Corrupt (Devil's Night Book 1)

Product Information

Rika's body always TINGLED whenever SCARY MICHAEL was in the room and he's her ONE TRUE LOVE since childhood too! *dreamy*. nvm I was actually getting second-hand embarrassment from her povs. She would've cut off her limbs just to have Michael touch her, so HER NOT EVEN TRYING TO GET A LITTLE APOLOGY FROM MICHAEL and letting him touch her was expected. I saw him. I heard him. The things that he did, and the deeds that he hid…For years, I bit my nails, unable to look away. I read this 2 days ago and I still can't stop thinking about it. There was one particular scene that really threw me and made me wonder if it was really necessary. However, after giving it some though, it was barely a blip on my radar. I also wished for a bit of something from Michael at the end (I won't say what because I'm a teasing bitch like that) but you'll see what I mean once you read it. But once again, thinking on it some more, Penelope stayed true to his character, and having him handle it any other way would not have been that. So I can respect that.

He was a sadist, and my little heart just had to go pitter-patter the second his yanks, grabs, and pulls turned into gentle caresses and his frowns, scowls, and snarls turned into whispers. In high school, they’d called them the Four Horsemen. Star athletes, best friends, nothing touched them. They were invincible. I honestly did not expect this dirt from Penelope Douglas. She was nearly the only NA writer for me whose books were decent in this genre. Why did she have to go and write porn?! And why did she have to wrap it up and offer it to us as romance?! It is not love. I am not a prude. I am not against eroticism. I love hot sex in books. But pornography is disgusting, in my opinion. Earlier I added that I also think very low of people enjoying porn, but a comment from a friend of mine showed me that it is a little bit judgmental to call people names publicly for their tastes. Yes, it's everyone's business what to watch, read and do behind closed doors. What I was trying to say earlier, that non-consensual sex or intercourse where a woman is humiliated and lowered to the status of a sex slave, which seems to be a trend in the porn industry, is not something I would appreciate about the person who enjoys watching or reading about it. It's my personal perception of the world and morality. I find porn disgusting and this book looks to me like one distasteful porn scene. I felt dirty after reading it, therefore I can't recommend it to other people. Bare sex - yes. Sublime feeling and love - no. Now, I've graduated high school and moved on to college, but I haven't stopped watching Michael. He's bad, and the dirt I've seen isn't content to stay in my head anymore. the things happening in this book are real issues. they’re part of what’s so horrifically wrong with the world. these are real things, that have happened to real women— the MAJORITY of women have had things like this happen to them. not to this extend of course, but still.Be part of our book reading community with BBS yearly & LRQ quarterly reading challenges, SRx1x3x3 monthly group reads & #ShhPolls.

Trew became a lecturer in social studies at South Bank University before suffering a stroke in 2003. While recovering, he decided to investigate his case using the National Archives and the Freedom of Information Act, and uncovered the levels of corruption in which Ridgewell had been involved. Erika Fane has always been drawn to Michael Crist for the majority of her life. It seems that she did something three years ago to him and his homeboys that has deemed her enemy number one to The Four Horsemen. She’s so pure and whatever that she frowns upon prostitution and openly judges a prostitute named Alex. Okay Rika, you’re sheltered and innocent and you’ll grow up over time, right?

Joseph Olinska, meanwhile, seems unstoppable. Now ennobled and on the board of Lehman Brothers, he plans to extend his business interests into Russia - with a little help from Boris Yeltsin and his cronies. He also cultivates the new Prime Minister, John Major: as well as a young centre-left politician named Tony Blair. The only fly in the ointment is his acrimonious divorce from Catherine, who's seeking a multi-million-pound settlement and has engaged top barrister George Carman to get it. And in the meantime, she's airing all Joseph's dirty laundry in court... In the USA, the police are a major outlet for corrupting power. Encouraged by government, military veterans sign up by the thousands, ready, willing and able to shoot or smash anyone they don’t particularly like, in the guise of a police officer. It happens over a thousand times a year. Where was Michael? Tears sprang to my eyes, and I held my bottom lip between my teeth to stifle the cry. Penelope Douglas is a New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Their books have been translated into nineteen languages and include The Fall Away Series, The Devil’s Night Series, and the stand-alones, Misconduct, Punk 57, Birthday Girl, Credence, and Tryst Six Venom. Please look for The Hellbent Series, coming next.This thrilling account of the Watergate scandal uncovers the story as it broke. The gradual trust that built up between the two initially suspicious Washington Post reporters enabled them to work together effectively. One aspect became clear early on: people were making very specific denials of accusations nobody had yet made. A sure sign they had something to hide. It amazed me how easily they got people to talk to them as they uncovered the trail of money and the involvement of the CIA in the burglary and cover-up. In the end, the trail led them to the most powerful man in the US. Seven words to describe Erika Fane, Rika: Good-hearted, smart, determined, forgiving, spirited, trusting and impressionable.
