I've just finished reading Kelley Armstrong's 'Living with the Dead', a tale of a PR lady caught up in a supernatural turf war in LA. It's a good job that her best friend is a half demon...
'Living with the Dead' doesn't really do anything new (compared to previous books) but what it does do is done very well and I reckon fans will enjoy (I did). My full review is over Here.
I'm now well into Matthew Stover's 'Caine Black Knife' and totally getting why I've heard so many good things about the 'Caine' series...

I've just finished reading Matthew Stover's 'Caine Black Knife' which completely rocked on all levels. A fast moving story with a central character who is completely without morals but is strangely compelling at the same time. My full review is over Here.
I'm now reading 'The Way of Shadows' by Brent Weeks which is looking pretty cool so far...

One email sent... here's hoping
I've just finished reading Brent Weeks' 'The Way of Shadows', a tale of assassins, magic and intrigue... It's sometimes a little on the light side (for me) but is otherwise a fast paced and very entertaining read. My full review is over Here.
I'm now well into Stephen Deas' 'The Adamantine Palace' which is very good indeed!

Over the last couple of days I've finished reading Stephen Deas' 'The Adamantine Palace' (great plot and very entertaining, a little sketchy on the background detail though...) and John Scalzi's 'Zoe's Tale (Scalzi doing what he does best but a book that suffers from basically being a re-telling of events from 'The Last Colony...) Full reviews are up on the blog...
I'm finishing off Keith Baker's 'The Queen of Stone' and I'm now starting on an ARC of R. Scott Bakker's 'The Judging Eye' which is proving to be awesome so far...

I've just finished reading Keith Baker's 'The Queen of Stone', D&D meets James Bond...
Normally a book will inspire some kind of reaction (good or bad) but 'The Queen of Stone' left me completely cold. The very definition of meh'...
There was no sense of... well... anything to the plot. Characters just got on with what they had to do and came ready equipped with the ideal spell for every situation. Fans will like it but it did nothing for me... My full review is over Here.
I'm now well into 'The Judging Eye' and might pick up something short to read on the train...

...might as well continue the theme of Ravensoul suspense, im heading towards the end now, in chapters 37 ish range, and the roller coaster ride left me with a tear in my eye last night....i wont spoil it with any info, but i dare you not to feel the pain when you get there!!
what can i say James, im shattered, reading this book is exhausting.
