Great book I want to read all the other books in the series NOW. Intriguing plot, humorous writing, great characters. Lock yourself away and read it uninterrupted.

Review: The Creeping Shadow

The Creeping Shadow by Jonathan Stroud
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fabulous to catch up with Lockwood and Co again who are being drawn into the conspiracy surrounding "the problem" (the appearance of ghosts over the last fifty years) while they do battle with the Ealing Cannibal , an eyeless girl and other lurking shades.

Review: Running Girl

Running Girl by Simon Mason
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A good murder mystery which kept the reveal of the killer until the last few pages. Looking forward to moving on to the next mystery for Garvie to solve - Kid got shot.

Review: The Handmaid's Tale

The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Inspired by the promotion of the new television series I read this book over the holidays. It is a dystopian tale and disturbing not for what happens but for how easily you can believe it might happen, here or in other western countries. I recommend reading it as a warning for what could happen - the price of liberty is eternal vigilance.

Review: Tower of Dawn

Tower of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a refreshing break in the series. I was suffering from an Aelin overload and moving away from her story and focusing on another character (Chaol) was interesting whilst still moving the general storyline along with a few new discoveries leading us back to the main storyline. It renewed my interest and I am looking forward to the next book.
