Stalking Jack the Ripper

Kerri Maniscalco | 2016 | Fiction & Poetry, Mystery, Young Adult (YA)

7.6

(11 Ratings)

Book Rating

This was one of the few book series that I obsessively read and instantly loved. The romance isn't fast paced, there's historical facts that are interesting, and Maniscalco really knew how to captivate not just me, but other readers too (I got my friend obsessed with this series as well).
I will say, its not for those who don't like the extreme detail on violence and gore, but if you're a fan of crime novels and topics such as Jack the Ripper, then you ought to love this book!
I'm so glad I found this book and would happily recommend this to many people.

The Genesis Fleet: Triumphant

Jack Campbell | 2019 | Science Fiction/Fantasy

Book Rating

Third entry in Jack Campbell's (or should I say John G Hemry, to give him his real name?) 'Genesis Fleet' series, and I've lost count of how many novels there are now in what I'm going to call the various Geary-verse series.

(That's those in 'The Lost Fleet', 'The Lost Fleet: Beyond the Frontier', 'The Lost Stars' and now 'The Genesis Fleet')

All of which, I have to say, I've enjoyed, even if they are now getting a little bit formulaic: 'real time' space battles, last stands against seemingly impossible odds and politics all rolled up into one.

If it ain't broke, however …

;-)

So having read / listened to a few YA novels recently thinking they would lighten the mood I went back to my usual pick of full-on serial killer gore-tastic and why did I ever leave!?! This is my thing apparently (not sure what that says about me!!)

I enjoyed this dark police procedural it ticked all the requirements, evil but clever killer, a determined but troubled police detective (not too much romance.) I listened to the audiobook narrated by CharlottMelen and appreciated the experience of not tripping over the Danish name pronunciation as would have happened if I'd read it.... Not for the weak of stomach.
