![]() ![]() I suspect The Theriot Family series will follow that format as well, as it follows sequentially after the end of Xavier (with some slight overlap). ![]() However, within each series, you should read the books sequentially. You can read each series as a standalone unit. This series, The Theriot Family, follows on the heels of Vigilance. Violet’s The Marchesi Family series ( Lucien, Angelo, and Devil) comes first chronologically, followed by the spinoff Vigilance series ( Giorgio, Niall, Leo, and Xavier ). Silvia Violet’s Remington, the first book in her new The Theriot Family series, delivers the same sex-heavy, action-filled, M/M romance as the prior two series she’s set in this same universe. But how could a crime boss be my Prince Charming or give me the fairytale happily ever after I’ve always dreamed of? Remington cares for me like no man ever has, and I can’t help falling for him. Even then, I know when our time is up, I’ll wish we had forever. ![]() When he offers me an astronomical sum to stay with him for two weeks, I can’t say no. I knew he was dangerous, but he needed help and I was sure he could pay well for it. I should never have approached Remington’s car. A mobster rescued me, and I rescued him right back. ![]()

![]() ![]() “Who tricked you into believing another person was meant to complete you when the most they can do is complement.” The second one is on page 167 and it talks about that one quote that is most famous from males who try to impress a woman by saying, “You’re not like most girls.” Some girls might like to hear that, but others don’t. The last part of it really makes you think deeply about where you stand in life. This could mean that you’re lacking happiness, love, anything you think that you don’t have. It is about co-depending on people to fill the spots you think that are empty. ![]() I don’t have just one favorite poem, in fact I have four poems that I enjoyed and they all happen to be in the same chapter called “The Healing.” The first one is on page 157.

There are many aspects of this book that can be contemplated over deeply and discussed thoroughly, but that would be lengthy and time consuming, so I will just write about its amazingness, taking into consideration the points I feel are the most important. ![]() Somewhere, when I came across Cobalt Blue, I knew that the book would be amazing, and I can proudly say that it was just that- simply and purely amazing. Even though it's my mother-tongue, I am not the most comfortable reading in Marathi, and this book has really made me want to step out of my langue comfort zone and read the original. For quite some time now, I had my eye on the book, and I was excited to pick up and read the English edition of the Marathi novel translated by Jerry Pinto. Cobalt Blue may not have anything to do with absurdity, but it sounded so good to me. ![]() ![]() I came across this review of author Sachin Kundalkar's Cobalt Blue when I was searching for some absurdity-themed Marathi novels, and I was completely intrigued by the sound of it. ![]() ![]() In 1940s Japan, the wealthy head of the Inugami Clan dies, and his family eagerly.

Just like that, the life she had imagined for herself had gone up in flames. Then a trip to the doctor and, a few weeks shy of her twenty-third birthday, a diagnosis: leukemia, with a 35 percent chance of survival. Next came the exhaustion, and the six-hour naps that only deepened her fatigue. It started with an itch-first on her feet, then up her legs, like a thousand invisible mosquito bites. The real world she found, however, would take her into a very different kind of conflict zone. In the summer after graduating from college, Suleika Jaouad was preparing, as they say in commencement speeches, to enter “the real world.” She had fallen in love and moved to Paris to pursue her dream of becoming a war correspondent.
