ALC Review - Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell
ALC Review – Take a Bow, Noah Mitchell
Hello, everyone! I’m a bit late getting this review posted. It was supposed to be Monday’s post, but I spent most of that day shopping the after Christmas candy sales and the 50% off hardbacks sale at B&N. I’ve been a bit behind ever since because the rest of the week has been busy as well with doctor’s appointments and preparing for today’s road trip to the in-law’s house. I’ve finally managed…

Top 5 yellow books
Hello friends!! Welcome to Top 5 Tuesday!! This week’s topic is top 5 yellow books!! Honestly, this is much easier than cheese… But also, I still have to choose five?!! Yellow is probably the colour that I have the least number of books in. Although, since I sort most of my books in a rainbow, I discovered that half of the books I own that have yellow spines, don’t actually have a yellow cover.…

“Farewell, Boris.” (OC ANGST!)
[Warnings: Death, lots of blood, themes of worship, heavy angst and implied manipulation! Proceed with caution!]
Thin strings looped tightly around his wrists, suspending him in the abyss. He swayed lazily in the air, watching and waiting for something to happen. He wasn’t too sure where he was or why he was even here. He was sure Tobias had something to do with this. Was this where he’d finally be freed like it had promised him? Had it found the gods, Daemon and Apollo? Was this accursed realm where he’d finally be returned to a normal life? Free to write to his heart’s content, free to live out the average life he never got, free from the ever watching eyes of the god he’s done everything for. Everything. He’d given his mind, his body, hell, Tobias practically owned his soul.
The strings unraveled from their spot, letting him plummet into the dark space he was previously dangled over. His heart jumped in his chest, beats skipping and jumbling over and into each other. A cry of static left the speaker on his head, sharp and loud. He landed on solid ground, collapsing to his knees with the air punched out of his lungs. His tail quivered as his chest heaved. In and out. In and out. He had to breathe manually with the shock of it all. In, out, in, out, in and out. His legs ached and he still had the adrenaline rush from the fall. He held a clawed hand over his heart, feeling out his own heartbeat. It was a rapid and sporadic rhythm, a constant, fast paced thumping that made his head spin. It took him a while to get back to his senses. The second he was able to focus again, he felt around his platform. He quickly realized it was incredibly cramped. One wrong step could land with him toppling off the edge and falling much longer than he originally had. He settled on sitting directly in the middle of it after that discovery.
“Boris Madden.” The familiar voice of the messenger god sent shivers down his spine, a contorted, twisted comfort nestling deep in his bones. He’d grown to trust it. He’d learned that all his fighting had been for nothing. Him and Tobias had wanted the same thing all along. Freedom. Some strange force left him unable to respond, as if his voice box was on mute and his mouth was glued shut. He dipped into a half bow instead, hoping to please Tobias with a simple gesture.
“I have one final request before you achieve your desires. One simple little task. You can handle it, correct?” Boris nodded as fast as he could. He was so close to his goal. He just needed to listen to it one more time and he’d be free. Just once more and he can live in peace.
“Tear open your chest and dig out your heart. A two for one deal, truly, the final sacrifice you need to make and I get to check the purity of it in the process. It’s simple, is it not?” Caught off guard, he nodded a bit more hesitantly this time. What if he died before he could succeed? Surely Tobias would bring him back. Fill out it’s end of the deal. Surely he’d make it. He just needed to suffer for a few seconds and it would all be over. Tobias wouldn’t lie to him after all of this, right?
“I’ll leave you to it. Don't fail me now, vessel.” The voice left and Boris was left in utter silence yet again. Guess he should get to work. He shuffled out of his tattered, bloodstained shirt, letting it flop to the floor of the platform with a gross squelching sound.
He dragged his clawed fingers down the front of his chest, as if plotting out where he needed to cut to open himself up. One steady breath in and a quick slash and blood poured down his front. Pain spread like a wildfire, he found himself looking through blurry vision at his own blood covered talons. Another slash and he’d managed to strike bone, leaving him with a gaping wound running down the span of his ribcage. His breathing grew shallow, red flowing steadily from him and pooling onto the platform below him. He needed to work quickly. He was bound to pass out soon. He just needed to prevail. He just needed to get to his heart.
He carefully took his own hands, separating the small flaps he had created out of the gash. He reached into his own chest, claws sliding between the gaps in his ribs. He felt around for a while, prodding around at different organs, allowing more blood to gush onto his arms and hands. He found it soon enough. His own heart. It’s beat was slow and choppy, trying to keep him alive and preserve energy. His head felt light, pain seared through all of his nerves, almost being enough to stop him. He took the sensitive organ into his hand, feeling around for where it was connected to his body. Another slash was all it took for him to peel it out of himself.
He drew his hand back out, looking down, foggy eyed, at the pulsating heart in his hands. He knew he was going to die by now. He had accepted that fate the moment he took this request seriously. He turned the organ in his hand before setting it down. He settled down onto his knees, hands clasped together in prayer as the life drained from his body. His tail wagged weakly behind him, blissfully unaware that this was the end for him. The shadows crept over his vision and Boris Madden lay dead in a puddle of his own blood.
His last thoughts were those of worship for the one who caused this. His last dreams of freedom would never find him. He had been set up after all. A god of Tobias’ nature wasn’t afraid to make deals only to get it’s way. Boris had truly believed it was going to bring him back. Bring him back like how he used to be. A normal human. A normal human with a normal life that was ripped away from him. He would never get to live it out now. It was too late for him. Farewell, Boris.

