![]() ![]() My first book by author Vi Keeland, a standalone as per my knowledge, the book rocked in many corners. And what he would do to me was not a topic I could write about on these pages here. Believe me, many a moment, I had imagined it was I who was doing all that naughty stuff to Grant. Sparks flew, flirting between them was decided to not be inappropriate, and the need to sink into each other grew like an inferno. ![]() One drunk email to the boss followed by a sane one and an inappropriate display of action by a fellow worker caused Grant to see reason and Ireland to be reinstated back to her job with a pay hike. Who in this world wouldn’t want to be enveloped in Grant’s arms amongst other things? But I had a rival who wanted Grant more than me.Ī beauty who had worked her ass off for nine years only to be rudely fired. I had to admit here that I have slept hugging this paperback. He lures with his entire being, doesn’t he? Inappropriate by Vi Keeland was a book I wanted obsessively only due to the guy on the cover. ![]()

![]() ![]() Whilst some of the characters we know are still around, the world of the First Law has become industrialised. A Little Hatred is the first in a new trilogy set in the same world of Glokta, Bayaz, Jezal, Black Calder, The Dogman and the like, but we are introduced to new characters as well. And whilst there have been short stories published about the same world and characters (see the short story collection Sharp Ends (2016)) it seemed, despite the fan-clamour, that there was to be no further development of that tale.īut here we have “First Law – the Next Generation”.

But unfamiliar, like moving from behind the camera to standing in front of it. A MONTH! Here’s the scoop.įirst of all, how does it feel to be interviewed for The Winged Pen instead of writing a post? Gita is too modest to tell you this herself, but when she queried Enchantée, she rocked it! She had an 80% request rate, got her first offer after 16 days, received one request from an agent who’d heard about her novel through the rumor mill, and ended up with offers from six agents. It’s full of magic and romance, struggles to get by, and the excesses of Versailles. ![]() Gita Trelease’s Enchantée (Flatiron/Macmillan, 2019) is a gorgeously-written YA historical fantasy set in pre-revolutionary Paris.
