A muddy brew of pop-culture and pop-folklore yields intriguing, lesser-known episodes of contemporary Ecuadorian history, along with a rich cast of unforgettable characters whose intimate stories open up onto a vista of Ecuador’s place on the world stage.įrom a pair of deep-sea divers using Robinson Crusoe’s map of a shipwreck to locate sunken treasure in the Galápagos Archipelago, to a night with the husband of Ecuador’s most infamous expat, Lorena Bobbitt, this series of cracked “family portraits” provides a cast of picaresque heroes and anti-heroes in stories that sneak up on a reader before they know what’s happened: they’ve learned a great deal about a country whose more well known exports–soccer, coffee and cocoa–mask an intriguing national story that’s ripe for the telling. In this collection of eight hugely entertaining short stories, she teases tropes of hardboiled detective fiction, satire, and adventure narratives to recast the discussion of national identity.

Neal reached out and took the underwear, then picked up the bowl. “It’s okay, I wasn’t paying attention.” Georgie stood up, wadding the wet underwear in her fist. “Alice wanted to put milk out for Noomi.” When Neal stepped into the archway between the living room and the dining room, Georgie was crouched on the floor, sopping up milk with a pair of her own underwear. There was a stack of laundry folded on the coffee table-she grabbed whatever was on the top to wipe it up. Georgie went to turn it off and stumbled over a bowl of milk sitting on the floor. Alice had fallen asleep on the couch watching Pink Panther cartoons. The lights were off in the living room, but the TV was still on. She hauled the bike up onto the porch and opened the (unlocked) door. Neal didn’t even lock the front door most nights until after Georgie came home, though she’d told him that was like putting a sign in the yard that said PLEASE ROB US AT GUNPOINT.

Hands down one of my favorite Rina books to date and the best of the series. The intensity, the emotive complexity, and the angst had me clawing at the pages for more. Twisted, addictive, depraved and enchanting, I was RAVENOUS for this story. This is the best of the best of Rina Kent. The mystery in this book was a nice added touch! If you haven't yet started this series, what are you waiting for? Go for the DL! Y'all-we get some grovel! It's not as much as I would've liked, but I do love me a good grovel moment. Despite how much of a jerk Jeremy can be, he never allows Cecily to be anything other than her TRUE self. Does that stop me from loving it in my romance reads? Absolutely NOT. I love how NEXT LEVEL stalker Jeremy became. OBVIOUSLY we are in for lots of back and forth between these two (both in and out of the sheets, lol). She is kind and will often put the needs of her friends above her own. Although she is fiercely independent, she is also the mother-hen of her friend group. There is nothing particularly nice about his demeanor. A protective brother, but a ruthless leader. So far, we have seen Jeremy as violent yet cunning. In this particular story from the Legacy of Gods series, we get to learn more about Jeremy and Cecily. There's so much to love: the college setting, the accents (I frigging love listening to books with different accents!), the alphahole males, and SO MUCH STEAM. To say that I'm obsessed with this series would be an understatement.
