Reviews in this series: The Last Echo #3

Description: Violet thought she'd made peace with her unique ability to sense the echoes of the dead and the imprints that cling to their killers.... that is until she acquired an imprint of her own. Forced to carry a reminder of the horrible events of her kidnapping, Violet is more determined than ever to lead a normal life. However, the people who run the special investigative team Violet works for have no intention of letting her go.

When someone close to Violet becomes a suspect in a horrific murder, she finds herself pulled into a deadly hunt for a madman with an army of devoted followers. Violet has survived dangerous situations before, but she quickly discovers that protecting those closest to her is far more difficult than protecting herself.

Review:

The author gives you a snippet of what happens at the end of the book which you don't know at first which totally sucks you in.

There isn't much to say about this book because once again Violer is having to catch a killer after she stumbles across some bodies, but this time her friends are there to help her.

If I remember rightly Violets Granmother is really mentioned all that much other then to let you know Violet inherited her gifts from her Granmother. So I liked getting to read parts of her Granmothers diary and what it was like for her to have the same ability that Violet does.

You also learn more about the centre also know as the circle of seven as it's been kept pretty hush hush so far. I'm not going to give to much away but you are left wondering who's behind the centre and what their real goal is.

I was unable to put it down and hopefully the author is writing another book in this series.

Rating: 5/5

Would I Recommend?: yes

Rivers of London - Ben Aaronovitch Review

Hey

Here is another book review.

Rivers Of London (Peter Grant #1)

Description: Probationary Constanle Peter Grant dreams of being a detective in London's Metropolitan Police. Too bad his superior plans to assign him to the Case Progression Unit, where the biggest threat he'll face is a paper cut. But Peter's prospects change in the aftermath of a puzzling murder, when he gains exclusive information from an eyewitness who happens to be a ghost. Peter's ability to speak with the lingering dead brings him to the attention of Detective Chief Inspector Thomad Nightingale, who investigates crimes involving magic and other manifestations of the uncanny. Now, as a wave of brutal and bizarre murders engulfs the city, Peter is plunged into a world where gods and goddesses mingle with mortals and long-dead evil is making a comeback on a rising ride of magic.

Review: I saw Tanya Burr (YouTube) was reading this and she said it was really good, and being a fan of hers I decided I would give it a go and I'm sad to say that I didn't like this book whatsoever. I think the storyline would have been a good one but was unfortunatley filled with unnecessary crap and was highly dragged out. There was a ton of information that was so darn confusing (mother & father Thames) that I literally can remember nothing about it.

The concept of the book was good but would have been better if it had been written by a different author.

I liked the fact that it was set in London which is where I live so it was nice to be able to recognise the places they were traveling too.

The ending was beyond crap. The author could have found a better way to end it even though he ended it like he did so we would all want to read the next one.

On a whole I'm disappointed with this book.

My Rating: 2/5 

Would I recommend?: No, I think there are better books out there.
