    Generation Z by Peter Meredith | Book Review

    March 1, 2021 /

    Generation Z is a post-apocalyptic Zombie novel that didn’t hit home with me.  It could have been something entirely different if the first half of the novel wasn’t being written solely for the second half.  The cover instantly grabbed me, and it looked like it was right down my alley.  Just from reading the first chapter I could tell that this series was a spin off from a much larger world and it did feel like I was missing out on a lot of the backstory and the world building in general.  Generation Z did the zombie interpretation fantastically.  The imagery and the fear were palpable, and I did find…

    The Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne | ARC Review

    February 26, 2021 /

    JESUS CHRIST ON A BURNING BIKE!! Never has there been a more impossible review to write. The Shadow of the Gods,  a book that has not only captured my imagination but stolen my heart with the range of differing but equally loveable characters.  Some you love to hate and some that carve a big gash across your chest with glistening sharp axe.  The storytelling is magical but brutally real, the atmospheric worldbuilding enraptures you, you can feel the raw and biting waves as you travel with these Norse folks on longships, you can feel the ground they trod upon and you can feel the pressure of being a part of…

    Never Ask The Dead by Gary Donnelly | Blog Tour Review

    February 25, 2021 /

    The past always has a way of catching up with us and Don’t Tell the Dead by Gary Donnelly epitomise that notion.  Lace up those Nikes because you’re going to be doing some running!  Writing is such a labour of love and writing a series is doubly true.  The commitment, the research, and the psyche to get into the head of your characters time and time again requires a special kind of author.  Gary Donnelly has consistently delivered a gritty, raw, and deeply compelling crime series set in the pulsing heart of Ireland.  The atmosphere is catastrophically real, you can almost feel the elements battering you where you stand, the…

    The Night Silver River Run Red by Christine Morgan | Review

    February 20, 2021 /

    Oh, holy hell, The Night Silver River Run Red has been the cataclysmic explosion of me falling into a Western Splatter rabbit hole!   I’ve written in a previous review that women authors are writing the gory and dark with abandon.  It’s in your face, it’s messy and it is completely unapologetic.  Surely some things are worth a whipping, right?  The opportunity to see the marvels of a travelling show is too much to bypass.  Is it worth much more?  Being torn to shreds, witnessing bloodshed beyond all their worst nightmares, a sleepy hollow of a town, ran red the gore as much of their history as anything that came before.…

    The Good Guy by Dean Koontz | Review

    February 20, 2021 /

    The Good Guy is thrilling, and you can feel the adrenaline coursing through your veins.  The anticipation, the fear, it is all a heady mix that bubbles up to a conclusion.  It’s a novel that I’m surprised hasn’t been adapted for the screen – suited to the Jason Stratham type actors.  It was a fun read that passed the hours quickly; was it Koontz’s best novel, not by far but it was fun for what it was.  A lot of stuff didn’t add up for me and I’ll get into that soon. The Good Guy centres around the event of a stranger walking into a bar and mistakes our protagonist,…

    Smoke Screen by Thomas Enger, Jørn Lier Horst and translated by Megan Turney | Review

    February 19, 2021 /

    I was a little worried about reading Smoke Screen, not because I believed that it would be a terrible read but because I just loved Death Deserved so much and wanted Smoke Screen to have that lasting impact also.  This review is the proof that this writing duo know just how to deliver time and time again.  An intriguing title, a mysterious cover and a synopsis that promises to deliver a narrative balancing on a tripwire.  Enger and Horst have penned another addition that will create a shadow on my soul and leave me hungering to visit the Scandinavian Isles.  Smoke Screen is book two in the Blixx & Ramm…
