Quick Book Review: A Sinister Revenge by Deanna Raybourn

A Sinister Revenge by Deanna Raybourn is the eighth book in the Veronica Speedwell series, one of my favorite book series to date. However, I was a little worried going into reading this book because the previous novel (An Impossible Imposter) was my least favorite of them all. For me, what makes these books so enjoyable is the dynamic between Veronica and Stoker, and An Impossible Imposter sets them at odds. I’m very happy to report that even though A Sinister Revenge has less banter than I would like, it does have Veronica and Stoker moving back towards reconciliation. I also thought the mystery was satisfying enough, with some unexpected twists and turns in the story. The brawl inside the life-sized dinosaur model was certainly a highlight.

A Sinister Revenge released March 7, 2023.

Me, in my own head: yeah I’m not that disabled. should I even be using the word disabled?

Also me (going Black Friday shopping with friends for the first time): shoves my cane in my bag even though it in no way fits and awkwardly pokes out, transfers my all of my fidget toys and hunts down my nice chewlry to put into my bag, refuses to leave the house without earplugs/earbuds/fingerless gloves/rescue meds/my ‘I have Tourette’s’ pin (I was 20 minutes late)

my absolute favorite thing about mike is that he really isn’t hard to analyze At All. his stories are pretty well laid out and stated but people wanna interpret him and his actions instead of just . following the line of logic based on stated or heavily implied facts

Your Faith Has Made You Complacent (And Thus Your Pride Will Bring You To Ruin)

Another piece inspired by @m1d-45. I have normally have great impulse control unless it's writing. Then this happens.

Instincts honed

Through years of wear

It has led them well

When their heart was torn

And their mind in shambles

So why?

Why is it now

That they fail to listen?

It pulls back 

Desperate to get away

To plead for forgiveness 

For ignorance and arrogance 

They do not listen 

Not this time

Emotions surge 

As their heart thunders

Their mind races 

Ignoring the sirens that blare

They raise their blade

Even as something 

Someone?

In the back of their head howls

The weapon plunges 

Sinking into soft flesh

The thud of a guillotine

A hasty execution 

It is a graceless death 

That prickles their skin

As a sense of wrongness settles

Something is not right

When they fall to their knees?

Why were they trying to heal the dead?

Why did their soul ache?

Why does it feel so wrong?

Oh.

What have they done?

I used to love the warmth that it gave like honey trickling down my throat. Now all I feel is the burn within, scorching my insides with all of its vengeance. Every day I tell myself that it's the last, but now all I wish is for a different end. The guilt eats me alive, I'm haunted by the lives so diligently told before me. I'm told of the curse that the evil liquid brings. It took one mother too soon, and others, I'm sure. And yet. And yet as the clock strikes five, it calls. Beckons me forward, I can't resist, like the pull of the tide. No matter how hard I try. I'm always pulled within. I'm left drowning. Each gasp of air, an excuse validated.

had a dream last night where I went to a con and some of you guys were there (idk what half of you look like so my brain just made up some random people who told me they were various snzblr members)

but for some reason one of you guys (not saying who bc that'd make things weird) asked me out and it got really weird bc I was like "I don't think you'd be interested in me" and I kept trying to prove I'm not who they were looking for, but nothing worked

i picked animal crossing back up recently and can i just say. why did they model the fishing gameplay after the adhd diagnostic test. it's SO difficult. i already use the trick of relying on audio cues only and it's still so difficult. the idea that there are rare fish i can only catch between the hours of 9pm and 4am is pure evil
