Great Reads, recommended.

Just a few books I've read recently which I would thoroughly recommend - enjoy. xxx


GRAY JUSTICE
by Alan McDermott                     http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gray-Justice-Tom-Novel-Book-ebook/dp/B00G4LJE74

My review - I loved this book, it was action packed and had great pace. The characters were believable and the plot plausible. I loved the way the ending could lead to absolutely anywhere. This book is well worth a read and I will be recommending it to my friends.


THE BLAKE MISTAKE

by I C Camilleri                            http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Blake-Mistake-I-C-Camilleri-ebook/dp/B00CH149J8

My Review - The Blake Mistake is a really gripping read. When I read The Blake Soul I enjoyed it but this one far surpasses it. The storyline twists fit perfectly with each of the main character's difficult personality traits making this book a really interesting and plausible read. Ms Camilleri manages to make her reader feel for each of her characters and therefore need to find out their fates. I will definitely be recommending this book to friends.


THE SCREEN CONSPIRACY

by Maxwell Black                       http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Screen-Conspiracy-Maxwell-Black-ebook/dp/B009X0RX1M

My Review - Very good pace, plausible plot and solid believable characters. Would definitely recommend this book as one well worth reading. 


A PERFECT SETUP

by Douglas Wickard                  http://www.amazon.co.uk/Perfect-Setup-Sami-Saxton-Novel-ebook/dp/B00E9BT8LI

My Review -  I deliberately read this book first even though I know it to be the sequel to A Perfect Husband to see if it could stand alone. It can, whilst there are numerous referrals to the earlier book and the ending leaves little doubt another book follows this section is perfectly able to stand alone. The characters develope well and the plot has many twists without being overly complicated or becoming unreal. I have minor reservations about a couple of things which I felt weren't fully exploited - possibly being saved for book three? Regardless, this is a really good read, it's pacey, edgy and wholly believable. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends.


THE PYRAMID LEGACY

by Clive Eaton                           http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Pyramid-Legacy-Clive-Eaton-ebook/dp/B0085LXSAK

My Review - The Pyramid Legacy is a very entertaining read. The storyline draws the reader in and doesn't let go. Parts of the storyline are a bit 'Star Trek' for me personally as I'm not a big sci-fi fan but the book had plenty more to offer. The main characters are well written and believable, especially Ben with all his doubts and insecurities. my only complaint, and I admit, it's a purely personal preference, is the lack of conclusion. For me every book should stand alone, even if part of a series, and I was disappointed at the end when I discovered I'd have to wait for the next book to find out the answers. That said I would still highly recommend this book to sci-fi and non sci-fi fans alike, it's a great story well written.


THE BONES OF ODIN

by David Leadbeater                  http://www.amazon.co.uk/The-Bones-Odin-Matt-Drake-ebook/dp/B006AVJGU8

My Review - This is a thoroughly enjoyable read. It has great pace and wholly three dimensional characters. The storyline may be a little farfetched (a bit Indiana Jones-ish) but it's very well written and extremely entertaining. Matt Drake is surely every woman's dream - strong, resourceful, hard as nails AND he cares!

I paid £0.99 for this and it was definitely money well spent, I will certainly be reading more in the Matt Drake series.
