Cloud Atlas The Book Review Novels & Stories

“Yes, you can. I got this.” Lily turned back to Atlas, who was waiting patiently. After a beat, she sighed. “Fine. But if this is some elaborate scheme to get me into a hiking trail, I’m out.” Atlas laughed. “Noted. Come on.” Lily wasn’t sure what she expected, but it definitely wasn’t this. “A bookstore café?” she asked as they stepped inside the cozy space. Atlas grinned. “You get coffee and books. It’s basically your version of paradise.” Lily glanced around, taking in the warm lighting and endless rows of bookshelves. She had to admit it was perfect.

or fall even harder. 3rd Person POV As Atlas left the library, the soft sound of his footsteps faded down the hall until everything fell quiet again. Behind one of the tall bookshelves, Rowan stood still, hidden in the dim light filtering through the blinds. He hadn’t moved for several minutes, just watching.

“I’ve only ever read about a circus in books, and that carnival section looked like it would be fun.” Amy cringed. “I doubt Clayson’s place is anything like what you’ve read about.” “No, it’s not,” Atlas agreed stiffly. Of course it wasn’t. Not in the new not-so-new supernatural world. Hell, I’d probably never even get the chance to see an elephant in my lifetime. I’d have to amend my bucket list to remove “ride an elephant.” We drove in the dark toward Fire and Fluorite, not seeing any other cars on the road for the first hour. When we finally did, there was a dark-colored van pulled over with two men standing on the outside of it.

Atlas looked like he had been hit over the head with a hammer made entirely of the concept of bewilderment. "Why…what…who…this makes no sense," Atlas stumbled. "Why on earth—I mean, I knew he would try to sabotage Noah before Damnatio Memoriae to get him exiled…but why assassinate him and try to steal documents?" "That is what I want to figure out," I said. "Noah gave you access to the entire database. If we find what Chris is looking for, then it'll give us an idea of what he's up to." "Yes, yes, that's all well and good, except for the fact that the network contains literal thousands of gigabytes worth of information!" Atlas grimaced in frustration. "How are we supposed to sift through all

"There's no date, there's also no cohesive language. It's almost like a diary that's been added to over the centuries." "Shit." I rubbed a finger over my eyebrows. "Exactly. Atlas and Taryk are going to see about getting a private showing." I raised an eyebrow. "They have that kind of clout?" Ransom chuckled. "They have enough." "What does the book say about changing into animals?"

TBC AUTHOR’S NOTE: so it’s established that Atlas isn’t that good of an alpha when it comes to emotional intelligence… . Please leave gems or just one gem, if possible thank you <3

I leaned back, steepled my fingers, and waited for the strike. Luca didn't look at his notes. He didn't look at Elena. He looked directly at me. "Atlas is an impressive piece of engineering, Aurelia," he began, his voice smooth and dangerous. "It’s a masterpiece of defensive programming. But that’s exactly the problem." I felt a ripple of tension move through my side of the table. My Chief Technology Officer, Sarah, shifted in her seat, her jaw tightening. "Explain," I said, my voice clipped.

"Yeah, yeah just shocked," She sighed in understanding and took a place beside me. "I understand but I can't get over how happy I am for you and Batya!" My lips twitched in amusement as I bumped my shoulder with hers and rolled my eyes. "Relax. we both know there's no long lost love between Atlas and I," "Even though," She sniffled and flipped her hair. "He's miles better than shitty Gabriel and his terrible family. My wolf chuckled lightly. We had to agree, he was better.

His eyebrows knit together, and he shakes his head no, “You don’t need to fret over that, Elyria. Your smile is more than enough for me.” My cheeks burn from his kind words, especially as he says them in front of some of the closest people in his life. I grab one of the books out of the bag and say, “Well, Alpha, is it alright if I get to the office and to my reading?” I didn’t pay attention to what I was grabbing. As Atlas grabs the book and examines it, I realize what it is and regret the decision to grab a random book.
