Review: The City of Brass by SJ Chakraborty

This was awesome! I need more!!! I read this ages ago and am publishing this now because I'm about to begin book 2 in this series: The Kingdom of Copper

I absolutely love these characters, each one so well developed and executed. I am in awe of S.J.

As she does with her characters, her talent in setting a scene and creating an  ambience is phenomenal. You feel as if you're there, being chased by ifrit (that's not a spoiler - just saying!)

Nahri is a kick ass heroine and she's found herself in weird circumstances with an even stranger companion on her journey.

Her journey is both a physical and a metaphorical one.

Thrilling and intriguing, this is sure to draw you in.

Keep an eye out for the next review.

Review: The Word Is Murder

The Word Is Murder by Anthony Horowitz
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Horowitz wove his true life experiences as a writer into a plausible fictional story - at least I think the case is fictional...

I was quite lukewarm with the plot and style but found the actual writing not bad.

Review: The Midnight Line

The Midnight Line by Lee Child
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I am such a Lee Child fan.

Just a one line review: No lies, this is entertaining reading.

BTW, does anyone else think that Jack Reacher is a better looking Chuck Norris with a high IQ?

Review: Origin

Origin by Dan Brown
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read these because I am a Tom Hanks fan more than a Dan Brown fan. That being said, you get what you expect. Predictability.

If you're looking for a read that is not challenging, then this is it. Sit back and just be entertained.

Review: Don't Let Go

Don't Let Go by Harlan Coben
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I had been anxiously waiting this release and all I can say is that Harlan Coben does it again ladies and gentlemen!

The lead, Nap Dumas, deals with loss, real emotion and mystery to uncover the real truth of what happened to his twin fifteen years ago. Harlan Coben draws out the suspense and puts you in the midst of this small town tragedy. Even though I suspected the ending about 3/4 of the way in, I enjoyed reading how it unfolded. I was thrilled with the cameo of our much loved Myron.

I am never disappointed with this master of his craft!

Review: The Snowman

The Snowman by Jo Nesbø
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I read this so that I could slag the movie....KIDDING!

I did want to read it before the movie release. I enjoyed it but couldn't picture Michael Fassbender (swoon!) as Harry Hole and that is the main reason i might enjoy the movie more!

It did lack the urgency of other serial killer novels but that is not a bad thing. I suspect this is a more realistic pace of an actual investigation. I look forward to reading more from Jo Nesbo.
