Book Review - Rouge by Isabella Modra
FIRST THINGS FIRST - Look at that stunning cover!!!!
Okay, so this is absolutely true - I knew Hunter Harrison.
Confession - not the Hunter in this story, but someone from a very distant job I had in the past.
Review: This is the last 'full' novel I read and it goes all the way back to June. It was a compelling read that I completed in one go, I'm delighted to say.
It's a delight to see a young author with such a command of her writing universe and a wonderful grip of her characters and their motivations. There is a generous homage to X-Men in this story although it manages to distinguish itself from that series by having a wonderful heroine in Hunter.
There's wonderful humour laced throughout the book, and there's a particular scene which reminded me of Kick-Ass a bit when Hunter is choosing her super-name and looking at outfits to wear.

Book Review - Embers and Ice by Isabella Modra
Rouge#1 was a throughly entertaining ride which introduced us to high-kicking heroine Hunter.
Rouge#2, which is a continuation of the story, is even better. Titled Embers & Ice, and complete with yet another stunning cover, one wonders if it could match the first story, or hopefully - better it?
I bought the paperback version of this book, and it is truly awesome to have on my shelf.
From the very first line:-
"Everyone is wrong about hell."
you, dear reader, will be hooked.
