To Kill a Man, The Unsettling Stars Covers

To Kill a Man by Sam Bourne (Trade Paperback)

I have been meaning to read some of Sam Bourne’s stuff for a couple of years now, but never quite had the time.  So when I was lucky enough to receive a copy of his latest book, To Kill a Man, earlier this week, I jumped at the chance and started reading it.  I am about halfway through at the moment, and so far I am finding it to be a fantastic and clever political thriller.

Star Trek: The Unsettling Stars by Alan Dean Foster (Audiobook)

I’ve been really getting into Star Trek extended fiction over the last year, so it didn’t take make to convince me to look at the latest Star Trek book to come out.  The Unsettling Stars is set in the alternate timeline that the 2008 Star Trek film created and follows the young crew of the Enterprise right after the events of the movie.  I am really enjoying this audiobook, and it has an intriguing story to it.

Gathering Dark, House of Earth and Blood Covers

Gathering Dark by Candice Fox (Trade Paperback)

I just started reading this fun thriller from Australian author Candice Fox, and so far it is pretty interesting.  Gathering Dark follows four very different women in Los Angeles as they team up to save a lost girl, and it is a rather cool concept so far.  Looking forward to seeing how this one ends up.

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas (Audiobook)

I am still getting through this massive book, but it is still really good.  I love the vast new fantasy world Maas has created, and the epic story weaving through it is extremely compelling.

Hitler's Secret, House of Earth and Blood Covers
Hitler’s Secret by Rory Clements (Trade Paperback)

This is the fourth book in Clements’s Tom Wilde series of historical thrillers, a series that I have been reading from the start (check out my reviews for the last two books, Nucleus and Nemesis).  I am about halfway through Hitler’s Secret at the moment, and so far it is  probably my favourite book in the series.

House of Earth and Blood by Sarah J. Maas (Audiobook)

I started listening to this book earlier in the week, and I am only a few hours in so far.  Maas is one of the author’s I have been meaning to read more of, especially after I had such a good time with her comic book novel, Catwoman: Soulstealer.  I am actually really enjoying this book at the moment, and Maas has come up with a compelling story inside a vast new fantasy world.  I am very curious to see where this story ends up, although it might take me a little while to get through.

Book Haul – 17 March 2020

On By The Unseen LibraryIn Book HaulLeave a comment

The books have been coming in a little slower the last couple of weeks, but I’ve managed to pick up a few intriguing reads which I think could be quite good. As I am hoping to get a bunch of new books in the coming weeks, I thought it would be useful to do a quick book haul post.  All of the novels below sound fun and I am looking forward to checking them out.

Gathering Dark by Candice Fox

Gathering Dark Cover

A fun sounding crime fiction thriller from a talented Australian author that follows four very different women as they attempt to save a child.  It sounds cool and I am hoping to read it in the next couple of weeks.

Rules for Perfect Murders by Peter Swanson

Rules for Perfect Murders Cover

This is an extremely intriguing murder mystery book with a lot of potential.  Rules for Perfect Murders, which is also being released as Eight Perfect Murders, has an awesome sounding plot, and I cannot wait to see how this compelling mystery unfolds.

The Viennese Girl by Jenny Lecoat

The Viennese Girl Cover

This one also sounds quite interesting.  A compelling and no doubt tragic historical drama based around the Nazi invasion of the Channel Islands (Jersey in particular), this one should be an excellent read.

Walk the Wire by David Baldacci

Walk the Wire Cover

The latest novel from bestselling author David Baldacci, this is another intriguing thriller from an author I really need to start reading.

The Abstainer by Ian McGuire

The Abstainer Cover

An exciting historical thriller that focuses on Irish rebels operating in London in the 19th century.

The Bear Pit by S. G. MacLean

The Bear Pit Cover

This is a book that I have been looking forward to for a while, and it was actually one of the novels I wish I had read in 2019.  I grabbed this the other day when I finally saw a good copy in the bookshop and I will hopefully read it when I get a quiet day or two.

 

That’s it for this latest book haul  post.  I am very happy with all the above books I have recently received, and each of them should prove to be really fun to read.  Let me know which of the above books you are most excited about and I’ll try to get to them ASAP.
