this out, I didn't find myself too terribly concerned if he lived or died. I will say that the concept of Gifts--those with extraordinary abilities that could be passed along--is quite interesting and I enjoyed it. There was a ton of intrigue and twists and turns in the book, but not enough to really captivate me. Overall, definitely a decent book, but not on my list of favorites this year.

I've never actually read a cell phone novel before. I've heard of them, but this was a first for me, and in some ways this was a lot like reading a novel in verse, with short chapters (often only about a page), and quick and simple descriptions. It was interesting. And, honestly, I think the format is fun, and definitely makes for a quick read. Still, I had some issues with this novel. I wanted to enjoy it, and I definitely enjoyed reading about some of the awesome places I got to visit while in Japan, but I just had a hard time with the characters. They were a little more difficult to identify with than I cared for, which made things tedious. Their emotions rocketed all over the place and there was no firm grasp of their motivations. Which is probably more accurate for teens than I care to admit, but still, it made for trying reading. Anyhow, definitely a fun format, and it made me miss Japan (and the amazing food...what I wouldn't give for some good Japanese food, haha!), but just not a novel for me.

Thanks to LibraryThing for this novel in exchange for my honest review.

I requested this novel thinking that it sounded interesting. I mean, a younger person with a bucket list that's somehow tied to saving the world? Yeah, sounds kind of interesting, right? And it was, on some levels. But here's my beef with the story: London was not so easy for me to like. Well, I won't go into what I thought about doing to her, but let's just say that I work with students her age all day, every day, and sometimes they're mature and have their head on straight, and other times you wonder if they somehow skipped from 12 to their twenties. Not trying to be harsh, but London was just rather immature. And it kind of annoyed me that she lets this random stranger, Adam, into her life, and then lets him take over her bucket list. I mean, it's a bucket list: something she wants to do before she dies! Shouldn't she want to do these things, somehow, on her own? I don't know, it just felt off to me. In some ways it felt like this was an MG that had been converted to a NA book. Buuuut, this might be just me. I did find that there was no romance in the book kind of interesting and unique--not what you're expecting from the start, but a realistic and refreshing take on the situation. Anyhow, overall, not exactly my favorite read, but definitely something an advanced younger reader could read as it's very clean.

This is a review based on the first two books of the series, as I read them together:

I went into these novels with a whole lot of excitement, as they're quite different from my normal fare, but looked fantastic! Plus, because my writing has been veering in the "adult" direction more and more lately, I have been feeling remiss that I haven't been reading as widely in that area. Anyhow, both books were intensely interesting, with a really fascinating slant on magic and both vampires and werewolves. I rather liked the characters, especially Sadie, though Jackdaw (who goes by Jack), always felt a step removed from the reader--I still don't feel like I have a good sense of her personality or really anything beyond her condition. Interwoven in both books is the story of Edward Kelley, while he either starts or is involved in some of origins of what Jack is facing in the modern portion of the book. This is a clever was to tell the story, though Kelley himself doesn't draw me in as much and I found myself wanting to skip those chapters (I didn't) to get on with Jack's tale. I imagine this is always the hazard with dual narratives--one is always more interesting than the other :) Other than that, I did find the pacing to be a bit off in both books, but I do wonder if that's because I have been reading quite a lot of YA where pacing it expected to, well, keep up. Here, the beginnings were good, but the middle lagged, often up until the last couple of chapters. It made for some show more sleepy reading a few times, I'll admit. Anyhow, this is a long-winded reviews, mainly because the books were complex with a lot that both drew me in and left me wanting more. show less

Thanks to the author and LibraryThing for a review copy of this book.

This was one really different read, and even after finishing it a couple of weeks ago, I don't know what to make of it. It was interesting, engaging, and definitely different. The Banshee in the novel was an interesting creature (even with the really horrible moniker of Bansh :). I liked her and how she handled Jared and his insecurities and issues. I don't know how she managed it at some points, because I found myself wanting to reach through the pages and slap Jared up the side of the head with a "hello, don't be such a wuss!" (Not that I'd ever do that in real life, but just to give you an idea of some of his troubles--he does mature throughout the book, which was gratifying.) The world and situation they were in, with some crazy interdimensional struggles and quite terrifying bad guys, was both really original...and sometimes made me wonder if there was any order or reason for why certain things happened. I don't want to get specific for fear of spoilers, but some aspects of the world didn't feel organic, more like they were placed in the world just to make things either problematic/convenient for the characters (okay, one small example--the Banshee couldn't lose connection with the ground, so no riding in cars or getting off of floor level. But what about basements? Or underground tunnels?). So, those kind of made me a little confused. Still, it was an interesting ride of a book and definitely show more enjoyable. show less

