Leopard's Run - Christine Feehan

This one started out really good, but about a quarter of the way to the end I got bored with it. There is so much sex in it that there wasn’t enough story to get me to the end of it. I like books with a lot of passion in them, but this takes it to the level where it kind of ruins the story. Now this isn’t my first Leopard People’s book by CF so I know this series takes having passionate scenes steaming up the pages to the next level and beyond but there needs to be more story there too. I didn’t hate it like I have a few others in the series, I do like the Amurov Leopard’s, they are very interesting men raised in a very dark world trying to make it better the only way they know how. Timur is the brother of Alonzo from Leopard’s Fury. He is head of security and the Enforcer. He has accepted his fate even when he hates every second of it. When Ashe is found working at the bakery, first he is pissed that Evangeline didn’t tell him before hiring  her, and second, he knows he can’t let her get away. She calms his Leopard and that is a peace he has never known. She, of course, has brought trouble to his families’ door and he doesn’t like it, but it doesn’t stop him from going after her and discovering she is his mate. The action was intense, the bad guys are ones we have had to deal with on more than one occasion and the Amurov’s clean house in this one. I liked the characters I just needed more plot and less passion (never thought I’d say that, lol). I need to take a break from CF for awhile, her books are just too intense.

Leopard’s Run
Leopard's Run - Christine Feehan
Leopard People, Book 10

I Picked Up This Book Because: Continue the series

The Characters:

Timur Amurov:
Ashe Bronte:
Evangeline, Theodore, Goria, Jeremiah

The Story:

I both adore Ms Feehan’s stories. The plots, characters and weaving of tales always grips me which is why I keep reading her books despite her dreadful habit of repeating things over and over and over and over and over until I want to scream. Seriously if I was reading a physical book I probably would have thrown it. This book was well paced but I think bogged down by excess sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong I like a hot interaction between characters but I think these could have been reduced by 30% and not have any effect on the story as we knew Ashe and Godiva (since when have the leopards had names?) were in heat. I did find myself drifting in an out a bit as I said excessive sex scenes and my anger at the repetitiveness caused major distractions. It took me 12 days to get through 12 disc which seems fair, honestly I was expecting it to take longer but eating lunch in my car gave me some pretty good chunks of reading time.

Overall I did enjoy the story. I like the friendship that developed between Evangeline and Ashe and I loved Ashe’s camaraderie with Jeremiah. Ms Feehan writes characters that I connect with effortlessly and that also keeps me coming back for more.

This is not a drill
Black Leopard, Red Wolf - Marlon James
Two Years Eight Months and Twenty-Eight Nights - Salman Rushdie

1. Warner Bros and Michael B. Jordan have the rights to James' Black Leopard, Red Wolf.

 

2. Got a nice surprise last night.  Started the read for my real life book club, Rushdie Two Years Yada Yada.  Brought it from Thriftbooks for five books.  Opened it and it is a signed first edition.

 

 

I don't know which makes me happier to be honest.

Know more about Leopard Print trend

LEOPARD PRINT online journals have been around since the mid 2000s, yet today, blogging is a radical new ball game. While form websites are at an unequaled high, we can't contend against the way that internet based life stages like Instagram remain the single biggest gathering to divert activity towards design online journals. In any case, LEOPARD PRINT are not whining, in light of the fact that that is made our lives twice as simple. It's a hashtag diversion out there, and that is the means by which we are neck profound into individuals' profiles – engaged, fascinated, and notwithstanding losing a couple of days while perusing one hashtag after another. LEOPARD PRINT Sometimes it very well may overpower as well, to see each second influencer with a great many devotees (and once in a while millions) and the stuff they bring to the table. In any case, some mold bloggers figure out how to emerge notwithstanding every last bit of it. Furthermore, we will discuss them today. In the event that design and being refreshed is your thing, you have to tail them!

 

 

 

LEOPARD PRINT set off on this adventure to handle the goading hole for hefty size ladies. She began off a blog about 10 years back to show and clear a way in a way that advances body energy while being faultlessly classy, energetic, and beautiful. Her outfits are brimming with life simply like her, as is her garments line Premme, which takes into account larger sizes. She brought, what she calls 'the fatkini', by working together with 'Lively Promises' and 'Bathing suits', and demonstrated to us how it's finished. LEOPARD PRINT require more ladies like her, and because of online life, we get the opportunity to chase after her.

The Indian mold blogger and LEOPARD PRINT began blogging a couple of years back, and as of late propelled a brand that speaks to something she genuinely has confidence in – Do It Yourself Fashion. It's an intriguing idea of making constrained version dress that is an impression of your identity, yet reasonable. LEOPARD PRINT mark is novel, and her feed is vivid. Pursue her for every last bit of it, and the sky's the limit from there.

Black Leopard, Red Wolf - Marlon James

When I first heard that James was writing a fantasy that used African myth, legends, and folklore, I was very excited, so it should be noted I had high expectations of this novel.  Also, I love James’ but it takes about 100 or so pages for me to get into his books, but then I can’t put it down.

 

                So, here’s the thing – most readers are going to fall into one of two camps with this book – you are either going to love it, or you’re going to hate it.  There is going to be, I believe, a smaller group who fall somewhere in the middle.

 

                At its most basic, the novel is a quest, as Tracker and various other characters (there are quite a few characters) try to find a boy.  But the sweeping narrative is far more than that.  If Tolkien drew from English and European myth/legend to fashion Middle Earth, James draws from African story telling tradition as well myth/legend/folklore here.

                But to care it an African or Black LOTR or GOT is wrong because it implies that those two are the originals, and this book is more diverse version.

 

                Black Leopard, Red Wolf is its own thing, as any good novel should be.

 

                To say that the book is layered would be an understatement.  There are references to comics as well as current events.  Some of the sexual violence in the book does seem to be a comment FGM and criminalization of homosexuality.

 

                There are character and figures that are from African legend, yet the African epic I found myself thinking of the most when reading the book was Sundiata from Mali.  I’m not familiar enough with the style of griots, but I do also wonder if James’ style here is influenced by that tradition.

 

                It doesn’t equal A Brief History of Seven Killings, and at time it could have been less sprawling, but there was something wonderful about the vision.
