On the rare occasions we do let it out, it’s invalidated. Women have had countless reasons to be angry since the beginning of time, yet, at least in the U.S., we’ve been conditioned to suppress it. All of this is why I’m so grateful for Soraya Chemaly’s new book, "Rage Becomes Her: The Power of Women’s Anger," out next Tuesday.
Not only is Brett Kavanaugh probably going to be confirmed to the Supreme Court, but White House chief of staff John Kelly has reportedly said the president - who he still works for - has "gone off the rails." Also, I lost the headphone attachment for my iPhone, so now I have to pay Apple to fix a problem they needlessly created. It’s uncanny timing that I’m teaching myself to let my rage fly in 2018, because there’s no shortage of daily affronts to our humanity and intelligence that are guaranteed to incite fury. I grew up in a house where only one person (a man) was allowed to get angry, and everyone else had to tiptoe around and tamp down feelings of frustration so as not to upset him. Lately, I’ve been learning how to express my anger. Out next Tuesday, "The Lantern's Ember," is definitely one to preorder now! -Kendra James A romance between the two is, of course, inevitable, and as always, Houck excels in giving YA fans the paranormal, emotional hangups we crave. Determined to save Ember, Jack races to get her back to the mortal plane before she can no longer be saved.
With the help of a mysterious vampire (I think vampires are back on the come up, and as long as they don't sparkle, I am ready), Ember slips through the portal and right past Jack, the boy tasked by the Devil to make sure that this exact situation never happens. I was immediately pulled into the story of 17-year-old Ember, a natural-born witch who is deeply curious about the "Otherworld" and the portal in her town that could lead her to it. When "The Lantern's Ember" landed on my desk boasting that it was a "Sleepy Hollow inspired" folktale, I knew that Colleen Houck's novel would be right up my alley. As a fan of Victoria Schwab and Laini Taylor, I am 100 percent game for any darkly tinged YA fantasy that crosses my path.
