I really enjoyed this book. It was a very quick read and made me want to keep reading. I did have to stop a few times to calm my nerves back down. I feel like this is a book that will stay with me for a while, it makes you think twice about trusting people. It also shows that what you see is not always what you get and if something appears too good to be true, it probably isn't true. I am very happy that I read this book and I would recommend it to anyone who wants a great thriller.
Twisty turny tech, Fear the AI
Not eloquently written by any means but oh not what a ride, the story is gripping edgy, nerve wracking and you just don't want to stop reading.
I couldn't wait to get to the next chapter to find out what was happening with Robert and Ambra or Julian and Bishop Valdespino or even Winston who was a charming addition to the story.
This will have you on the edge of your seat and in the end you will understand why everything happened as it did.
Highly reccomended reading.

I picked this one up during the summer for a holiday read, but have only just got around to reading it now.
And, I have to say, I was really impressed with it.
Telling the story of Tau Solarin, this probably falls somewhere between high fantasy (yes, there are dragons but no elves or dwarves or such like) and heroic fantasy (none of the characters are really what you would call conventional heroes!), but nor is it what I would call Dark fantasy (you can understand why they are doing what they are doing, with none of the characters really anti-heroes).
I'm looking forward to finding out more about the background, culture, beliefs and (in general) the world in future instalments: just what was The Cull, for instance, and why did the Omehi have to flee from it?
At that, how did the caste system come about? Will it be overthrown ... ?

You should probably start at the beginning!
Independent reviewer for BookSirens, I was gifted my copy of this book.
So, here's the thing. The blurb grabbed, it really did, even though it's the lsst in series, it says it can be read as a stand alone book. And I have no doubt that for some, it can. But for me? I missed something, I really did.
There were a lot of characters who grabbed me far more than Seb, Ace or River did and I think that's where I missed not reading any previous books.
So, here's what I did like.
All three have a say, and I liked getting into all three heads.
It's a slower burn book,. but once these three get with what Fate has in store for them, it's steamy and smexy. I liked that contrast in the before and after.
I didn't like how Seb and Ace were with River in the beginning, but given what happens later, I fully understand why they did what they did, to keep themselves away from River.
I'm just not sure this was the book for me to start with! And that's entirely my own fault, since it does it's last in series. I will, however, try something else of Primer's work, since this is the first I've read of their work.
But I finished it, and it had a satisfactory ending. I really liked the epilogues!

Wow.
I have been hooked, still am.
I have listened to the 1st series more than once. The episodes are so intriguing and draw you in.
An investigation into the death of 21 year old Christian Andriacchio, the first series dives into timelines, exclusive interviews, evidence and the 911 call. The family are suspicious and are 100% convinced foul play, but a 45 minute police investigation ruled it a suicide.
What happened? Was this murder? Or just a tragic story with a sad ending?
I must say I did my own research alongside the podcast, and if you jump down the rabbit hole like I did, you are bound to dig up things the P.D didnt want you to see.
Let me know in the comments if you listened, and if you are excited for season 2.

I did enjoy it but cringed at some of the visual effects, well it was nearly twenty years ago, but what made it interesting for me were the amount of modern day Hollywood actors who were obviously younger, you would not get them all together in todays film as the budget would not be there.
