Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. Can anything short of a perfect storm keep these two lovebirds together? Like points on a compass, their lives seem to be charted in opposite directions-his to the Hamptons and high-society, and hers back out across the rolling seas. But as their final destination approaches, so does reality. Despite their different backgrounds, Blake and Jubilee discover an incredible connection they never imagined possible. What starts out as a simple tour guide arrangement, quickly grows into something more. Her love of travel makes her the perfect person to show Blake around each exotic stop of the Mediterranean cruise. While she longs to do more than croon cover songs from a cruise ship stage, she enjoys seeing the world. Jubilee is talented and passionate and doesn’t just march to the beat of her own drum-she dances to it. The last thing he expects is to meet beautiful songstress Jubilee Collazo with her honey-sweet voice. For the next fourteen days he hopes to escape reality and pretend he hasn’t suffered the humiliation of a lifetime.

A LIDAR-scanned map of the jungle in Honduras. The LIDAR made visible what looked like rectangular structures, including two perfectly linear lines, and a right angle.

Nevertheless, despite the thriving religious and scholarly appreciation for Margery Kempe, neither the medieval Catholic community nor the current one has ever, during her lifetime or in the intervening centuries, endorsed her status as a mystic, 1 much less her sanctity I want to explore, very briefly, the reason for this range of response from communities of scholars, and then to examine the interconnection between the volatile speech and volatile body of Margery Kempe, and the attitude evinced by the scholarly (and Catholic) community toward her place in female hagiography. Margery Kempe’s opening sentences begin in resistance, and with the body, and it’s a good thing-because her decision not to abide in silence, to exert, even to disrupt, her physical space/body as integral to her participation in a life with God has been subjected to endless communities of criticism, at first frankly hostile and, only latterly, offering a qualified admiration. The narration is excellent, I listened to both 'You' and 'Hidden Bodies' within a week! Only thing I'd warn about is both books have quite a few 'sex' scenes which some people may not like and a couple of uses of the 'C*** word. I was actually rooting for Joe at the end of 'Hidden Bodies' and I hope there' s a sequel. In the past ten years, this thirty-something has buried four of them, collateral damage in his quest for love. Very well written books - but you must read 'You' first.

But soon, a hidden figure begins to tear through their family tree, picking them off one by one as it seeks to destroy Orquídea’s line. Seven years later, her gifts have manifested in different ways for Marimar, Rey, and Rhiannon, granting them unexpected blessings and powers. Instead, Orquídea is transformed into a ceiba tree, leaving them with more questions than answers. But when Orquídea Divina invites them to her funeral and to collect their inheritance, they hope to learn the secrets that she has held onto so tightly their whole lives. They know better than to ask why the pantry never seems to run low, or why their matriarch won’t ever leave their home in Four Rivers-not for graduations, weddings, or baptisms.

Unfortunately, despite a strong first issue, the rest of this collection quickly becomes a mess emulating some of the worst excesses of Big Two comics, by introducing way too many characters and convoluted conspiracies, and a kind of too hamfisted attempt to depict diversity within the black community regarding how to handle their oppression that narrows its characters into broad types, rather than making use of the serial form to let the characters develop organically - one of the downsides of writing to the trade. I supported the Kickstarter for this because the premise and the preview art were great and I because I like to put my money where my mouth is and support more diversity in comics.
