"Forgot about this after the car journey last week but a Reacher book is easy to fall back into. Usual stuff, more than one mystery going on at the same time and always a bad guy who is just worth disappearing. The narrator is awful as Reacher. Doesn't have the gravitas.
That aside ok to have on in the background whilst data crunching" — Feb 25, 2026 04:35PM

When the person you are talking about over hears you.
“He fucks me like he’s feral, hips snapping hard, each thrust hitting so deep it knocks sound from my lungs.”

“Vince’s eyes meet mine over Sofiya’s dark curls, and the raw love I see there nearly brings me to my knees. This man who has killed without remorse, who has built and destroyed empires, looks at his daughter and wife with such tenderness that it fractures something inside me.”

“Amongst my growing list of flaws is cowardice,” Pestilence says in the darkness. “I come to you now like a thief in the night, for I fear you’ll never listen to me under the light of day,” his voice is whisper soft, “and I must confess all the things in my heart.”

“What have I become?” I whispered. Shacking up with a criminal. Doing unsanitary things in a baking environment. This wasn’t like me. “I’m not even wearing any underwear!”
