Black Cake by Charmaine Wilkerson
"Man I really wanted to like this book.

Unfortunately there was such a telenovela vibe to the story, it was hard to get through. Anything that could add a level of drama to the story happened.

There were multiple sexual assaults, a violent loan shark, " Read more of this review »

“Never do what you can’t undo until you’ve considered well what you can’t do once you’ve done it.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate

“To Fitz and the Fool.
My best friends for over twenty years.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate

Robin Hobb
“The knowledge that he had left me with no intent ever to return had come over me in tiny droplets of realization spread over the years. And each droplet of comprehension brought its own small measure of hurt...He had wished me well in finding my own fate to follow, and I never doubted his sincerity. But it had taken me years to accept that his absence in my life was a deliberate finality, an act he had chosen, a thing completed even as some part of my soul still dangled, waiting for his return.”
Robin Hobb, Fool's Assassin

Robin Hobb
“His cracked lips moved.
Beloved.
He couldn't say the word, but I knew it.
And so did his Fool.”
Robin Hobb, Assassin's Fate

“There's something stalking us. Off to the side of the road, moving through the forest.'

Kettricken smiled.”
