August book round up.
A pretty good month for reads, 14 books knocked off the old tbr and there were a couple of corkers in there that were absolutely stand out.
The Best of the Month (5* reads):
Gifune hits a home run with this one, I haven't given out many 5* this year but this one deserved every star. For me, even better than The Bleeding Season.
Great characters and an engaging storyline that keeps you feverishly turning the pages, it kept me hooked from the first page to the last. Highly recommended.
This has recommended to me a while ago and I have to say it took a few chapters for me to get into it. However, when I did it was an absolutely cracking read. It's reads like two stories in one but the threads of everything start connecting and everything comes together beautifully.
Charlie Parker is also a fantastic character, his wise cracks had me snorting with laughter on more than one occasion. A great start to series. Highly recommended.
I also read:
A funny dig at SPA's who are behaving like complete twats. A little repetitious but fun to read.
My least favourite of the bunch.
Dense and overly analytical read with a storyline that doesn't really go anywhere and has no real focus. The main character was well written for the purposes of the read but not someone you cared about or felt any connection to. Disappointing.
