Even though it is better than recent offerings, Blue Labyrinth ultimately fails to break free from the established Preston & Child formula. It starts with a slow build up, the plot takes several shocking twists and turns, and then the last ¼ of the book is a race against time as the previously hidden adversaries reveal their identities and our various heroes fight tooth and nail to overcome and survive. It’s exciting and quite fun but ends up as not much more than a beach […]
Teen Romance VS A Zombie Uprising
‘Journal of the Undead: Littleville Uprising’ is the story of twins Emma and Matt as they move to Littleville and try to fit in. As it turns out they will soon have more to worry about than typical teenage high school dramas as a zombie uprising is on the horizon. I got very easily engrossed in this book right from the beginning – this is an entertaining read with no filler, and it’s very character focused, which I love! I’ve been less impressed by […]
Harlan Coben, I Love You but You’re Bringing Me Down
It’s clear to me after reading this umpteenth suspense stand alone by Harlan Coben that the man can write a thriller in his sleep (and perhaps does?). They go down easy—all too easy—like a big bag of chips. It took me less than 24 hours to finish this one, but I worry in another 24 hours, I will have forgotten the plot and in another 24, the main character, and a few weeks later, I will have to remind myself that I actually did read […]
Yeah, I Need A Hug
Wanna go down a really, really dark rabbit hole and feel pretty gross about the world you live in when you come back out? Then read Robert Pobi’s American Woman, this book will suit all your squicky needs! Let me first say that my mom recommended this book to me. This reminds me that she reads some twisted materials…but she makes really good suggestions! So thanks Ma (she signed up for Cannonball Read, then punked out and is now a lurker–yeah, I’m calling you out, […]
The view from the train ain’t always the same.
I’m not quite sure The Girl on the Train deserves all the hype it’s being given, but it’s a fast-paced psychological thriller/mystery, and I think it succeeds handily in being exactly what the author wanted it to be. I didn’t NEED to read it, and you don’t either, but I’m glad that I did. As is always the case with these sorts of books, the less said about the book the better, but I do want to take a second to talk about some things: […]