A Review of Wrong Answers Only by Tobias Madden
I want to start off by saying, as a Hunter I was really hoping for a different Hunter in this book lol, but the character was well written. I loved this story, it had me laughing and crying and wishing to be in Italy sitting in a lemon tree grove. The end of this book had me crying my eyes out so warning there for those who read.
Marco does not have anxiety, he can't right? It was just a blip. When Marco has a panic attack before moving to begin his journey to become a surgeon he feels lost. His parents make him defer a year and sent to his uncle he has never met on a cruise ship in the Mediterranean he tries to find himself once more.
Marco had so much personality and Madden wrote anxiety and queer self-discovery so well in this story. The panic of leaving on your own for the first time not knowing what will happen is a huge fear for so many that it was great to see that representation.
I would love to read more from Tobias Madden now and will have to look into that. This is the perfect summer book in my opinion.
Thank you NetGalley, Tobias Madden and Penguin Australia for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

Writing Patterns (Tag Game)
Rules: list the first line of your last 10 (posted) fics and see if there’s a pattern!
Thank you for the tag @thegingerwrites! <33
This game intrigues me so i'm as curious as you to see what happens lol
Beep-beep. Beep-beep. Beep-beep. Obi-Wan groans in consternation. (A slip of the tongue, Obikin)
Their breaths sounded harsh, reverberating in the small bunk on their ship, moans and gasps mixing as they moved together. (and the sun will shine upon us again, Obikin)
Of all the prisoners the Prism housed, Master Skeit thought that the most unsettling was the boy. (Caged, Obikin)
“You are on this council… but we do not grant you the rank of master.” Windu’s words echoed in Anakin’s head as he sat down in his council chair, feeling sharply the sting of humiliation. (Obi-Two, Obikin)
The first rays of light reflect off the water and Bruce watches the sunrise, sipping the first coffee of the day.(Family dinner, Batfamily)
Kei didn't know exactly when his feelings towards Yamaguchi had started to change.(Never let me go, Tsukkiyama)
"Sasuke?"The sheets are soft against his skin and they smell of lemons, a scent Sasuke is beginning to hate.(Re-Life, SasuHina)
When Bruce returned from a day of work at Wayne Enterprises – he did not lounge in his office like Alfred always told him, thank you very much – he certainly didn't expect to see a party in full swing in his home.(What happens at a Batman party..., SuperBat)
The street that led to his house from Cokeworth’s old and only pub was long and uneventful, and Tobias liked it that way. (a change of direction, HP)
If there was something that irritated Severus to no end, it was Harry wearing his clothes. (Maddening attire, Snarry)
Well,,, it seems like I enjoy opening my fics with my pgs in a state of mild irritation/confusion lmao akhkashkah i did not expect that but I like it. Only two start with a direct convo! very nice. And i'm probably continuing this trend of starting fic by torturing my pgs so,,, yeah
Hope you enjoyed this, cause I certainly did.
I'll tag @artemisthehuntress @samstree @astralmaenad and anyone who wants to try! No pressure.
