Miwa renders gunfights so vividly you can feel your teeth rattle from the recoil. There is a real sense of motion to these fights.

I’m not normally one for workplace romances but I had such a great time with these characters and I couldn’t help but to root for them.
Book Review: Breath

More than a self-help book, don’t let the science of it put you off, because this is human history and evolution at its most simple.
Book Review: The Night Circus

Twisting through plots like a winding path, it slowly weaves itself together into a bizarre story of immortals, romance and above all, a bet.

Starling’s prose dances between poetry and splatter film, with dreamlike sequences of hallucinations before slamming Margaret back to her bed.

Despite occasionally finding it too plot focused, this was a very fascinating and enjoyable read, and a brilliant start to the series.
Book Review: The Cut Throat Trial

There are no heroes here; every single character is deeply flawed, not just the three teenage boys accused of murder.