I haven't read anything in the magical realism genre in quite a while, and this felt pretty close. I reflected several times that this novel had a One Hundred Years of Solitude by Gabriel García Márquez feel to it. The characters were well fleshed out and interesting, though I'll admit to not feeling terribly connected to them. Molly kind of irked me, as some of her behavior felt over the top. Tom was interesting, and I would have probably enjoyed reading the entire novel about just him. It's funny how that happens--being drawn to one character and not the rest. Otherwise, the novel was well written and set up, though there were some slow parts and I did feel as drawn into it as I would have liked. I guess I would say it's just not my kind of book.

I have a confession: I haven't read Water for Elephants, nor have I seen the film. It's just not something I've been particularly interested in. However, throw in the Lock Ness monster, Scotland, and WWII? Well, that's another thing altogether. I went into this really excited, but I soon found myself a little less than enthused about Maddie. Let's be honest: she's kind of frustrating, particularly at the beginning. Self-centered, entitled, way too rich--pretty much characteristics that leave me a little put-off. She does grow quite a bit throughout the novel, and did grow on me as well, though I still found her a bit weak, even at the end. However, I don't think that all female characters must be crazy strong, as diversity in strength of character is needed as well. I just don't do so well with weaker females. Still, I did find her situation interesting and enjoyed her transformation. Her husband is horrific and I felt that part of the novel was particularly well done, even if it left a sour taste in my mouth. The romance left something to be desired, as I really didn't feel like the characters got to know one another at all and it almost came off as insta-love. Now, a strong Scottish man can pull this off, but Outlander has set the bar too high to be reached by many other Highlander men ;)

Overall, this was an interesting read and insight into a different social strata and way of life during the war. I found it engaging and definitely ripped through the novel, though show more overall I did find parts of it lacking. show less

Honestly, I don't think I've ever read something quite like this. I enjoyed it, but it was distinctly different, both in the mythology that was used, as well as the voice. Becca was an interesting character, flawed but relatable. Her growth was definitely done well. That being said, I never felt a deep connection with her, though perhaps that's just me. The story itself was creepy and fascinating, and the way the pieces wound together kept me reading. I did find myself wishing I knew a little more about Becca's family and background, as they were all kinds of different, though Wynne was quite good at giving enough details to allow the reader to figure out what was necessary for the story. Overall, it was an interesting read and well written. I'd pick up one of Wynne's other books for sure.

Okay, here's the thing: I've decided that I'm not too much of a fun of books set on spacecraft. I really don't know why this is, but it's the truth. I have a hard time with them, even when it comes to books like this where the craft is gigantic and most of the time it's not like they're on a ship at all. Except for the roving bands of really bored people. That being said, there was still some fun aspects to this book that kept me reading. For starters, it was hilarious. Laura and Bruce made me laugh quite a bit. And the antics that happen onboard were enough to keep me interested, if not a little frustrated at times (bureaucratic nonsense at it's finest), and I did find myself cheering on Laura and her quest to keep the ship together. There were definitely parts where I wondered why things were drawn out quite so much (and often this seemed to be more for a witty punchline than anything else), and I skimmed a bit when it was more tedious than I really needed/cared for. Overall, it's an interesting book, though not as high up my list as some others!

Thanks to LibraryThing and Penelope Pipp Publishing for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

I really wasn't sure what to expect from this novel, but when I opened it up I was pleasantly surprised to be drawn right into the story and characters that left me engaged and interested all the way through. Actually, I read this on a flight and didn't put it down the whole time, even to sleep. In particular, I enjoyed the setting--probably my favorite thing about the book--as it was so well depicted. I've always wanted to visit Malaysia and other parts of that region of the world and had a great time reading about them. Sam was a great character with a lot of courage and a fascinating story. There were a few times I got lost with the secondary characters, and there's a lot of shifting settings between the boarding school and Sam's island of Torundi, but overall I really enjoyed the novel!

