If I Told You, I'd Have to Kill You by Mae Marvel
I found out before reading that Mae Marvel is a pen name for Ruthie Knox and Annie Mare. I recently read their book “Big Name Fan” so I was surprised to see this book coming out so near to that one! I will say I wasn’t that enamored with “Big Name Fan” so when I found out this book has the same writers, I went into it with lowered expectations. That being said, this book was such a delightful surprise!
The romance and chemistry between Yardley and KC is delicious and I was rooting so hard for them. Usually, romance books have two characters meet and fall in love throughout the book. But in this one they are already in love, just having issues, and have recently broken up. Working their issues out meant that instead of realizing their feelings for the first time they fall deeper and deeper in love. I enjoyed watching their beautiful connection grow and strengthen. I love that this book didn’t have the typical third-act breakup that other romance novels have. Plus, the book takes a typical spy premise (along the lines of Mr. And Mrs. Smith) and makes it queer. The two of them being in the same field and not knowing it is such a fun way for us to meet the characters. The build-up and payoff of the heist are entertaining and pulled me in! I said up until 4am to finish reading because I needed to know what happened.
If you already like Ruthie Knox or Annie Mare you will enjoy this! If you were skeptical about their work before, give this a chance! If you like romance, especially with the extra flair of espionage, this is a great read!
Thank you NetGalley and St. Martin's Press for the digital ARC!

That was how she always made it through the mystery of what came next.

Mia madre continua a parlarmi nei sogni. Mi ha detto: "Devi dire a tuo padre di non disturbarmi mentre già sto male". Per parlare, mi porta sempre su una certa spiaggia. Il mare ha onde alte, ma non mi fa paura, perché l'acqua è viva e piena di ossigeno come l'aria. C'è un alto dislivello, un salto di più di due metri di sabbia, tra la parte superiore e quella inferiore, dove si trova il bagnasciuga, della spiaggia. Si potrebbe cadere e farsi male, ma in realtà non succede, perché si riesce a scendere dal gradino con relativa facilità, anche con zoccoli a zeppa anni '70 come quelli che indossa mia madre nel sogno, e in più la sabbia è soffice. Tutto lo scenario è paurosamente libero e vivo. Le uniche cose davvero tremende di quella spiaggia dove mi porta, sono l'energia e la bellezza.

Odesta Week Day 6: Supernatural Saturday
Annie Cresta has one goal.
It’s not to be selected as the volunteer for the 70th Hunger Games—she’s already done that. And despite what she tells Caesar Flickerman, it’s not even to win the Games, although losing would certainly hinder things.
She spent ten years training at the Academy because she wants to be something. Make a name for herself.
And when your mother is a goddess, it’s not easy to step out from under her shadow.
It’s not like anyone knows that Annie’s mother is Aphrodite. Officially, the gods don’t exist, and the Capitol is the most powerful entity that the world has ever seen. But Annie knows, and she’s spent most of her life trying to prove to herself that she’s powerful in her own right.
On the night before she goes into the arena, she feels anything but powerful.
Mags, who is mentoring Annie, says that even volunteers feel nervous on the night before. It’s normal, apparently, because this is everything she’s been working towards. And if it goes wrong, she’ll never work towards anything again. But it won’t go wrong. She won’t let it.
Her room is dark and too stifling even in its vastness, so she heads out to the balcony for some fresh air. Even the air in the Capitol feels different than the air back home. The city smog sits heavy in her lungs, or maybe she’s just imagining the tightness in her chest.
“Can’t sleep?”
Annie startles, but the voice sounds oddly familiar. She turns around and meets eyes that are as bright as a kaleidoscope, gleaming in the city lights. The woman is foreign and familiar all at once. Her shining hair tumbles down her back, and Annie’s eyes don’t even know where to focus. They flicker from her eyes to her hair to her serene smile.
“Aphrodite,” she says, because it feels weird to address her as ‘Mom’ when this is the first and probably only conversation they’ll have.
Aphrodite is the goddess of love and beauty, and her unearthly looks are testament to that. She was born of sea foam, which is what ties her to District Four, although as a goddess she’s not bound by the Capitol’s rules.
Her smile doesn’t waver. “Evanna.”
“You can call me Annie,” she says. “I didn’t think you were ever going to visit.”
“Tomorrow is an important day for you,” says Aphrodite. “I may not be mortal, but I know that much.”
“I don’t want your help,” says Annie before she can stop herself. “Sorry. But I have to do this on my own.”
Her mother gives an unbothered shrug. “I am not here to offer help. Only encouragement. Did you know that in some ancient cultures, I was worshiped as a warrior goddess?”
The night wind whistles through her hair. “You were?”
She nods. “This experience will test you unlike any other, but you know that already. What you may not know is that the power you’ve been searching for has been inside you all along. You are a warrior, my daughter. Not because you are mine but because of your own merit. You have always been fated to transcend these mortal games.”
Annie’s heart is in her throat. It’s getting hard to breathe, and she can’t tell if it’s fear or excitement that she’s feeling. “Are you saying I’m going to win?”
“Only you can determine that,” says Aphrodite. “Before you go, I have something for you. A gift.”
She opens her hands, and Annie looks at the small glittery object. It’s a necklace. A small white pearl hangs from a thin gold chain. Annie accepts the gift, cupping the necklace reverently in her hands. “Thank you.”
“There is no difficulty you cannot face,” she says, then disappears.
Annie walks back into her room in a daze. Her eyelids go heavy with sudden exhaustion, so she gently sets the necklace on her bedside table and climbs into bed.
#this is for you mare nostrum fans#sorry this one was a bit shorter haha#shockingly tomorrow's ended up being the longest#so we have that to look forward to#i hope you enjoyed this one#i'm not great with supernatural stuff but it was fun to write#odesta week#odesta#annie cresta#wait is this even odesta finnick's not even in it#my bad yall#thg#the hunger games

