Review: Upon Waking

Upon Waking Upon Waking by J.R. Park
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I've had a few people tell me that I need to check out J. R. Park.
Well I finally gave in. I'm so glad I did! This was a really fun read. It's brutal, and I mean ridiculously, graphically violent.
I was squirming more than once. I loved every minute of this and it felt as though I'd read it all in about five mins. So fun it just flew.
Definitely one to recommend.

Review: JEDI Summer: With the Magnetic Kid

JEDI Summer: With the Magnetic Kid JEDI Summer: With the Magnetic Kid by John Boden
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Jedi Summer - well that book just ruined my early night. I enjoyed it so much that I had to stay up
And finish it. Everyone loves a good
Coming of age story don't they? At least I do. This one was different though. It wasn't all perfect memories of laughs, smiles and bike rides. Some of this book was genuinely quite saddening. But a lot of it actually brought a smile to my face as well. I was born mid eighties so didn't really encounter the joys of childhood playing out until the decade after this story is set. That doesn't matter though, the sentiment is there and I could relate to a lot
Of it.
This story is by no means horror, but there were certainly some parts that set a chill down your spine. No one said they saw a ghost as such, but then, they didn't say that the hasn't seen one either.
I think we've all had those moments when we've raised serious questions about something we've seen at one point or another in life. Was it really there?
All round this was a breath of fresh air to read. Very unique and very fun. I would really have loved it to have carried on, but then. It couldn't. Summers over.

Review: Darkness on the Edge of Town

Darkness on the Edge of Town Darkness on the Edge of Town by Brian Keene
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Darkness at the edge of
Town- I've really enjoyed a few things by Brian Keene. The Rising especially, this one is up there with that.
It's very similar to
Under the dome and the mist, but having said that it's also very unique in its own right.
A great story of how mankind can turn to hell when the lights go out. This was a fun book to read and I loved pretty much every minute of it.

Review: Skud

Skud Skud by Lewis Duncan
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Skud- this was my first read of Lewis Duncan. In fact I think it's his debut release, so I wasn't really sure what to expect. I have to say that I enjoyed it a lot. It's action packed for sure with some pretty brutal scenes. But it's more than just a crazy zombie story. It's compassionate, you feel the love that skud has for his sister and everything in you wills them to survive this encounter.
Really good story and I'll be reading more from mr Duncan.
