Short Story of a young Jack Reacher

This is a Jack Reacher Short Story which gives us a look at 13 year old Reacher. He is very similar to adult Reacher, thoughtfully efficient fighter with an uncanny logic to solve mysteries.

The first part of this gives us some nice family background but the end suddenly has Jack solving mysteries super quick. It needed to be a tad longer and let the mysteries develop as it just came across as rather a rapid jump of logic for a 13 year old that adults didn’t get near. I would of been happy just to get a bit more picture of a young Reacher without having the pretty much fully formed characteristics of the adult on show.

All in all an OK quick story; I listened to the audiobook which was around 1 hour and aside from the voice of his Father was well narrated by Kerry Shale. Probably one for just existing Reacher fans.

"Yeah. I mean, if I had to pick my first R-rated movie that I was like, “This is the greatest movie I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” it was Flashdance. My mom took me to see Flashdance when we were really young. It was like way underage for R-rated; you know, you had to go with an adult. She was the adult who took us, because to my mom, it was just a story about a ballerina."

The chronicles of the invaders by John Connolly and JENNIFER RIDYARD
By far above your average young adult series

Young lovers from two different worlds join together against a common foe...... sound chess doesn't it ? Well this is not your average teen love story fare . Connolly can turn his hand to practicaly any genre, he is know as a thriller writer but this series is up there with the best in this category

I got into these by accident. I had read the Twilight series and was on a Vampire kick and I stumbled upon these. There more aimed towards the young adult/early 20's reader but definately a good book to read if you're looking for more vampire! :) I loved them!

Very influential

Honestly I loved reading this book. I believe every teenage or young adult females should read it, especially those going though a difficult time in life. It's very insightful on Lily Collins life and eye opening on extreme real life issues that many people experience.

A new author and new twist on the hidden world of knights and the super natural in the modern world. It held my attention as I read and wanted to know what happens next. The first book on the series. Not intended for young readers. Adult situations and language.