“ Lì, nel mare, spesso ci sei tu. Appena dentro, con l’acqua che ti arriva al ginocchio, giochi a pallavolo con un gruppo di amici e molte ragazze, e fai tuffi spettacolari per prendere la palla, e schizzi acqua con tutte le forze; il vento porta voci, risate e grida qualche volta, altre volte le trattiene e sembra di essere diventati sordi. So che ci sei sempre, so che continui a passare su questa spiaggia gran parte della tua estate e il lungomare sarà invaso da un’altra serie di ricordi che non conosco più; quando fai il gesto di levare gli occhiali da sole e quando il vento porta la tua risata verso il mio ombrellone, ho la conferma che continui a essere felice, che il tuo mondo è in questi due mesi, è in questa piccola città di mare. All’inizio, con imbarazzo, venivi a chiedermi di stare con voi - non me lo chiedevi direttamente, avremmo avuto pudore di chiedere e rispondere, ma lo dicevi in modo passabile, scherzando o prendendo il discorso alla larga. Io dicevo no, anzi non dicevo no, cercavo scuse plausibili. Alla fine, ti allontanavi, e a me sembrava che un attimo dopo sarebbe venuta tua madre a prendermi la mano e a portarmi tra voi, e all’inizio non mi avreste passato la palla, tu con la testa bassa, poi una volta e poi un’altra me l’avreste passata finalmente, e avrei cominciato a giocare, e poi a tuffarmi come te, e poi mi avresti preso in giro per un tuffo goffo o cos’altro, e le risate dei tuoi amici avrebbero fatto il resto. Non avrei potuto. Sembra che sia questo il momento di divertirsi e di vivere, sembra che l’anno abbia un prima, un durante e un dopo. E questo è il «durante» - bisogna approfittarne. A me non piace essere troppo allegro, e nemmeno troppo triste. A me non piace sapere che è questo il momento di fare qualcosa, che ci sono dei mesi irrinunciabilmente dediti alla vita, e sono i mesi d’estate. Essere allegri tutte le sere fino a notte inoltrata, è faticoso. E poi tornare a casa tardi, spogliarsi di poco e non rivestirsi, girare e rigirare il corpo sul letto caldo, e guardare le stelle fuori, perché è tutto aperto e sembra di dormire per strada - e sembra una cosa bella, ma non lo è perché non si riesce a dormire, si suda, bisogna fare una doccia, hai visto che caldo ha fatto stanotte? Non ho chiuso occhio. Un caldo così. Nel letto stai un po’ dalla parte sinistra, e quando diventa calda, passi dalla parte destra, e senti un po’ di quel fresco sulle guance e sulle anche. Poi di nuovo caldo. Puoi girare il cuscino, e poi farlo ancora una volta, ma se non fai presto ad addormentarti succede che acceleri le soluzioni, passi da una parte all’altra del letto, giri il cuscino sopra e sotto, e finisci per scaldare tutto e non ci sono più angoli freschi. Ti agiti tanto, ed è peggio. Un caldo come quello di stanotte non l’hai mai sentito. “

Bagnoli anni ' 50. Colonia estiva del Comune di Napoli per bambini disagiati.
Un bambino al mare.
Conosco un bambino così povero
che non ha mai veduto il mare:
a Ferragosto lo vado a prendere
in treno ,a Ostia lo voglio portare.
“Ecco, guarda” gli dirò
“questo è il mare, pigliane un po’!”.
Col suo secchiello, fra tanta gente,
potrà rubarne poco o niente:
ma con gli occhi che sbarrerà
il mare intero si prenderà.
Gianni Rodari
