Those who lose their shadows suffer from more than just memory loss. If you read the book way back in 2016, you're probably already super excited for the movie to come out (although, to be fair, it could be different). 1. When Maxim found out, he killed her. Tragically, even after all the time and effort they’ve put into being careful and isolating themselves away from the changing world, Max loses her shadow. Living off of rations and minimal food, their off-the-grid lifestyle is less than glamorous, but at least they have their memories. Claire urges her nephews to “take care” of Beau, Serge and Babette’s adopted son, who witnessed the crime and is blackmailing the boys by threatening to reveal what they did. Hell they could recite bus timetables and I’d still shell out £4.50. But the big spoiler is twice as creepy and half as unlikely, as it turns out her landlord, Bill—who has his own horrifying secret life—has been spiking the afternoon wine they’ve been sharing and raping Melissa after she’s passed out. Two of the boys rape Cora while the third has sex with Magdalena—who dies during the act, a specific piece of music playing on the radio. You’ll spend more than 400 pages reading about not much happening, rolling around in the protagonist’s brain as he goes to work, cares for his son, and fantasizes about the secretary. Wonder what happened to him? This son gets hit by a car. The following book links are all spoiler conversations. They show him what the war looked like from their point of view, and Ender and the buggers meet a point of understanding. What we thought was her diary is actually a cunning trap: it’s a piece of fiction Amy wrote for the police to find. Max, meanwhile, hears rumors of a group in New Orleans who may be working on a cure — providing hope for her and others — and sets out on her own journey heading south. In J.K. Rowling’s seventh and final installment in the Harry Potter series, it’s revealed that Harry is a Horcrux, and must be killed before Voldemort can be. In the end, Amy says she’s getting ready to become a mom by writing her abduction story. Warning: if you like to be surprised, stop reading right now. Powerful, chilling, and expertly written, The Book of M balances thrills with honest, thought-provoking questions, and has plenty of raw emotion for readers to relate to. As for Maxim and the protagonist? In sadness and despair, Slocum hugs him to death. These questions do include spoilers, so if you have not read the book yet, stop reading now. Beautifully written, Peng Shepherd delivers an extraordinary story about love, hope, the unquenchable search for answers that may never come, and, ultimately, survival. As more people are affected, the world changes, until it’s nearly unrecognizable at best, and unthinkably dangerous at worst. As the story unfolds, readers get to follow Ory’s adventure through the new world, where he meets and connects with a number of colorful characters, some good and some bad, including members of a rising cult who worship the shadowless. Nick was having an affair, and Amy has been alive all along, on the lam, trying to frame Nick for her death. Forgetting everything and everyone is inevitable, but so is what follows — the manipulation of reality, where what you forget turns into something terrifying. Things take a heartbreaking turn when Ory finds his wife missing — and realizes she left to protect him. There’s no rhyme or reason, not to mention scientific data, to explain the sudden loss of one’s shadow, but things quickly go from a single isolated incident to a full-blown pandemic when many others around the globe experience the same disturbance. Melissa hasn’t slept with anyone in the five years since Ronnie’s death, and has spent those years wallowing in the tragedy praying for Ronnie’s return, so there’s a certain dream logic to her claim. Would you have left an acquaintance, possibly for dead, to get your child the medical care s/he needed to survive.
