| This is an ingenious way of weaving short stories into a novel. As well as the several short stories, we’re told the story of Grace reading them to Edith. Edith is a double stroke victim in a nursing home; Grace is a volunteer at that home tasked wit ...more | |

| My favourite genres are cyberpunk, noir and thrillers, so when I came across this book it was an immediate buy for me. It’s a trite comparison to say: “The next William Gibson”, but in this case, it’s justified. There’s that chaotic blend of action s ...more | |

For fans of James Patterson’s Alex Cross thrillers comes The Zurich Safari by B. J. Buchanan, a multilayered espionage thriller with what sometimes feels like a cast of hundreds. When a supposedly impenetrable research laboratory is breached, six peop ...more |

| This is an excellent sci-fi thriller. It's got the layers needed to build tension. Multiple sides and stuck in the middle is Mia, who always felt like a spare part to her twin sister; there's the family dynamic and the comatose sister. It's got the s ...more | |

| I loved this book. The cast of characters is excellent. We have Mac and his son Zach; Natalia the vampire (who I have my suspicions about); Grist the troll, who reminds me so much of Detritus the troll from Pratchett; and we have Amethyst, Safety Ed, ...more | |

Glimpses: Foresight is 20/20:
"The perfect action movie in a book.
Elias can see his death in glimpses - or rather the potential for it - meaning he can avoid his doom and complete whatever crazy mission he and his best friend are on. This works well until others realise what he ca" Read more of this review » |

| If you like the dark, twisty psychological thrillers of Frieda McFadden, you are in for a treat with this book. It is excellent. The pacing, the reveals, the twists and the ending all fall in exactly the right spots, and it’ll keep you guessing, keep ...more | |

| First off, I didn’t read the first in this duology, but it didn’t matter, as the second book does a great job of grounding the characters. Blood Moon Prophesy begins in two strands. There’re modern day archaeologists and Nubian royalty. The archaeolo ...more | |
