Yet another movie in a series to go and see, in this case though I didn't bother with the first one. If I'm honest it never really appealed to me. I like comedy, but this sort of humour feels like it grates at times. And partly it did.

I did laugh, and it did pass the time reasonable well, but it's not a great film. It's getting the third star for the montage in the middle where the troopers disguise themselves as Mounties and start pulling people over. I know, of all the things I could have found amusing I really don't know why it was that.

Some great support actors around and I was kind of surprised to see them in it. But worth a watch if you like that sort of thing.

At first glance, The Summer Job is a light, easy romance, but as I read further I realised there are some real issues in amongst the humour and the “will she or won’t she get caught”.

Elizabeth “Birdy” Finch decides to pretend to be her best friend, Heather Jones, a respected sommelier. I mean, how difficult can it be?! Birdy drinks wine! But as she begins to settle in to the hotel’s restaurant, she realises how much she likes everyone, and really wants to do well for them.

I loved this. It made me laugh, gasp out loud, and I wished that I could give Birdy a good talking to! It amazed me that she could keep up the charade and get herself out of some pretty awkward situations.
It’s a great summer read!

"This is not murder. This is justice."

This is the latest in this series starring Connor Fraser and what a series it is!

No Quarter Given is a dark and gritty read that is not for the feint-hearted. It has some scenes that some may find distressing as they relate to child abuse so be warned, if this is a trigger for you, I would think before picking this up.

Having given that warning, this is intense, well written and fast paced with excellent characters but amongst the violence and tension, there is dark humour and moments of vulnerability for the main character.

This is an excellent addition to the series and thank you to Little, Brown Book Group via NetGalley for giving me the opportunity of reading and sharing my thoughts.
