The Ice Limit
The Ice Limit

Review:In my experience, any of the novels by the Preston/Child duo are incredibly good. Some books are better than others, of course, but that's a matter of personal taste. I'll definitely be re-reading the books by this team of writers. Read more

The Book of the Dead (Agent Pendergast series)
The Book of the Dead (Agent Pendergast series)

Review:I have all the Preston-Child books, and while all have been superb, This one surpasses them all. The level of intensity was so strong that at times, I had to stop, and say to myself ""This is just a book; it's just a book" . There are two plots: the first is the arrangement of an Egyptian tomb, with all the requisite cursors and warnings. However, Diogenes takes control,, and, disguised as a curator, and changes the lights a to a level which produces insanity. Prendergast, in prison due to... Read more

Brimstone (Agent Pendergast series)

Review:I have been reading the Pendergast books since Relic came out. I have been pestering my parents to read these books ever since. For my father's birthday last year, I finally broke down and sent them the audiobooks to get them started. Now they are both hooked. Brimstone is probably my favorite book in the series, and my mother is reading it now. we check in every morning to see where she is in the story. I have loved these books and the characters have become friends in my quiet moments. N... Read more

Review:If you enjoyed the first book (the Blood Gospil) you will enjoy this continuation of the story. As always with James Rollins, riveting story telling that keeps you wanting more. I can't wait for the third book to be released.

Death Beckons (Mortis Vampire Series Book 1)
Death Beckons (Mortis Vampire Series Book 1)

Review:I loved this book. What a fantastic Australian sense of humour coming through loud and clear. Very well written. Read it in less than one day. Couldn't leave it alone until it was finished. Has everything: humour, tension, horror, fast paced. I love vampire books such as the Twilight Series and Vampire Academy Series. This series is shaping up to be on a par with these, if not surpassing them. Looking forward to the second book in this series with bated breath. Can't wait. Please releas... Read more

A Post-Apocalyptic Action Thriller - The Alpha Plague
A Post-Apocalyptic Action Thriller - The Alpha Plague

Review:Somewhat interesting but it appears to me as if the author has a fixation on the upper gastrointestinal system, far too many passages deal with dry mouth and bile. I am glad that it was a free selection as it would have been a mistake having to pay for it Read more

Lisey's Story: A Novel
Lisey's Story: A Novel

Review:There were moments when I enjoyed this: King's peek into the complexity of relationships, his vivid descriptions of pain and loss, and his idea of a fantasy world where some of us - maybe all of us, particularly the creative - go when we can't deal with reality.

In this (as well as his more recent novels), he's truly honed the ability to delve deep into close relationships - and get at the core of what it is to be human. I relished in those moments: father and son, sister and sister, husb... Read more

Book Three of the Looking Glass Trilogy (Arcane Society Series 12)
Book Three of the Looking Glass Trilogy (Arcane Society Series 12)

Review:Once again, the first couple of chapters were hard to get into and made for a slow beginning, but the subsequent chapters got better and the book became a much more interesting read. This was much the same as Midnight Crystal. Thank you for asking for my review. Read more

An Alex Verus Novel from the New Master of Magical London
An Alex Verus Novel from the New Master of Magical London

Review:Thoroughly enjoyable, tied together several plot points and left a nice big cliff hanger for the next one. I almost grew to dislike Alex a bit in this one, which is not necessarily a bad thing - this book examines a bit more of his history with Richard and what lies behind Deleo. A good read. Read more
