![]() ![]() This is Langley’s longest and biggest series, with a short book, three long ones, five short stories and a coming soon long book □ I have already read all of them and my favorite is With Abandon ❤ This series has one book and an apparently coming soon volume, but I won’t put my hand into the fire for this release, haha!

This series has two books and one short story and it’s complete. This was my first series by her and I still love the first book, The Tin Star ❤ Gay cowboys?

Speakers experience the biological as ephemeral, all the while bewildered by the promise of transformation. Through the creation of portraits and landscapes, Brown fashions an exhibit of dynamic lyricism and word play. Acute observations are captured with music and tangled in emotion. Rebbecca Brown's prose poetry collection renders birds, beasts, and surroundings from the lens of an artist who structures form with feeling.

She wore an elegant red and black peony cheongsam made of silk. Her black hair was neatly and tightly folded against her head and wrapped into a chignon secured by wooden hairpins. Inside the limo was Delilah Nakova, in all of her graceful beauty and down to earth charm, sporting a mysterious, Asian look. At 8 p.m., Evan closed his front door and approached Delilah Nakova’s limousine, parked outside of his apartment, as if it were some exotic space ship that was about to take him to another world. Evan totally forgot about the posse because of the unforgettably surreal experience with Delilah Nakova that began on the night of April 6, just a few hours after Carolina’s deposition ended. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The narrator speculates that the lack of civil liberties, isolation from civilization, and lack of stability in the colony caused latent internal tensions which would contribute to the events depicted in the play.

Carpenter is back this time he’s the one trying to rescue souls. ![]() After various adventures and encounters with the damned, Benny makes it out of Hell and Carpenter goes back to try and rescue others.
