This is a slight student/teacher romance. Lessons in Corruption: Book one in the series starts with a bang. So The Fallen Men series is in the middle at the moment for sure. It’s on the tamer side of some of the MC romances I’ve read with the Hades Hangman series being one of the darkest. But that does come along with the MC romance genre.Īt the moment this series is in the middle of being dark – but I feel that it will go there for sure as the series goes on. These are MC and age gap romances, therefore, some things happen throughout the series that is questionable at times. Trigger Warnings: Abuse, Abduction, Neglect, Torture, Death, Cancer. But today I’m sharing my thoughts of the first four books in the series. Book five Inked in Lies is due to release later this month and I’m so excited. ![]() ![]() But I thought it was time for me to write a full series review of the books that are currently out.

It actually makes you yearn for more information, dragging your heighten-interest along the way and keeps up the momentum to finally gave you a shocking horror, straight to your face. I'm actually pretty hyped up after watching it!!! The acting is great, the pace is good and basically got a different presentation to make this into a not boring "typical-exorcism" movie. That's pretty much how all exorcism related movie goes. ![]() ![]() The priest then try to find a much more experienced priest to help him and finally able to rid the devil for good, but with the cost of someone's life. The priest done it successfully (or so he thought) only to find that the demon hasn't really left the child. A priest got the information and try to help exorcise the demon. Some devil possessing a child (or someone), (usually) the parents got distracted over the fact and try to find a way to rid the devil. You see, most of the exorcism will always start with the same process. This book dives right into an unbelievable case. A devout Catholic, Sarchie along with co-writer Lisa Collier Cool interweave fascinating case studies with practical advice. He is also a paranormal investigator trained by Ed and Lorraine Warren. I thought this is just another typical exorcism movie. Ralph Sarchie is a veteran NYPD police officer. So, when I see that Deliver Us From Evil has arrived, I too didn't really put up too much hope. ![]() Too similar with the process and the pace. I mean, some of the exorcism-theme movies I've watched is pretty decent if not too ordinary. It's been a while since I found a decent exorcism movie. ![]() ![]() ![]() (Some credit also needs to go to Ann Smith at Roosevelt Elementary as well as the awesome teachers at Hough Elementary in the Vancouver, WA, Public School District, but I digress.) Some credit needs to go to Mary Pope Osborne and her series of books. Recently, she has returned from her school library with both The Helpand Uncle Tom’s Cabin. Wonderful stuff! To this day, my twelve year old loves historical fiction. The great San Francisco earthquake and the sinking of the Titanic are about people, not dates. Most importantly to this old history major, The Magic Tree House taught my children to understand history as the stories of people who lived in the past, not a random bunch of facts. Mary Pope Osborne has created snappy, quick stories which are full of the kind of simple adventures grade school minds crave. First of all, they are fantastic for kids who read at about a third grade level. ![]() The relationship I have with the Magic Tree Houseseries of books can’t exactly be called love/hate, more like love/mildly irritated. ![]() |
