Boring, protagonist is irritating
I'm not going to lie but I struggled to get into this book mostly because it's not the usual genre I prefer. I found the story sinfully boring mostly because all the main character does is run around for the entire book. He also seems super cocky throughout, and for those who hate James Bond - will equally find this annoying. That being said, it's not what I generally read so you might actually enjoy it.

Wow, wow, wow! A friend of mine recommended this book to me, and I'm so glad I read it. It started out a bit slow for the first couple of chaters but then I found that I couldn't put it down!!
The book kept me guessing as there were a lot of plot twists. I also loved all the characters =)
And it's a zombie book, so what else could you want!?!
Definitely give this one a read!!

the game that never lets you down
I couldn't wait for this to be released, as i have played them all, and fall out 4 never let me down once, from the changing your features until the end, the story captivated and drew me in. and just because i clocked the game, it didn't stop there, i found my self making new towns and doing a lot of side quests, definitely value for money as always.

The first book club read of the year, did I enjoy it yes and no, it started very well but dragged on too long, chapter 30 was where I would gave ended it.
It did give you a look at the 10 year old mind and how they see the world, which I found interesting and what a psychiatrist would make of the end I would love to know.
All together an interesting if not drawn out read.

I love Tim's books, they always end up surprising you in the last 10% or so.
However, I didn't like this as much as the first. It might have been because it ran along the same lines as the first with the surprise or because I found myself struggling for the first 30-40% with the story line. I didn't find it as engaging as previous books I've read by the author. It was still a great story though.

4.5 stars
Cade may have been sweet in Losing It but I totally fell for him in this one. To see him try and be happy for Bliss when he loves her; you feel sorry for him and then Max enters his life and, well I dont want to spoil it but they are perfect for each other. Max is completely different to every other New Adult female character Ive read about (and Ive read a fair few) shes tattooed, pierced, has dyed red hair and is in a band. She is completely alternative and a tough nut but you find yourself relating to her in one way or another and I found myself quickly liking her.
Theyre story is very up and down and I found myself willing them on from early on. Sure I guess when stood together they look a little odd but who cares about what others think when you love someone? (I am such a romantic!) They are perfect for each other.
Cora has this way of writing that is both fun and emotional and it is so easy to fall under the spell she weaves. I am so going to read everything else she writes. I am most definitely a fan!
If youre looking for a fun, sexy read then I recommend this book. You dont necessarily have to read Losing It first but it would help you get the gist of where Cades head is at the beginning.
It is amazing!

Caffeinated Fae (464 KP) rated Under the Banner of Heaven: A Story of Violent Faith in Books
Jul 10, 2018
If you look at my recent reads you would know that this is definitely not my normal style. I picked this book up for my book club and I'm glad that I challenged myself to read it. This was a fascinating read.You can tell that the author did a lot of research into the Mormon faith. You can also tell that the author did have creative license when creating this book.
I felt that this book was slow. It took me around 6 days to read this book which is a little long for me. I definitely struggled through this novel but I believe it is because it is not my typical style. All in all, I found the book interesting and I'm glad that I picked it up.

This book was recommended to me by my barista and I'm so glad that read it. It was truly hilarious! I couldn't help but laugh when reading/listening to it.
First off, I normally don't truly laugh when reading a book but I found myself laughing (really laughing) throughout this book. This book was disgusting, horrifying, hilarious, and I would recommend it to anyone that likes something unique, and crass.
The characters are definitely interesting and I kept wondering what else could happen. The twists and turns were exhilarating and I felt like I was on a roller coaster that wanted to not only make you say "What the F***" but laugh while you were shooting down to your inevitable doom.
If you want something fun, unique, and a little taboo definitely read this!

Ugh - 3-4 stars. I love contemporary, etc. but I found the MC in this book to be a wee bit annoying. Yes, what they're doing is awesome because the boys are absolute assholes in this book, but at a certain point when your potential love interest acts like a jerk (somewhat) and you just whine about how sad you are about it.. no thank you. Still, the message was awesome - so applause - girls need to fight back, especially in some of those situations - female empowerment FTW!

Like a zombie devouring flesh, I devoured this horrifying book. As I read this well-written storyline full of blood, trailing intestines and graphic scenes, I found myself thoroughly immersed in the story; I could hear those terrifying moans and screams that came from the zombies, and I could smell the rotten, decaying scent in the air.
This heart-pounding edge of your seat read will keep you in its bloody grip from beginning to end, and I can't wait to get my hands on the next book.
