Gisell Middleton (189 KP) rated The Dark Bones in Books
Aug 20, 2019
This follow up to A Dark Lure did not disappoint. Set in the same area, it revisits a few characters from the debut but is almost entirely a stand alone novel. It was exciting and thrilling, just like it’s predecessor. The characters were well rounded and had the depth and realism that make a great novel. I wish the “initial” case had been delved into a bit deeper but I was very happy with the story and all its components. Can’t wait to see what comes next!

Gripping and thrilling
This book is an entirely unexpected revelation. I've seen the good reviews but just assumed it was yet another run of the mill crime/murder mystery thriller (I may have skim read the synopsis), but I couldn't have been more wrong.
It starts off fairly slowly, but a part of the way in I was hooked. Its a gripping and truly thrilling tale of espionage, terrorism and with a little bit of murder mystery thrown in too. Its well written for the most part and Scott/Brodie/Pilgrim is an interesting and likeable main character. The story itself is so detailed and descriptive, you can't doubt any of it and once it gets going, it really progresses at a very quick pace. The fact that it has links to 9/11 too was also very well done and quite emotional.
My only criticisms are some of the actions of Pilgrim are a little dumb or unbelievable at times, especially considering he's meant to be one of the best. But other than that, this is a fantastic, albeit maybe slightly too long, thriller that really keeps you hooked.

Book Divas (227 KP) rated Water Under the Bridge (The Water Trilogy #1) in Books
Dec 12, 2017
This author's unique and creative writing style took me a few chapters to get use to it and in to it as it is narrated in first person but once I fell in there, I was completely held captive by the story line and the characters. This is not your typical, everyday romance, and this was honestly an intriguing and thrilling read.

Ross (3284 KP) rated Blood of the Mantis in Books
Sep 13, 2017
Here the series starts to fragment into a number of threads, all of which are key to the plot of the whole series.
Tisamon takes his half-blood daughter to be trained as a weaponsmaster, these scenes being quite emotional yet thrilling.
The Wasp Empire continue to be as annoying as their insect namesakes.
Overall, this book is like a big game of capture-the-flag, with everyone trying to get their hands on the shadow box, a mystical implement of unknown powers (but if the Wasps want it it must be bad!).

Ross (3284 KP) rated Salute the Dark in Books
Sep 13, 2017
For me this marked the end of the first part of the series, as a lot of loose ends are tied up and this could have ended the series as a whole.
There are a number of conclusive battles/conflicts and the interaction between Tisamaon and Felise leads to some excellent scenes.
The thrilling conclusion puts an end to the Wasps' onslaught across the lowlands and sets up the next set of books to follow.
There is a definite downturn in quality from this point onwards, but it does improve again later.

Another thrilling page-turner from James. A definite step up in form from the previous instalment, Fire in the Blood. Cullen is this time part of the team investigating the apparent suicide of a young man in West Lothian. As usual, the case expands from there with the body count increasing and the twists and turns, lies and confessions are in abundance.
Other than one or two slightly clunky plot devices (working out someone's identity from their chat board user name) this was a compelling, well-written crime novel.
