"***DISCLAIMER I was gifted an ebook ARC***
Wow. This was a ride and a half. It is like Boss Level (groundhog day like) meets 28 days later. Its a perfect blend of action, adventure and survival through a zombie apocalyptic London. There is an element o" Read more of this review » |

| If ever there was a cinematic ending to a book, Warmonger's Wrath has it in spades, building up to a tsunami of action, not just in the final scene, but the last third of the book. The tension is ratched so tight, it has to snap; when that snap comes ...more | |

| I didn’t notice Erased is a YA dystopian novel, and that’s on me. I’m not a YA fan, and found this book very … young adult. We are dragged along a series of adventures starring Lucy, and she is dragged along with us. In terms of plot, it’s got excell ...more | |

"Ctrl-Z is a witty and fast paced zombie thriller that is different from many in the genre. It follows the protagonist Zane as he navigates a London destroyed by a zombie apocalypse, and his encounters with Nina, someone else doing the same. The twist"

"I picked up this book because it looked like it could be good zombie fiction. The book started very well. You’re thrust into a tense action scene. The author does a good job immersing the reader in the perspective of Zane. He’s going to see about a n"

| Once Bad Moon got into its swing, it’s a taut horror thriller reminiscent of B-movies from yesteryear. The first part struggled, five characters thrown straight at the reader, but it soon picked up, and LeGivorden kept the tension high throughout the ...more | |

| I love Hell's Gate. Not enough to move there, but so much that I cannot get enough of Jolene's exquisite world. It's the little remarks that craft a memorable backdrop: "Shall we meet tonight?" "No, it's Tuesday." The casual acceptance of extraordina ...more | |

Simon: Superhero Continuum (Not Your Average Chronicles Book 3)
by Lucas W. Mayberry (Goodreads Author) |

| I’ve read both the previous Simon books. The first was a little weird, being in second person, but even weirder, that particular stylistic choice made sense when I read the third. The third has some lovely little twists I won’t reveal, but they made ...more | |

| Forget the horror aspect of this book. Instead, focus on what an excellent thriller David wrote. Is it horrific? Yes, in parts. To me, though, this is a fast-paced, character-driven paranormal thriller. We follow Kate, Verne and Beans. We slide back ...more | |
