Book Review: The Kind Worth Killing

Hey, 

  This review is a little later, than I expected. For that I'm sorry. Welcome back to a new blog post by me. Instead of writing out the questions from my last blog post again. Can all you lovely readers, please go and read them and leave some answers in the comment box below. It would make me happy. I would really appreciate it. Anyway back to this book blog post. This review is all about The Kind Worth Killing by Peter Swanson.

  I'm going to change this blog post a little. By putting the bit about the story first and then I will introduce the author after this piece. Let me know if you like this change and whether or not, I should do more of them in the future. So here is a bit of the blurb, that can be found at the back of all books. If your interested in knowing that. "When his flight gets delayed Ted Severson meets Lily, a magnetic stranger, in the airport bar." "In the netherworld of international travel and too many martinis, he confesses his darkest secrets, about his wife's infidelity and how he wishes her dead." "Without missing a beat she offers to help him carry out the task..." I think that is the perfect amount for you the reader to read. If that doesn't make you go out and buy the book I don't know what will. 

  Know it's time to introduce you, the readers to the talented author who wrote this book. I totally get if you don't want to read this part of the blog and you skip straight to part with my opinion. Here we go, anyway Peter Swanson is the author of three novels: The Girl With a Clock For a Heart, this book which is a LA Times Book Award finalist. This book The Kind Worth Killing is the winner of the New England Society book Award and finalist for the CWA Ian Fleming Steel Dagger; and his most recent, Her Every Fear. His books have been translated into 30 languages, and his stories, poetry, and features have appeared in The Atlantic Monthly, The Guardin and Yankee Magazine just to name a few. Peter Swanson is a graduate of Trinity College, the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and Emerson College. He lives in Somerville, Massachusetts with his wife and cat. 

  The past couple of books I've read recently were all really good. But I think this one has just pushed passed all of these and has come out on top. I'm going to start with the front cover. Whenever I walked past this book when it was on the bookshelf it always made me pick it up and turn it over so I could read the blurb. The large writing and the dark silhouettes of the two people is the reason of how I got into the book. From that moment I was hooked and I couldn't put it down. Each page my imagination was developing further. This book is the perfect thriller it has more twists and turns than a roller coaster at a theme park. It also made me like plot twists, as it had me turning each page faster. The development of all the characters is well written, especially the two main female characters Miranda and Lily my perception of these two women kept changing as I got further into the book. The pace of the story was out of this world. As I got to the end of the book I didn't want it too end. I especially didn't expect the cliffhanger at the end. I just hope there is another book to follow this one. If all of his books are like this I can't wait to find more and read them. 

  I would totally recommend this book to anyone 18 and above as there are many strong scenes and strong language throughout. Overall I would give this book a 10/10 or five stars.

Book Review: Me Before You

Hey, 

  Welcome back to all my lovely readers. So it is a new month, so new book reviews to read! First to all my readers, can you please give me some feedback please. I would really appreciate it whether it be on the reviews itself or it's on the type of books I read. If I receive the feedback I can put it into good use adapt the changes and put them into my reviews to make them better for your viewing. Anyway back to the review, the review is all about Me Before You by JoJo Moyes.

  My lovely readers will definitely know what happens next. Thank you for your constant support. To all my new readers who are reading these reviews. This is the part of the review where I introduce the author of the book to you the reader. If you're not interested you can skip this part I don't mind. The author of this book is JoJo Moyes is a novelist and a journalist. She worked at the independent for ten years before leaving to write full time. This book has sold over five million copies worldwide and went to the top of the charts in nine countries. JoJo Moyes is one of the few authors to have had three novels on the New York Times Bestseller list at the same time. There is a film adaptation of this book out now. JoJo Moyes lives in Essex U.K. with her husband with their three children. 

  The next part of my book blog post is all about knowing what the book is actually about. So this means that I get to tell you a bit about the book with the help of the blurb. It's only going to be a small amount though. Here we go, "Lou Clark knows lots of things. But what she doesn't know is that she is about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane." "Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live." "What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And  neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time." See I said they were only going to be small parts of information as there is nothing worse than someone spoiling a good book. I hate that!! 

  Where do I start? I knew a lot of people were saying that they enjoyed reading this book. So I went out and bought it for myself and boy, they were not wrong. Normally I don't like a prologue as it sometimes gives away what is going to happen next. But in case I thought it was the right thing to do as it instantly made you want to turn to the next page as soon as possible. Once I read that first chapter I was hooked. As soon as the plot of story got revealed, I definitely felt some of the old heart strings going. But when I read about the plot I just wanted to keep on reading and couldn't put it down even though I didn't want it to end. I especially loved the way that JoJo Moyes wrote the characters. Mainly Lou and Will though. Lou reminds me of me sometimes always being pushed to achieve my goal. This book is a eye-opener into the lives of a person who doesn't have a able body and how they feel. Made me more thankful for the life I have. Overall JoJo I'm glad that I read this book and I can't wait to read the sequel. 

  I would totally recommend this book to the audience of 16 and above. To the people who enjoy a good romantic story or a little cry go out and buy this book. You won't regret it at all. I will give this book a solid 10/10 in other words a five out of five stars.
