I Am Wrath review

 

Synopsis:

My wrath knows no bounds. Your torment knows no end. 

An Arizona prison officer climbs his watchtower and opens fire on the inmates and guards below. Federal investigator Marcus Williams needs to know why. What he unearths is that the prison has become the hunting ground of a psychopath known only as 'Judas'.

To uncover Judas' identity, Williams must join forces with serial killer Francis Ackerman Jr. While Williams works the case from the outside, Ackerman Jr. goes undercover among the prisoners on the inside. What neither of them know is just how diabolically ambitious Judas' master plan is...

My Review: 
I enjoyed this book but felt it just wasn’t quite as thrilling as the previous books in the series, most noticeably in the middle of the book where i think the plot lagged a little and I struggled to find the motivation to keep reading.

However I really enjoyed certain aspects of this interesting and original plot, especially the diary entries from Judas which added an air of mystery and intrigue. I think the ending was also good because it certainly wasn’t the ending I was expecting.

Again, Ackerman was the standout character for me in this book, i love his twisted morals and abrupt sense of humour. I really liked his interactions with Maggie in this book, serving up some of the funniest parts of the story but also showing that this could be a very strong platonic relationship if it is developed further in the next books.

My Rating: 7/10

The Babylonian Empire review

  Synopsis: The Babylonians were indisputably a formidable force in the ancient world’s stage, but how did they rise to power three separate times in Middle Eastern history? What led to their cataclysmic falls? And why did everyone keep stealing their chief god Marduk? Dive into the riveting stories of the remarkable Babylonians, who transformed the Middle East and left an enduring legacy. Thoroughly researched, engaging, and easy to read, this book will guide you through the fascinating history of a civilization that has left an indelible mark on our world. My review: A very thorough review of the Babylonian empire, includes some interesting facts and stories yet unfortunately was a little bit confusing and uninspiring. I felt that some parts of the book could have been written in a more clear manner. However, lots of good images and diagrams which helped to tell the history of this ancient kingdom. I particularly enjoyed the chapters about Babylonian culture and innovation - i di...

She took a job on this isolated island to hide from him, but now that he's out of prison, having served a term for murder, she knows he won’t give up until he finds her.   But a doctor delving into the background of Felicity and Freddie's relationship, back in Cambridge, learns that Felicity has been on the edge for a long time. Heading to South Georgia himself to try and get to her first is the only way he can think of to help her. My Review: A good thriller with some great twists that I didn’t seen coming, and others that were blindingly obvious, set in the isolated polar island of South Georgia, as well as the picturesque city of Cambridge I enjoyed how the plot was separated into 4 parts, the first in present d...

The Five Greatest Warriors - review

  Synopsis: As the world teeters on the brink of destruction, Jack West Jr learns of the Five Warriors who throughout history have been intimately connected to his quest. Now in a race against his enemies he must locate and set in place the remaining pieces of The Machine before the coming Armageddon when oceans will rise and cities will fall. My Review: The Jack West Jr series is great because the novels allow you to suspend disbelief for a few hours and fully immerse yourself in complex, twisty adventures that span every continent, from the Pyramids of Egypt to Loch Ness. Reilly never fails to amaze me with the way that history from many different eras is weaved into the plot, giving great backstories to the intricate trap systems and lost civilisations that are part of Jack’s adventures, and this book is the best one yet with figures such as Genghis Khan and Jesus being involved with the plan to destroy the world. I also love the camaraderie of the group and how all the differen...
