Book Loving Kiwis discussion

Since we have quite a list of author members and their books I thought I would select two titles to read over each two month period for the rest of the year. I am hoping that the randomly selected titles will bring everyone something of interest.

The two titles selected for this period are -

War of the Shadows by John Zanetti

and

A Heat Of The Moment Thing by Maggie Le Page

Use this thread to comment/discuss these books. If either fo the authors wish to join in you would be most welcome.

Happy reading!

I read War of Shadows in February :) Its a really interesting premise and will appeal to people who like political intrigue type thrillers.

Half way through War of the Shadows.

Finished ' War of Shadows'. A different read than what I expected. Some editing issues. Plenty of opportunity for a follow on novel. Will write review a sap.

I really (really) recommend The Blessings of Stefan ( I think it has recently had a name change?) by the same author. Its a book which has stayed with me for a long time and has the most amazing world building. I enjoyed War of SHadows as I like dystopia type fiction and I liked how he played that out in a NZ (quite realistic) scenario but IMHO Blessings is so much better.

Thanks Sweetpea. My expectation, from the cover and blurb of War of Shadows, was more along the lines of YA John Marsden Tomorrow series. Would love to support NZ authors but John Z. should start the story half way through. Will add The Blessings to my list.

Got It! 'The Gardener Who Could See' I think ?

Yes that's it. COMPLETELY different to War of Shadows.

Only have a few days left to complete my current novel and read ' A Heat of the Moment Thing' before the May/ June Author Group Read comes to an end.

Already downloaded ' The Gardener Who Could See'. Can't wait to get started.

Ahhh! 30% through ' A Heat of the Moment Thing' and June has passed me by. Not my genre but enjoying the book so far. Light, easy read,chatty style.
