Harshini (25 KP) rated The Bunker Diary in Books
Jan 4, 2018
Since Linus is captured by the strange 'blind' man, all he wants to do is figure out where he is and why he's there. His family was rich, though he had lived for a while as a homeless boy since he hated his family, so he assumed it was for the money, but when more people enter the bunker Linus appears to be locked in, he realises that money cannot be the reason. Soon, a strange rag-tag bunch of people are assembled in the bunker and they have to learn to live together. Slowly, though, they realise things about the way they live. They cannot communicate directly to the person who kidnapped them, but they can write notes in the only exit - an elevator. The entire book is Linus' diary.

When a serial killer gets stopped abruptly in a 5 year spree - by a city bus, Sam the detective who has been tracking him down has to find the latest victim before it’s too late. The diary on the body may provide insights.
I’m not sure what I enjoyed most about this book the main story itself with the cops racing against time or the backstory of the killer provided by his diary. Both parts were engaging and I couldn't put it down for wanting to get to the next part. There’s even gruesome discoveries in a box (hello happy Seven memories).
The cops were great characters, really enjoyed the well placed bits of banter. A lot of crime books I've read recently seem to lack real personalities for the investigators but not here.
Story was well worked out, well written and just a pleasure to read.
Can't wait to get my hands of the next 4MK thriller
Kelly (279 KP) rated Surviving the Evacuation: London in Books
Jan 11, 2019
The story is written in diary form by fictional character Bill Wright. Similar to Rock Grimes (Walking Dead), Bill missed the initial apocalypse due to injury. His government links tried to rescue him during the evacuation, however, at the last stage the chauffeur fails. The story primarily centres around Bills attempts to escape London on his own, with a leg in cast, without falling victim to the Zombie virus.
The use of a diary to move the story forward is a different approach to most Zombie books, and allows us to to have a greater insight into the thoughts and feelings of the main character in hindsight of the events.
If you are looking for an in-depth and complex book, this is not the book for you, however if you are looking for a quick easy read on the go, I highly recommend this. I have already downloaded the sequel to this story (not free) in order to find out what is next in store for Bill.
