![]() ![]() ![]() Kill River 3 is available now in paperback and e-book formats. At Least 25 Unnamed Children and Teenagers - Killed by Kents boss off-page. Kill River 3 is like a warm blanket for slasher fans, and even if this is the end of the Kill River series, I can’t wait to see what he comes up with next. Kill River is a trilogy of horror slasher novels written by Cameron Roubique. Here he sheds more light on our killer without giving too much away, and takes some cues from the Halloween and Friday the 13th series plus even a nod to Stallone’s action slasher Cobra. He can build tension when needed and can definitely go for the jugular when needed. There aren’t many authors, certainly that I have read, who can construct slasher attack scenes on the page better than Roubique. This time around Cyndi, the final girl survivor of the past 2 Kill River novels, is dragged back into her own watery nightmare but this time new boyfriend Johnny and his sisters and their friends are put in the bloody path of the water park killer. ![]() It is clear now that Roubique really knows this world, plus every inch of the aforementioned water park. To the unacquainted author Cameron Roubique is fast becoming the go-to guy for retro flavoured slasher novels.įollowing the success of the first two Kill River books, which take place at a remote water park, he has returned to close off the trilogy in spectacular style. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() But by the end of his speech he derided the idea that “every single problem in America today is based on slavery,” asking, “Are teens in Chicago today killing each other at rapid rates because of slavery?” Perhaps surprising some in the audience, Shapiro spent much of his talk outlining the history of American opposition to what he acknowledged as the horrors of slavery and the evils of Jim Crow. Conservative firebrand Ben Shapiro lectured an audience of 1,500 on the legacy of slavery and parried hecklers from the left and the right in an appearance on the Boston University campus Wednesday night that was arranged by a conservative BU student group and protested by some 200 students who marched in silent solidarity up Commonwealth Avenue. ![]() ![]() ![]() And behind the intrigue lurks the shadowy Yazuka, the powerful Japanese underworld, whose leaders ruthlessly manipulate people and events to suit their own purposes. Now, from inside cyberspace, a kidnapping plot is masterminded by a phantom entity who has plans for Mona, Angie, and all humanity, plans that cannot be controlled.

So Zera is sent to the Kingdom, surreptitiously, so she can go get the Prince’s heart and then he’ll be a Heartless, too. Zera is a “Heartless.” A Heartless is a person whose actual heart is held by their witch and that person becomes the witch’s thrall.

I highly recommend this book to everyone, regardless of whether you're a parent or not. It takes immense bravery and courage to be able to speak about such experiences so openly and I really commend Candice for that. I found chapters 2 and 5 particularly hard-hitting. There is a level of rawness, vulnerability and relatability that makes you feel as though you are listening to a friend. She has a way with words that really draws you in and makes you listen. It is timely, intimate, very well-written and the added bonus of Candice narrating the book herself made the experience so much more enjoyable.Ĭandice candidly discusses her experience as a Black mother in a still very racist, prejudiced and partisan UK. ![]() Once you start listening it is very hard to stop.