Thanks to Candlewick Press and LibraryThing for a copy of this in exchange for an honest review.

Wow, was this a creepy read! Well, the first third or so at least had me kind of wishing I wasn't reading it late at night. After we are shown what was going on a bit more, it wasn't as freaky, but still, it's one heck of a story! I loved the setting and language in this one: the place (Ireland in the 70's) was spot-on for the story, and Kiernan has a way with words that pulls you in and paints such a lovely picture of the setting. Both sets of twins in the book were quite interesting, especially as all that happens unfolds. Personally, my favorite characters were the mom and the grandmother, as I loved their reactions and how inexorably real they felt, but basically the entire book was filled with people I wouldn't be surprised to run into on the street. And the ghosts? What a story! Not to give anything away, but their story will stick with you for sure. Overall, this was a great read, very atmospheric and chilling, but also a story of brotherly love and friendship. I highly recommend it!

Thanks to LibraryThing and William Morrow for the opportunity to read this series and provide an honest review.

I've read this entire series and found it both interesting and entirely freaky. It's hard for me to read about what happens to the United States in these books and not be concerned that there's a real chance that something similar could happen today. While the shift toward viewing women as property is facilitated by a massive plague in the series (a side story that I wish got more attention), I don't think it's far-fetched that, given the right set of circumstances, it could totally happen today. This was something that had me thinking quite a lot while reading and long after I finished. It's a terrifying thought--and while I may sound like I'm paranoid--those things going on with our government right now make me so frustrated that the denigration of women's rights even more wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Okay, I'll get off my soap-box now, but if in any way you're interested in this sort of thing, I recommend this series. The writing itself leaves something (okay, a lot of things) to be desired, though the story is nearly compelling enough to carry it. Stoker isn't much for showing, so the story itself is really all telling (it's a good example of the difference, actually), but it's interesting and while Mia's a bit hard to believe or relate to, I did find myself rooting for her and her cause. Basically, I'd recommend these books to those who have a bit show more of a political bent and enjoy a particularly dark dystopian. show less

Thanks to LibraryThing and Candlewick Press for this awesome read!

This book would be so easy to sum up as: just go read it!!! Seriously, it was utterly awesome. As in, I stayed up into the wee hours, laughing my rear end off, and LOVED it. The main character, Cyn, has the best voice I've read in a very long time, and I was completely captivated by it. The story was spooky, and while being rather sinister (there are definitely demons of the hellish variety), it was almost farcical in some regards just because of the main character's voice. I don't know if that's the best way to describe it, but honestly, I loved it. I would have liked to see a bit more about a particular random guy, Adam, who played a small role and felt a little, well, convenient in places, but otherwise, I just got a real kick out of the story. And Ryan? (Yeah, partial to the name for obvious reasons...) Totally swoonworthy. And I enjoyed watching Cyn's attraction, and reaction, toward him. To top things off, I was really gratified to see an awesome friendship between Cyn and her BFF. Cyn wasn't willing to just give up on her friend and was willing to go to hell and back (literally) for her. That won major points from me! Basically, if you're up for an awesome teen voice and great read, this one's for you!

And if you think you like the sound of Evil Librarian, definitely check out An Absence of Light--I definitely think the two have a similar market.

This was an interesting read: not something I've ever really encountered before, but I enjoyed it for its uniqueness. The stories both incorporate a similar snippet, which the two authors use to create two worlds and two vastly different stories. Both were interesting and drew me in completely. I did find the second story to be more to my personal taste, and I really loved the ghost aspect to it, along with some twists and turns that were a bit obvious, but still fun. In all, this was a quick read, quite enjoyable, and definitely different! Worth checking out for sure :)

Thanks to Medallion Press for a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was an interesting and engaging read. I have to say that my favorite parts were the descriptions of the settings. I loved getting to see some of the fascinating places the characters went, which were described with an awesome eye to detail and drew me into them like I was actually there. The plot felt a little unfocused in places, and while I liked Gabriel, and especially Mika (AKA Michael), there was a bit of disconnect for me in feeling any true identity with them or what they faced. (Okay, that's probably to be expected--they're facing some crazy stuff, but you know what I mean!) I did almost put the book down early on when the trope of "it's just a theory" was thrown around in regards to a prominent scientific theory, because honestly that just bugs me to no end. Figure out the scientific theory before you decide to use that, otherwise I'm going to question all of the research that goes into your book. (Ummm, yeah, a bit of a rant there. I can't help it! It's what I teach for a living.) Anyhow, otherwise, this was an interesting read and I found myself enjoying the fast pace and interesting settings. I'm not sure if there will be more books in the series, but I'd read them!

