    A Sliver of Darkness by C.J. Tudor – REVIEW

    November 2, 2022 / 2 Comments

    A Sliver of Darkness is C.J. Tudor’s inaugural short story collection. I’ve always said that short story collections are always going to be difficult to rate. You’re not going to love every single story, but if at least a few resonate within you, then it’s a win. I’ve not had the opportunity to read Tudor’s work previously, I know, please don’t come for me! I will be changing that pronto. Each story was complex and atmospheric, and it didn’t take much for me to envisage myself in the protagonist’s shoes, it’s safe to say every story was fully immersive. A Sliver of Darkness feels a little like a treasure map…

    The Dinner Guest by B.P. Walter | Book Review

    April 7, 2021 / No Comments

    The Dinner Guest was one novel that I gobbled up, in one serving!  Just when you think you’ve read all there is in the thriller genre along comes this beauty and smacks you upside the head.  The perfect couple trope on drugs.  Uniqueness.  An impending threat.  Twists by the bucketload.  If you think you have this one figured out be prepared for a grenade to literally blow your face to shreds.  Walter lies in wait for the perfect moment then hits you straight between the eyes for a killer blow.  Set in the super rich areas of London.  It sets the scene.  Things are about to be rocked to its…

    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,…

    Review: Foul Is Fair by Hannah Capin

    May 19, 2020 / No Comments

    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 / 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…
