Brianna Baker as Tess Symington, Green Point owner, Dungeons & Dragons player and briefly Doug's girlfriendTruly, this story wasn’t bad. My only concern is that this author read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Maas and decided to write a similar but also not to similar story. Mekhi Phifer as Andrew "Dre" Collins, cofounder of DollaHyde, a hip-hop fashion label. He was a former drug dealer. The show focuses on both the personal and business lives of Marty Kaan, a manipulative, charming and opportunistic management consultant. Books, Comics and Novels Public Administration Political Theory International Relations IGNOU IGNOU Solution For MPS-001 I think this would have benefitted from having an editor do at least one pass. There are typos and grammar mistakes, but there were also issues with the timeline staying straight that really took me out of the story. For example, we see something happen and then several days (and chapters) later, someone refers to it as happening “a few hours ago”.

I also didn’t really like the casual sexism. We’re supposed to believe that the MC is a Strong Female Protagonist, but there are several lines like “she didn’t stand a chance because she was just a girl”. This happens both with the MC and with her only female ally. Also, in every dangerous situation the MC finds herself in, despite having a knife and claiming she knows how to use it, she always gets overpowered before she has any chance to defend herself and needs to be saved by the LI. Milana Vayntrub as Christy, part of Monica's pod. She was arrested and fired for stabbing Monica in "Power" The heroine has to support her family and hunt in the woods for food so she and her younger sister don’t starve due to her dad is useless since their mother died. They also live in a run down cabin where she and her sister share a room because they’re poor. Glynn Turman as Jeremiah Kaan, Marty's ex-psychiatrist father and Roscoe's main caregiver. Jeremiah detests Monica, and is frequently forced to act as a mediator between her and Marty for Roscoe's sake. He is dating Chantelle, a much younger psychology student. The relationship has been happily accepted by the rest of the family.I am of the House of Lara, daughter of Elvira of Nailani, sister of witches, and I have come to reclaim my crown."

I hate to give this author a low rating because I tip my hat to her for doing the thing she loves and putting it out into the world. That’s amazing. And it really, really needs an editor, or even just a friend with a slightly better grasp of vocabulary. At least then they could save it from simple mistakes like using the wrong words “vile rose in my throat” where it should be bile, “limps” where it should be limbs. I don’t know if an editor could save it from some of the really weird word choices and descriptions though. “Bench like structure” -what makes it not a bench? Just say there is a bench! Kristen Bell as Jeannie van der Hooven, a partner at Kaan & Associates with whom Marty has a complex relationship. She was part of Marty's pod before he left Galweather. She later led her own pod in Galweather before ditching them for Kaan & Associates, where she becomes a partner. Jeannie was inadvertently responsible for the FBI bust on Kaan & Associates. Consequently, Marty blames her for his stint in jail. In season 4, Jeannie is pregnant with Marty's child, but he is reluctant to be involved as he has not forgiven her. I'm all in favor of a slow burn romance but neither of the MCs made any effort to get to know each other and were pretty determined to hate or be indifferent toward the other. There wasn't even any trust building but suddenly the FMC trusts the MMC implicitly.To be honest, it felt like a bit too much inspiration had been taken from the ACOTAR story. I loved ACOTAR, but I do wish this had been a bit more original. From bestselling author Scarlett St. Clair comes a dark and enthralling reimagining of the Hades and Persephone Greek myth. humans hate Fae and think they’re all malicious killers and all of the Fae hate humans, thinking they’re all the weak. There were many lines of dialogue in which I felt the writing wasn’t true to the character and it took me out of the story. When Mal says things like “it was so messed up” it made me question his age, his origins, the time period of this story and the relationship this story had to the real world. It didn’t feel like a phrase his character would use even if he was familiar with it. Language like that made it hard to distinguish the age difference between even characters like Mal and his mother.
