    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,…

    Review: Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin

    May 19, 2020 /

    Where do I begin with Foul is Fair?  The premise of the story was one that had intrigued me wholeheartedly.  A revenge thriller with a feministic twist.  A classic retelling based upon Macbeth that became darker and darker the further you travelled through its pages.  I want to include a trigger warning about the book before I go any further – It is a revenge tale after a sexual assault.  The premise is one that I would have expected to grab me and hold me hostage but the preceding emotion it left me with is an uncontrollable anger – the narrative within the story could be quite dangerous. It unfortunately,…

    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…

    Review: Dark Hollows by Steve Frech

    March 10, 2020 /

    Dark Hollows.  The premise of this book instantly grabbed me.  A spooky setting, an intriguing backstory, a loveable mutt and shrouded in the cloak of Halloween.  The vista was hypnotic.  I envisioned myself walking the paths, talking to the characters and being entranced by the quaint little town of The Hollows.  Life is finally going the way Jacob Reese wants it to.  He’s a respected businessman, a well-liked individual and most importantly he’s put his past to bed.  It’s not coming back to haunt him…until of course, he takes that booking from an attractive female.  A booking that he decides to forgo his usual booking protocols for.  Jacob Reese inherited…

    Blog Tour: The Holdout by Graham Moore

    March 5, 2020 /

    Wow.  The Holdout is a serious examination of the politics of law, social impact of race and gut instinct.  The first chapter was a sucker punch to the gut.  The imagery was gruesome but tantalising to the highest degree.  I found myself holding my breath waiting for that bomb to drop.  I was gripped from its anxiety inducing start to the finale like ending.  This was a premise that definitely had me hooked – just how persuasion and obsession can collide.  Ten years ago, Maya Searle was a member of the jury on the case of missing Jessica Silver, daughter of extremely wealthy Lou Silver.  Immediately the cogs begin to…

    Review: All The Best Lies by Joanna Schaffhausen

    February 8, 2020 /

    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…
