‘As Good As Dead’ by Holly Jackson

This is the third book of a trilogy. I’d not read the first two, so spent the first half of this book trying to catch-up on a complicated story. About halfway through, I was up to speed and things started improving, the second half of the book was great.

I would definitely have given it a better rating if it had started about halfway through, or read the previous two in the trilogy.

Very exciting read, you were routing for Pip to work it all out without leaving anything to chance.

I would recommend.

‘The Book With No Name’ by Anonymous

This was a recommendation.

I actually really quite enjoyed it. Not a book I would naturally pick up and read.

Think ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ meets ‘The X-Files’ meets ‘The Da Vinci code’. It has gangsters, karate monks, hitmen, cops, local gangs, and a serial killer. Together with the mysterious ‘Eye of the Moon’ pendant that everyone wants, the woman who recently came out of a 5-year coma, and a book that whoever reads ends up dead…it is a full-on horror spectacular.

It really shouldn’t work. But somehow it does.

Definitely worth a read.
