Katey Bassett (610 KP) rated Everything I Never Told You in Books
Dec 10, 2018
Loved this debut novel, not only did I feel as though the story was one never quite told like this I really loved the way it captured real grief and how it can tear a family apart or bring them together and now race/gender is something that almost always impacts a persons life and outlook on things, especially in a mixed race family in the early 60s.

Edited on 07/01/19: The graphic novel sticks pretty close to the source material, too!!
<original review>
One of the best books I've (re)read in a long time, "Storm Front" introduces us to the world of Harry Dresden, paranormal investigator for hire.
Superb entry in a new series by (to me) a new author: I think I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for future entries!

One of those (e)-books I read, simply so I can say I've read it! To be fair, don't really know how to rate it: it's (obviously) not a novel, so can't be rated as such, but nor is it a technical manual.
More than anything, I think, it's a series of notes that are meant to be read alone, and in the contexty of the given situation.

David McK (3721 KP) rated Assassin's Reign (Civil War Chronicles #4) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
The fourth of Michael Arnold's Civil War Chronicles, this (I have to say) I actually found to be heavier going than any of the previous. The bulk of this novel concerns the Royalist siege of Gloucester - which, in hindsight, would prove to be the turning point of the war - during which (as any fictional hero would) Captain Stryker finds himself on both sides of the line - echoes, here, of Sharpe's Tiger!
David McK (3721 KP) rated Down Among the Dead Men (Forest Kingdom, #3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Essentially a horror novel within a fantasy setting, this is set in the same world as Simon Green's earlier novels "Blue Moon Rising" and "Blood and Honour"; albeit about 10 years on from "Blue Moon Rising", with the odd reference to the events of that (better) book.
It's also pretty much rote stuff: there's nothing really outstanding about this book that would make it stand out from the crowd.

This novel is classic Hendricks-Pekkanen and it does not disappoint! It is fast paced, engaging and the twists and reveals are well timed to keep the reader interested and guessing. The main character can be a bit grating sometimes but, in the end, her outcome is satisfying. I wish the ending had been a bit more involved or explained but, all in all, a real page-turner!