I think the best way to describe this novel is Outlander meets Discovery of Witches. Considering how much I adored both of those novels, this instantly went on my to-be-re-read shelf because I honestly loved it. The opening, with such a frank description of academia (which rang incredibly true to life), drew me in, and then Carthage was such an interesting place that I could hardly put the book down. The main character, Nathan, wrestles with demons I have seen quite a bit of in those that I work with. Academia attracts several types of people, and to be honest, one of those types often struggles against depression (or several related troubles that are often, inappropriately I know, grouped together). In the characters growth and experiences, I found myself rooting for him, and completely wishing I could move to Carthage (except for the winters--give me somewhere warm!). A little interesting twist on the inhabitants, and well, I was all in. I don't want to give away too much, because that's part of the allure of the novel, but this was an amazing book that I highly recommend. I'll be re-reading it this autumn for sure.

Thank you to the publisher for a copy of this novel in exchange for a review (and LibraryThing for facilitating!)

This was not my general choice for what to read, but it was definitely interesting and engaging. I will first note that if you have a weak stomach, this probably isn't the book for you, as it's pretty graphic in the blood and guts department, but that's not something I have a problem with, so it wasn't a problem for me. In general, this is definitely a plot driven book, with a ton of action, which was quite a bit of fun. I basically thought of it as being a lot like Wolverine meets Dan Brown conspiracy theories. The world that was depicted was really fascinating, with people who have the ability to be augmented ("aug"ed), which can give them a variety of skills, from being able to be healed, to see the future. At first it's billed as just a new drug that allows for these enhancements, but as the novel progresses, the truth comes to light...and it isn't pretty. Tying in the nephelim was what originally caught my attention, and without giving away anything more, it was really kind of cool. Anyhow, overall if you're looking for a good beach read (and don't mind a little b&g) then this one's for you!

I've seen several of Dalton's books around and was curious about them, so I jumped at the chance to read White Heart. I was no disappointed! I really enjoyed reading about Mae and her world, the magic therein, and all the adventures she goes through. The Waerg Woods had some crazy surprises hidden within it, and I enjoyed watching Mae battle her way through them. She was an amazingly strong character, with flaws of course, but still, I appreciated her tenacity and unwillingness to give up. Her relationship with Casimir was a bit predictable, but I liked the Ellen-element and found myself still drawn into their tale. Basically, this was a fun, quick read, with one heck of a cliffhanger ending that has left me hoping for the next book soon!

I received a copy of this book through LibraryThing in exchange for my honest opinion. And that opinion: I like this series, but the writing kind of bothers me. I noticed this in the first book, The Registry, but in this book it started to grate on me. Maybe it's just my inner editor, but the entirety of this book is telling and not showing. So, I know I can be guilty of this in my own writing, but I do try to avoid it. This book, however, is entirely full of it, which is okay I guess, but makes it hard to really get in touch with the characters, or feel any emotional depth to their experiences. The story is engaging, though deeply disturbing in the way women are treated and thought of, which was interesting enough to keep me reading. I have to admit, though, that I felt like it was far too easy to fall out of the story when I'd stumble across a line that made me want to turn on track-changes. Anyhow, I enjoy the incredibly horrific storyline of these, but I will sample the next book before I buy it, to see if the writing is any more to my liking.

Thanks to Mr. Montgomery for a copy of this in exchange for my honest review!

This book has one of the most unique worlds that I have stumbled across in quite a while. I found it totally engaging and honestly have found myself thinking about it quite a bit even while not reading. The thought of being able to live in a "museum" like someone out of a different time completely appeals to me. Now, I kind of doubt I'd do it, but as an anthropologist the whole "going native" thing is brought to a whole new level with this concept. It would be incredibly interesting to attempt to live like they did in the past. Granted, I kind of like showers and central heat/air so I don't know how long I'd fare (I did a dig for 3 months in a tent with no running water...not so eager to repeat that), but it's interesting to think about. Anyhow, the book itself did have some issues with copy-editing, which in general doesn't bother me too much but did get confusing here and there, and also had some pacing issues where I felt things got really bogged down from time to time. However, it was still an interesting read.

