Stephen Lloyd Jones

Well this book certainly starts as it means to go on! Right from the off there is 1 bloody dead body and the body count continues to rise. Im not sure what category I would put this book in, Supernatural Thriller would be the most accurate – I think!!

Fast paced and unbelievably hard to put down so be prepared to lose some sleep!

The beginning of the book was almost like I had jumped straight into the middle of a story as opposed to just beginning one, but thankfully we do eventually get the back story to our two protagonists and it clicks everything into place and explains things that some of us might not have already worked out.

The two main characters, Mallory and Obadiah both have a story to tell as well as their shared one and even though they make a strange couple, i guess opposites do attract! Mallory – hard as nails, cynical, defensive and a complete negative view to life, whereas Obe – gentle, kind, compassionate and his positive outlook to life make for some interesting reading.

This is quite a hard book to review without giving too much away so I will just leave my review as my impressions and thoughts as opposed to out laying the storyline beyond what you already know so I don’t ruin it for anyone. I didn’t know what to expect when I picked this book up as the book blurb doesn’t give too much away and for me that added to the books appeal so my advice – just go for it and enjoy one hell of a story!

Even if you’re not a huge fantasy / sci-fi fan, if you enjoy a fast paced thriller you will enjoy this!… (más)

The second book of the series wasn’t a disappointment. Although the author would have been asked a Hungarian speaker’s help because some incorrect use of the Hungarian words were annoying. The biggest problem in my opinion is the typical ‘sequel illness ‘ of the book, when it desperately tries to be more and better than the previous one. Next to a ‘tanács’ coup we have the ‘lélektolvajok’ (yes it’s one word) just out of the blue and (in the lamest tradition of sequels) it turns out that someone believed to be dead, isn’t so.... Apart from all of these what we have is a pen interesting and exciting page turner.… (más)
