    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,…

    The Resident by David Jackson | Review

    December 9, 2020 /

    When I first requested an advanced readers copy of The Resident, I was very excited!  There has been so much hype on book-twitter and a lot of blogger friends loved it.  I am very weary of getting involved in hyped books because I really don’t want to be disappointed.  I expected a strong psychological thriller but boy…this beast packed a spine shattering punch!  Imagine my delight when from chapter one onwards – I knew this was going to be the kind of dark and depraved that I live for in a crime novel.  The title and that mind-blowing cover set my imagination crazy.  Imagine a serial killer actually living in…

    The Cousins by Karen M. McManus | Blog Tour Review

    December 5, 2020 /

    Today I’m happy to be a part of The Write Reads Ultimate blog tour for the highly anticipated, The Cousins by Karen M. McManus.  Now, for a reader to be sucked into an author’s writing style, their narrative, they need the X-factor.  Something that allows them to keep coming back…book after book.  Karen M. McManus is no exception.  There are so many reasons why I keep coming back for more with her stories.  The air of mystery, the journey and most of all the care that is given to keep loyal readers.  The Cousins is a story that is reminiscent of the I know what you did last summer trope. …

    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,…

    Devoted by Dean Koontz | Review

    November 14, 2020 /

    Devoted was a hard book to read in places.  It was mostly successful in the theme of genetic mutation.  I really enjoy Dean Koontz books but, in this occasion,  it was neither a favourite or one that I disliked.  It’s very much a book that gets very strange, very quickly.  It’s a case of constantly reminding yourself that this is SCI-FI.  I’ve noticed other reviewers likening it to Koontz’ other work – The Watchers, which I haven’t read, not sure if that is to my detriment or not?  The book to me, felt like it just moved too slowly, and I did feel myself getting bored. The story in Devoted…

    Review: Firewatching by Russ Thomas

    January 13, 2020 /

    Firewatching is Russ Thomas’ debut.  That in itself is crazy.  The authors work…his words, his research, his narrative, where born from flames.  It is red hot.  It flows so effortlessly from the pages and dives straight into your head. Of course, the moment you pick this book up, you will forget about the tasks you had planned for the rest of the day.  Nothing is as important as finding out the secrets this book contains.  Toilet breaks, food none of it even registered in my head.  Be prepared to race to the finish.  Lace up those Nikes and….run!  This was deliciously dark and complex, Firewatching gives us an introduction to DS…