Looking for a really fun read with a great world, a strong heroine, yummy guys, and an edge-of-your-seat story? Then you're totally going to love THE PROPHESY. Plenty of intrigue keeps this fast-paced story moving, especially a crazy enemy with the power to influence the hearts and minds of the characters. I loved reading about the world Albert created, and especially how Layla is faced with impossible choices--and two distinctly amazing guys :) I'm definitely on team Wil! If you love high fantasy with a setting that makes you feel like you're right in the room with the characters, this is going to be a book you'll love!

I really enjoyed the first book in this series and the tough issues it took on in the form of teen bullying. Book #2 doesn't disappoint, this time tackling school violence with a frightening level of accuracy. Throw in a bit of fun, some great characters that are realistic and completely identifiable, and a whole ton of stuff going on, and this book was difficult to put down. West has a serious knack for depicting a high school environment that's so real I swear I can smell the cafeteria and see the hallways. He's a talented author, and his books have a great balance of funny and serious (I definitely shouldn't leave out the funny--holy crud were there times I was laughing so hard!). I didn't see the ending coming at all, and loved the twist. Overall, this is a great series by a talented author and I definitely recommend checking it out!

I so totally love Faith's books. Honestly, it's such a treat to nab them up and enjoy them. Meant For Me was no exception. The first couple of chapters...well, they definitely kept me glued to the pages! LOL! Quite steamy to say the least :) And Lauren? Wow, it's not possible to write how much a loathe her. Faith does a great job of giving us Lauren's (twisted) logic behind her actions, too, which I really enjoyed. Also, I liked getting to see into Will's head more, as he has a lot more complexity than I would have thought. Of course I was swooning over Eric, and praying everything worked out with Ivy's tenuous pregnancy (wow does she go through a lot in this book--poor girl!!). Basically, this was a super fun read, a great escape, and overall just an awesome book! Don't miss out on this series!

I picked this book up thinking, "Wow, this is exactly the kind of thing I'll enjoy!" I mean, angels, romance, strange immortals, well, those are things I generally really find fun in a book. And then I started reading. And I honestly couldn't get into this book at all. I really hate to say this, but I don't know why I bothered finishing it. By halfway through, I knew it wasn't going to get any better. I just have a hard time putting a book down. It's like I'm failing it or something :) Anyhow, I really had no connection with any of the characters, felt like the explanations for the Siders, and their random "touch" were not explained at all, and well, just really couldn't get into it. And a few times I wanted to just tell the characters to stop fighting--that they just needed to grow up a bit. (Okay, yeah, I know, they're teens, but they were acting much younger...) Anyhow, yeah, just really not my kind of book. Not at all interested in seeing what happens in the next books either. I hate writing reviews like this, but honestly, I definitely should have just put this one down and read something else.

So, I totally and utterly loved this book. As in, devoured it, despite the very limited reading time I currently have. Did it screw up some basic evolutionary principles? Yes. Did I have to skip a few parts because I found myself going "ack! Not how science works!!"? Yes. Still, totally and utterly loved it. I know there are a few reasons why: I love history. I adore Oxford. I have a soft spot for immortal creatures and all they've seen. And I really liked Diana's voice. Well, more so at the start of the novel when she seems much more put together and stronger than later on (and even though I totally understand what broke her down, I found myself wanting to tell her, "hey, you are a strong person--act like it!" (I apparently had a lot of conversations with these pages!) Anyhow, overall, very fun read, and I can't wait to check out the next one, because hello Time Travel!

It's rare for me to come across the second book in a series that I liked more than the first. Whether that be because not particularly enjoying the first means I don't often pick up the second, or for some other reason, I don't know, but this was a case where I loved the second book in the series. The first just didn't draw me in as much; however, this one really did. I loved Elisa's voice in this book, her struggles, her growth. Also, Hector, well, he was swoon-worthy :) I was invested in Elisa becoming a better queen, in solving the problems of her country, and attempting to find a way to do that. Also, Storm was just a fascinating character to me, and I liked getting to know a bit more about the Inviernos. Plus, the hints of Spanish and culture made me happy. The cliff-hanger of an ending left me happy to know I can go out and grab The Bitter Kingdom right now!
