Author of dark things – thrilling novels and haunting stories
This was in danger of being my least favorite Reacher book - if not worse - but it turns out it's the best! First things first - I love Lee Child and Jack Reacher, and I'm beyond hooked now. I picked up my first book a few years ago, liked it well enough, but really... Continue Reading →
Holy shit, I need more Jack Reacher in my life. It's been four years since I read my first Lee Child book. I'd heard about Jack Reacher before, seen that Tom Cruise movie from a while back, and I remember loving the book. But for some reason I never picked up another one. Then late... Continue Reading →
How great it is to be back in Westeros! A Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms is a very different books to those in the Song Of Ice And Fire series (that's Game of Thrones, by the way), and Fire & Blood (House of the Dragon). Whereas both those book series are massive epics that tell... Continue Reading →
My first Koontz book - and what a book it is! As with when I first started reading Stephen King a few years ago, I felt like I'd heard a lot about Koontz even though I knew nothing about him. I knew he was known for churning out books by the dozens, I knew they... 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 →
If you're looking for your new favorite haunted house story, look no further than The Haunting Of Hill House by Shirley Jackson
Book 3 of 4 - and things are shaping up to be awesome! Honestly, book 1 didn't have me hoping for much, at least not to begin with. Like I wrote in my review, it was slow, confusing and there were far too many names. When I read this third book, I couldn't finish it... Continue Reading →
Since I'm on a King binge that I just can't seem to quit, I carried on with The Dead Zone, on someone's recommendation. I'd never heard of this book before, at all, and was surprised to find out that it's one of his earlier works. Again, going in blind makes King's books not feel so... Continue Reading →
A rogue timefather. An immortal captain. A mythical earthmother. A dying continent. These are just some of the things you'll experience in The Tree That Grew Through Iron, as Nicholai Addihein joins Captain Kazuaki Hidataka and his crew in a quest to save the world, and hopefully, his love. Austin has created a magnificent fantasy... Continue Reading →
The 3rd (or 5th) book in the series, and definitely the best one so far, Baptism of Fire ramps up absolutely everything and it seems to be that we're on a much steadier course now than before. With the first two books (excluding the short stories) there's a lot of setting up plot lines, understanding... Continue Reading →
