Kelsey Tate is blindsided when someone accuses her great-grandmother, a Titanic survivor, of being an impostor. As her world spins out of control, can Kelsey learn the truth in order to save her family's firm? While normally I find the author hard to put down, this one took quite a while to get going. The characters were good and the second half strong, but the first half wasn't up to par.

A different type of Zombie novel
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is the first book in the series following the zombie apocalypse. Seen through the eyes of one lone survivor recording events in his journal as he tries to make it out of an infested London. Have to admit I was a little unsure at first but after the first couple of pages I couldn't put this down. Even in the slower sections it's a great read. If you want to read something a little bit different but still with plenty of Zombies this is the book

Modern day Robinson Crusoe tale (from the year 2000, and without a Man Friday) in which Tom Hanks time obsessed FedEx courier Chuck Nolan is the sole survivor of a plane crash somewhere in the Pacific, and finds himself washed ashore on the island of Lian Yu...

(sorry, sorry, that's the name of the island that Oliver Queen spent 5 years on in TVs 'Arrow')

Slightly slow getting started, maybe, and also perhaps a bit on the overlong side. I have to say, however, that Wilson steals all the scenes he's in!
