I thought that this book was very clever and a very unique storyline which I haven't read in another book before. I really enjoyed the writing style of James Calum Campbell, I found it to be a breath of fresh air, the words he used in his description really made my mind expand and made my imagination wonder into the world he wants the reader to experience. I have never read a book by this author but I will definitely be looking out for more books by him!
It is the type of book where it grabs your attention straight away and just doesn't let it go, it is a page turner, compelling, interesting, entertaining, has many twist and turns to keep your mind trying to think ahead of the author only for him to change direction completely. I really thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and would recommend it to anyone who was thinking of giving this book a read!

An absolutely amazing book written by John Paul Bernett who is a brilliant author. This book is part of the ' The Reaper' series. It was a thrilling and gripping book which was extremely hard to put down. The author manages to capture the characters and portray them into your imagation drawing you further into the book. It is a good and fast paced storyline which grabs your attention from the very start. I would recommend this book to pretty much anybody, it's a book that doesn't disappoint at all. I can't wait for more additions to this amazing series!

Review: Genesis

Genesis by E.J. Taylor
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Published: 03/09/2011
Author: E.J. Taylor

I received this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.

This is a rather short book (72 pages) however it doesn't stop it from being a really great read! It is a dark fantasy novel that draws you into the world that the author has created, the description that E.J Taylor uses really brings your imagination alive and makes you imagine the world that the main character is seeing.
A lot of the chapters didn't really seem to connect to one another which made the book a little hard to read as there wasn't a flow throughout the book. If the book was a little bit longer I would have liked to known more of the world that the character was in, have explored it more so that I could have imagined it further and have been deeper into the book while reading it.
The only comment I have to make about this book is that I wish it was a longer book as I feel like it could have gone a lot further and that the author could have expanded more on the characters and the world, but overall I really enjoyed reading the book.

Review: Jon Fixx

Jon Fixx by Jason Squire Fluck
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Author: Jason Squire Fluck
Published: 02/01/2015

I received a copy of this novel thats to the amazing author in exchange for my honest review so....here is my review!

First of all I really love this novel! I felt so honoured to be able to get the change to read this book and I just couldn't wait to dive straight into the novel. The book is really brilliantly written, it keeps up a good pace throughout the novel which makes it easy to keep hold of the readers attention, keep them hooked on the novel and the characters. This is a brilliant debut novel written by a talented writter. All of the characters add something to the novel, there isn't any background characters, they all add to helping the reader imagine the surroundings, setting and characters that are featured in the book.
The character of Jon Fixx is one that is easy to get on with, and you want to know more about him which you do throughout the novel which adds depth to the book as it makes the reader feel like they really know Jon Fixx, he is the kind of character that you can vividly imagine in your mind...or even imagine being on the big screen one day!. It is the type of book that makes you want to read it and read it and not have to be away from it.
The novel has an unexpected twist of having the mob and FBI involved in it aswell, these little twist and turns also adds to the reader wanting to keep reading as you dont know where the author is going to take the story next. Even though it does have all of the points of a great crime novel...it doesnt mean that it makes it a predictable book to read. The only bad thing I have to say about this book that it finished! I could happily read many more books featuring the wonderful character Jon Fixx and I hope to read more books from this author one day.

Review: From the Dust of Death

From the Dust of Death by Helen M. Martin
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Author: Helen M. Martin
Published : 21/02/2014

I received this book for free through GoodReads FirstReads competitions.

I thought this book was expertly written by a clearly very talented author, as soon as it came through my door I just couldn't wait to start to read it. The character that is predominately featured in this book is a girl called Grace Lively who has been greatly changed by the events of the previous two years when The Great War took her father from her and also took her lover from her. Things start to get complicated when she returns to her fathers plantation with her new husband and meets her ex lovers best friend who she quickly falls in love with... just as her husband has been murdered!
This is a brilliant book that will grip hold of your attention and will refuse to let go of it. This is the first book that I have read by this author but it will definitely not be the last one I read by her, the description and the words that she uses just opens up your imagination and lets you live the book in your mind.
