[ Book] ✓ The Captive PDF by Robert Stallman ß eBook or Kindle ePUB free

In this installment you learn more about the beast which only seemed to confuse me more. While the beast learns more about humanity and being human. Robert Stallman This second book in The Beast Trilogy is much like the first, The Orphan, in its down on the farm focus - whereas I thought the author might shake things up a bit and at some point move our bifurcated main character to a city, or even forward in time, out of the Rural America Depression Era. That didn't happen, but it doesn't matter; the new wrinkle is that in this book, the existence of the Beast, inside her step-father, Barry, is known to one little girl. She thinks of him as the big pussy cat, though up to that point, sightings of the Beast - or even when he spends the early part of this book in a cage - have caused folks to label him a strange bear.

We still learn tantalizingly little about what the Beast actually is, where he is from, or why his existence involves morphing into a malleable human form...malleable, in the sense that he can cast off one human appearance, and personality, and start a new one when necessary - comes in handy when it's time duck growing trouble. A VERY helpful talent to have when the Beast kills...

The Beast is forced to learn that erasing an earlier human version and committing to another one can have consequences; I felt that Book One, The Orphan, cleaned up all loose ends attached to earlier supporting characters, but the author, as I indicated, pokes at what I thought were done deals from The Orphan, while at the same time mixing The Beast/Barry in with a new human family that depends on him. The Big Pussy Cat forms an unexpected bond, that shakes up his natural desire for the safety of solitude and secrecy, with little Mina...and it's lucky for her and her mom, because there's danger looming.

Robert Stallman passed away around the time The Beast Trilogy was being published - lived 1930 to 1980 - and from what I can see, these are the only novels he got to write. A pity, because based on what I've sampled so far, years and years more from him would have been a treat. Looking forward to Book 3, called The Beast. Robert Stallman Another wonderful book cover by Don Maitz apparently. He is one of two amazing SciFi artists I follow. The other is Michael Whelan. Frank Frazetta is in a separate category of course. The Captive Book number two of Stallman's Book of the Beast trilogy. Please see my review of the first book, The Orphan. Paperback

A mysterious bear-like beast that is able to assume the form of a human being tries to learn how people live by adopting a human family. The Captive

[Childrens Book] ì Pirates Love Underpants PDF by Claire Freedman á eBook or Kindle ePUB free

This book came into our household as a birthday gift for one of my children. It has since become a firm favourite. The Black Bloomer and the pants pirates are on the hunt for the famous golden pants to add to their treasure booty. Will they find the famous pants of gold or will another pirate crew get there first? Some children's books are obviously educational, others hide the lessons in the pages. Some books are just plain old fun, and this is one of them. Don't get me wrong there are opportunities for kids to learn, as there are with the majority of children's books. There are footsteps to spot, times when we have to whisper and opportunities to play find the object or count crocodiles under the Long-John bridge (a cracking double joke covering both pirates and underpants in one fell swoop). This is a lovely adventure story for young children. It includes pirates, crocodiles, parrots and underpants so there's lots to appeal. Ben Cort's illustrations are fun and ...

↠ Mistress ☆ PDF Good books to read by ☆ Amanda Quick eBook or Kindle ePUB free

3 stars, would have been 3.5 if the ending wasn’t so abrupt. I want an epilogue! This story was about Iphiginia (worst heroine name ever) and Marcus (an Earl & the hero). The heroine pretends to be the mistress of the hero in order to gain entry into society and figure out who has been blackmailing her aunt. Marcus finds out someone is posing as his lover and comes back to town to confront the heroine. He is immediately enamored by the heroine and decides that he wants to make her his mistress in truth. They then work together to figure out who the blackmailer is. At the end, they are together, but the ending didn’t feel satisfactory. Here are my thoughts... while the writing is really good, the plot requires a reader to suspend their disbelief greatly. First, why does posing as someone’s mistress gain them access to society? She appears out of nowhere, uses her real name with a Mrs. and no one is the wiser? The whole premise seems rather far fetched. Second, the heroine fal...
