    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,…

    Dead Air by Micheal Bradley | Review

    November 17, 2020 /

    Dead Air so much promise and yet fell flat at every turn of the page.  I was actually very excited to read this one.  A secret, revenge promised and action aplenty.  However, the reality was very much different.  The writing was ok, but I found it places it tripped itself up.  The story struggled to keep my attention but also seemed to have the power to get me extremely angry.  There was a plot development at around 40% that nearly made me give up, it’s not what I thought should happen to the character or where the natural progression of the narrative should have been.  Dead Air follows our protagonist,…

    Keeper by Jessica Moor | Review

    July 25, 2020 /

    Keeper was one of those books that had the premise of being outstanding, but it didn’t work for me for several different reasons.  Firstly, the characterisation didn’t work in any aspect.  I didn’t feel connected or invested in their back stories or their end game.  This was a real shame because good characterisation is pretty much a deal breaker for me.  Like other readers, I went through bouts of anger and not the type that invoked such emotion that I was intertwined with the plot, the anger was for reasons that I will discuss below.  The main protagonists were so devoid of human kindness and emotion that I seriously wondered…

    Blog Tour: The F*ck-It List by John Niven

    April 14, 2020 /

    Nothing quite like The F*ck-It List says welcome to a disenchanted America.  I mean welcome in the most sarcastic and seeped in satire way possible.  In many ways this book is a window into the future if things don’t change.  Its nightmarish and I can’t think of anything that would resemble hell on earth.  A life where the most basic of human rights have been extradited.  This book plays on our fears and hopes pulls them taut and suffocates us with the implications.  I had so many feelings whilst reading this book and I did see the parallels between The F*ck-It List and Breaking Bad.  Frank Brill is both a…

    Who’s There? by Kerena Swan @BOTBSPublicity

    December 14, 2019 /

    Thank you to Sarah for my spot on the blog tour.  All thoughts are my own and unbiased.  How many times did our parents tell us never to talk to strangers?  If your parents were anything like mine, it was too many times to count.  This is the main theme at play in Who’s There?  This is just easier said and done for a character like Arnold Eastwood, a naturally trusting young man with Downs Syndrome.  He dreams of having his own independence after years living and relying on his mother.  He knows he can do it.  He wants to do it.  The time has come, he has been offered…

    Thanks to Anne Cater@ Random Things Book Tours and the publisher for my spot on the blog tour. All thoughts are my own. What would you do if being an alcoholic was the only thing you knew?  It provided sanctuary from a cruel and uncaring world.  It was your safe place.  You could crawl into yourself when it all became too much.  It gave you confidence, and it brushed away your tears.  How on earth could you navigate the unchartered waters of becoming sober, recalling lost memories and engaging with your problems in a healthy and conducive manner?  How easy would it be to slip back into old habits?  You…
