Thrilling books and gripping stories, all in one place.
What a great start to the new year! I set out to read this at the start of the pandemic, some time in spring, 2019. It was a weird mix of wanting to read a book about the world ending due to a super-flu (wonder where I got that idea), finding the book on offer... Continue Reading →
This is what you'd get if Dan Brown wrote an Indiana Jones novel.A incredible fast-paced, action-packed, thrilling and intriguing mystery about Biblical myths and Nazi conspiracies.I read the first of these books a few years ago, and I though I have to admit I don't remember it in detail, I remember being hooked. As an... Continue Reading →
The fact that I love thrillers, am Scandinavian, and have never actually read this book before now is kind of embarrassing. At the same time, I feel like I’ve read it many times before. I’ve read “of” it, heard about it and I’ve seen at least two of the movies (one Swedish and one American,... Continue Reading →
Woah! - What a unique collection of horror stories. I was very lucky to receive an Advanced Reader Copy of this anthology and I knew almost immediately that I had something special in my hands. I like to read mysteries, thriller, and horror because I enjoy not knowing. A big part of that is also... Continue Reading →
Well this was actually terrible. I probably should have stopped reading this around the 30% mark, when I first got a hunch.

Cynetic Wolf is an excellent political thriller and YA sci-fi adventure!
The most incredible fantasy story I've ever had the pleasure of reading - and now it's done. I've had a difficult relationship with this series. I think I mentioned at least once or twice in all my previous reviews of Book 1, Book 2 and Book 3, how difficult I found it to grasp Redick's... Continue Reading →
An engaging, funny, and comprehensive guide to almost everything you need to know about the world. I went into this on a few colleague's recommendation, never having heard about Bill Bryson before. In fact, it's been years since I read much non-fiction at all - probably since I graduated! I started out reading Bryson's 'A... Continue Reading →
The action-packed sci-fi adventure is over! And what a conclusion it is. Through four books we've followed Frank Ford - The Custodian, The Angel, The Monster, and now - The Accursed of Earth. It's been a wild ride across alien planets, meeting with alien races, forming friendships, romantic ties, and rivalries, but most of all... Continue Reading →
It's been a weird few weeks. Ever since I moved back home from the Arctic at the start of the month, days have been blending together. I feel like I've had far too much to do and nothing at all at the same time. Like everything has changed, yet it's all the same. I've tried... Continue Reading →
