quil is everything alright with that book
I'm kind of worried??
Tiernan de Haas's famous producer/movie star parents committed double suicide a few weeks before her 18th birthday (her dad was dying of cancer, but they didn't tell her, because they ignored her her whole life--this lack of attention/love is key to her later actions). Her guardianship was, for some reason, left to his estranged step brother he hasn't spoken to in decades, who lives in a mountain cabin with his two sons
Tiernan, for some reason (reckless anger?), is like yeah I'll move in with you guys, who I've never met before (he offered for her to emancipate herself but she said no...?). These guys consist of her step uncle Jake, and her step cousins Noah and Kaleb, who are both a few years older than her. Jake is an alpha ass, Noah hates his life and dad but can't leave (unclear why), and Kaleb hasn't spoken a word since he was four and is implied to like hurting women in bed.
Despite this, Tiernan decides to stick around, and by day two her Uncle is saying shit like "You're ours" and "this is your home", and Noah is like "let me perfectly explain your childhood trauma to you in the middle of this cvs." We don't see Kaleb until night 2 or 3, since he's been off in the woods, but the moment he walks in the door at like 1 am (covered in blood holding a dead deer) (Tiernan was getting some laundry) he immediately is like oh. A Woman To Have Sex With. and nearly rapes her until Noah pulls him off and goes hey...that's our step cousin.
The reason he was so immediately on top of her is because apparently??? there's just a constant stream of women in the house?? like Noah legit just wakes up with women in his bed waking him up to have sex. and so any woman in the house must be there for sexual purposes and is fair game
Anyway. Tiernan doesn't mention this, but gets into some spats with her relatives. Consisting of them making very deep, personal claims about her despite it having been, once again, like 3 days. Her Uncle is like "You never smile! you only speak in one word sentences! you never ask us questions!" As if she isn't among strangers and her parents died mere DAYS ago. yet, for some reason, she's like, damn...he's right. her uncle is also constantly like do NOT date the boys in town, do NOT go down to the pond alone, etc. etc.
Step Uncle Jake then starts unloading trauma while fishing about how he hasn't been near a woman in decades, since Tiernan's parents drove his first love to suicide (that why they haven't spoken in forever) and the mother of his sons is in jail. This turns Tiernan on. Later when Tiernan can't sleep, they nearly fuck in the kitchen, but stop and Tiernan finally cries over her parents death and how they didn't even leave her a note. Uncle Jake is like we're your family now and this is your home (it hasn't even been a week).
There's a time skip of a few weeks, where they're preparing for winter--because, I forgot to mention, they live alone at the top of a mountain and are snowed in for six months every year. Tiernan turns 18 (kaleb gifts her a hand carved belt that noah says is for bondage purposes), her cousins get into a fight in a bar over her, and they run away from the police to the house. The cousins stay up in case any of the people they fought try and get to the house through the snow, but they end up putting porn on the TV and having a communal masturbation session, nearly ending in Noah and Kaleb fucking Tiernan. Instead, Uncle Jake interrupts, and he spanks her.
And that's as far as I've gotten so far. So I'm reading a slow-burn (ish) romance of Tiernan falling for her step uncles and cousins. And they've just gotten snowed in for the next 6 months. So they're alone. and tiernan's now legally an adult. and no one here is well adjusted
send me your strength soldiers I think it's about to get even rougher
(I went into this book knowing exactly what it would be)

Rock 'N Raw Sushi Joint | Seminole Hard Rock Tampa
I recently had the pleasure of dining at Rock 'N Raw, located within the vibrant atmosphere of the Hard Rock Casino in Seminole Tampa. Let me tell you, I was blown away by the experience. Despite some less-than-stellar reviews I had read beforehand, my visit exceeded all expectations.

How WhistlinDiesel Revolutionized Car Reviews

However, with the rise of platforms like YouTube and social media, this formula has been challenged. One creator who stands out in this shift is WhistlinDiesel. Known for his unconventional and often extreme approach,…

ODD THOMAS (2013)
(RIP Anton Yelchin, you were a phenomenal budding actor who is sorely missed)
A film based on a book by Dean Koontz that just scooped out my heart and threw it in the bin. This movie will hurt you, please be aware and be prepared for that because I was not and I got very hurt. Between the acting and the special effects, everything is done very well, and the story is compelling to watch. The only problem is how sad it is. There is mystery, action, thrill, even comedy, but the sadness dragged me down after I had seen this film (they had done an excellent job in making me blue).
⭐⭐⭐⭐
The movie is all about our titular character, Odd Thomas, who can see any number of ghosts, ghouls, and paranormal critters, but the most important and deadly from this film are what he calls “bodachs.” A “bodach” is a gross spindly creature (they are sort of like the ear demons from A QUIET PLACE but less corporeal) that only Odd and select other physics can see BUT they have to act like they can’t or else. Those little bastards are a sign that death is near, and lots of it, so when lots of them are around, Odd knows that something is about to go down (but more on that later).
While Odd lives a very odd life, he maintains a balance where he can with his girlfriend, Stormy, and he actually uses his abilities to help the police solve cases (featuring Willem Dafoe as the Chief of Police!). Through their investigating, Odd and Stormy realize that the big bad thing that is going to go down is a mall shooting (which is horrific) and they attempt to stop it in progress to a varying degree of success. I say a varying degree because it is only later when Odd and Stormy are recouping after the victory that we find out Stormy is only there as a ghost. She was shot and killed at the mall shooting.
This was the devastating part I was mentioning before that just scooped out my heart and chucked it in the bin. Stormy’s unfinished business on earth was just to stay by Odd’s side. He couldn’t let her do that so he told her that they would meet again one day and let her go. Absolutely heartbreaking. And once more, Rest in Peace to the wonderful and gone too soon Anton Yelchin whose career was just taking off, I was excited to see him star in many more movies, he is still sorely missed.
