WWW Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Taking on a World of Words, where bloggers share the books that they’ve recently finished, what they are currently reading and what books they are planning to read next. Essentially you have to answer three questions (the Three Ws):

What are you currently reading?
What did you recently finish reading?
What do you think you’ll read next?

So, let’s get to it.

What are you currently reading?

Black River by Matthew Spencer (Trade Paperback)

I’ve been in a bit of an Australian crime fiction mood recently so I just started reading the cool new Australian murder mystery novel, Black River.  The debut book from author Matthew Spencer, Black River follows the intense investigation into a series of murders in Sydney.  A powerful and dark read, I am pretty hooked on the compelling mystery at the moment and should hopefully finish this off soon.

 

Kagen the Damned by Jonathan Maberry (Audiobook)

I finally managed to start listening to the latest book from one of my favourite authors, Jonathan Maberry.  Taking a break from his usual horror and science fiction thriller novels, Maberry has dived into the epic fantasy genre in a big way with Kagen the Damned.  Following a despair riddled hero, the titular Kagen, as he attempts to get revenge for the dead royal family he served, this is an extremely dark novel, with a ton of brutal action and over-the-top violence in it.  I am already a few hours in and I am enjoying seeing the author’s transition to a new genre, as well as the compelling narrative Kagen the Damned contains.  I am extremely curious to see where the rest of the story goes, and this will probably end up being one of the best books I read all year.
