Tina's Inundation

Perfect Heist by Elsa Joseph My rating: 4 of 5 stars "Perfect Heist" is a romantic thriller that won't have you teetering on the edge of your seat, its suspense simmers slowly, drawing you into a world of intrigue and morally grey characters. The protagonist, Serena, is far from an anti-hero, her penchant for skirting the rules and her questionable choices may leave readers conflicted. I found myself sympathising more with her father. Yet, there's an undeniable allure to Serena's confidence and resourcefulness. While the thriller aspects are present, the pacing leans more towards a slow-burn mystery. The romantic thread, interwoven with the heist plot, adds a layer of complexity and emotional investment. This focus on character development and relationship dynamics may not satisfy readers seeking a heart-pounding thrill ride. However, for those who appreciate a thoughtful, character-driven suspense with a hint of romance, "Perfect Heist" offers a re

Achilles in Heels : An Exposé of a Neurotic Adolescence by Theophanes Avery My rating: 4 of 5 stars I have to admit to occasionally reviewing a book that is so far out of my own comfort zone, that it takes me awhile to recover. That is, of course, Achilles in Heels: An Exposé of a Neurotic Adolescence by Theophanes Avery. This novel is full of fun, humour, adventure and hijinks, that you can't help as a reader to be entertained. You will also become undoubtedly extremely engrossed to see just how this story will pan out. As a boy masquerading as a girl so that he cannot die in battle as it has been foretold, this is has got to be one of the most extreme solutions to solve a problem there has ever been. Still it makes for interesting reading and although I won't be changing my favourite reads, I thoroughly enjoyed my little excursion! View all my reviews  

Hyenas: A Horror Thriller by Michael Sellars My rating: 4 of 5 stars Hyenas. The world as we know it has gone to pot and this is what is left. Insane, blood thirsty humans who are sporting vocalisations that mimic Hyenas. It is this title that attracted me to this book. One added bonus, for me anyway, is that it is set in the UK, too. Jay is our protagonist and he, amongst a varying group of others, are making their way to their salvation: a boat. Apart from Hyenas there is a group of militia that they will also need to avoid. The novel is packed with action and, despite there being only so many ways you can describe random attacks from the zombies, it doesn’t feel repetitive. Michael Sellers has overcome this particular problem well. The militia group wasn’t in it enough, to my mind. However, I loved the style of writing and the banter between those who are struggling to survive. The novel is what I class as an ‘easy read’ and is a book that you will probably read through quite qui

  Diary of a Female GP by Joni Martins My rating: 2 of 5 stars For those fascinated by healthcare, books like Diary of a Female GP hold the potential to be both insightful and enthralling, offering a glimpse into the life of a doctor. However, this particular non-fiction account, undoubtedly and disappointingly falls short in so many areas. Whilst, a foray into the home life of said GP is necessary to balance out the narrative, it would be preferable if such accounts were funny, relevant and even entertaining. In this book, this just doesn’t happen. If anything, it just serves to build up resentment and unsympathic views from the reader. With so many fantastic books on the topic, you have a great opportunity to find one that perfectly suits your interests. If you're looking for something light and engaging, there might be other options that fit the bill. View all my reviews
