    The Good Guy by Dean Koontz | Review

    February 20, 2021 / 1 Comment

    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 / 1 Comment

    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,…

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

    April 14, 2020 / 2 Comments

    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…

    Blog Tour: Blood Will Be Born by Gary Donnelly

    February 27, 2020 / No Comments

    Blood Will Be Born sets its explosive tone in the mind-blowing prologue.  Imagine a bullet ricocheting off the walls in a box room.  This is exactly how I would describe this cracking debut novel.  That bullet is speeding towards its end goal.  It’s impossible not to get hit in the wreckage, this is the delightful experience that Blood Will Be Born will engross you in.  every twist, every delightful description has you ducking but also in rapturous attention.  The story leaves you with a nasty case of whiplash that leaves you pained and distraught.  The deep meaning behind the title is pure poetic brilliance.  Bearing in mind that this is…

    Review: All The Best Lies by Joanna Schaffhausen

    February 8, 2020 / 4 Comments

    All The Best Lies really injects truth into that old saying – Las Vegas is the city that never sleeps!  Its seeped in sin, a place where we can forget our old selves, our realities are locked in the back of our minds and we can invent a new identity, a new truth.  Well, eventually that truth will rear its ugly head and bite you on your behind.  The characters are complex and brought to life in multi-dimensional 4k reality.  A crime novel should unseat you, leave you questioning the fragility of the human existence but also be blasted with the fear of how easily psyches can break and commit…

    It’s a known fact that I love Crime Fiction and I have found myself searching for an added element, something that speaks to me, is a calling card left in a deserted room.  It leaves clues for me to discover, to strip layer after layer back until I have been exposed to the dark secrets.  This is what you can expect from Little White Lies.  The writing style, the thrilling voice – this book gives me the Psychological Thriller Fuzies!  Little White Lies will creep up on you, catch you off guard and kick your heart into a galloping crescendo.  You know when an opening chapter lays the foundations to…
