Review: Lockdown

Lockdown by Sean Black

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



I really struggled at the start of this book. I just couldn't get into it and my concentration was everywhere but the book.
Reading when poorly is not always a good idea.
Luckily i'd seen some good reviews on the book by a couple of trusted book bloggers, so i put it down for a few days and started it again when i felt a little better.

Right from the start then, I liked Ryan Lock, the main character. (only liked.. so my reading blogger friend Kat, doesn't have to rip my eyes out thinking i want him)
He just seemed like one of those guys you want with you if you were ever in trouble, someone you could count on. he's an ex soldier turned elite bodyguard.
The story line was very good and kept you on your toes right the way through the book.
I'm glad i picked the book up again, and i look forward to reading more from this author.
New York. It may be Christmas in New York, but for ex-soldier turned elite bodyguard Ryan Lock, it's business as usual: his mission is to protect one of America's most ruthless businessmen. A Bloody Shoot-Out. Suddenly gunshots ring out. People run for cover. Innocent people are mown down. Amid the chaos, Lock's hunt for the killers turns into an explosive game of cat and mouse. A Deadly Secret. Lock's search for the truth takes him from the rooftops of a New York skyscraper to a heavily fortified warehouse on the Hudson where he confronts one of the world's most dangerous women. As the clock ticks towards midnight on New Year's Eve, all routes into and out of Manhattan are sealed, and Lock realises that not only is his own life in terrible danger but so are the lives of millions of others...

Review: Breaking Away

Breaking Away by Heather Atkinson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



Breaking Away
I have recently read the fantastic Dividing Line series by this author, and it seemed the next thing to do was start this series.
book one Breaking away- Starts off with Laura and Daryl in what I would call a not so great relationship. Its only after a lottery win she decides to leave, but has left it a little late, and Daryl turns into a major monster..
She soon enters a new relationship with Daryls best friends, The big hunky Zak. But will she ever be rid of Daryl, will he really let her leave and move on so easily?
The story starts to build right from the beginning, and to be honest it just has you gripped the whole way through, a really "need to keep reading book...
I thouroughly enjoyed the read and the Characters are realistic, to the point many times i found myself wanting to punch them, or shout out at them. And at one point I also filled up with tears, sooooo glad i was on my own at that point.

Contains sex, strong language, violence and scenes of domestic abuse.

Review: The Avenged

The Avenged by Charles Prandy

My rating: 4 of 5 stars



The Avenged (Kindle Edition)
After reading another book reviewers review on this, I really wanted to give it a try. And i'm glad i did. Homicide Detective Jacob Hayden from the third district and partner Charlie Evans set out to deal with what looks like a drug related street murder.
Things soon take a turn and the story really gets going. The plot is fast paced and keeps you needing to read on.
Jacob ends up dealing with not only his own demons, but a bent judge- Bent coppers - Drug dealers - Snipers - death - death - and more death.
It's hard to tell as you get through the book who is and who isn't Bent/corrupt. And just who can and can't be trusted.
A great read with plenty happening with twist and turns all the way through.
But will Detective Jacob Hayden survive this investigation with so much against him. You better read the book to find out.
