Wow .. I can't believe it has been so long since I posted on this thread. It's funny how no mojo affect things!
Since posting I have read,
Through A Glass, Darkly by Bill Hussey
Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's:
"Through a Glass, Darkly" is a modern horror novel that deals with secrets long buried, festering guilt and haunting loneliness. Jack Trent, the most effective CID officer in the history of the department, is having bad dreams. He has seen the murder of a child in a forest at the hands of something indescribable. But these are more than dreams. They are visions of the future that Jack has tried for years to suppress. Something happened to Jack in his childhood; something that means he cannot touch another living person; something that killed his mother, and that has returned to inspire his visions.In a final race against time, events reach a dramatic climax as Jack attempts to save a boy's life in the clearing of Redgrave Forest. Can he face the long-dead Dr Mendicant and the ancient Darkness of Crowman? Can he face the evil living inside himself? And what will he make of the Doctor's final, devastating revelation?
I ended up really enjoying this book. It is very dark in places and quite gory but it preys on all the darkest nightmares you've had about skeletal bogey men. I liked the main characters and apart from my waning mojo probably would have finished it in a couple of days. I would definitely read another Bill Hussey book. 7/10
Clockwork Angel by Cassandra Clare
Synopsis Courtesy of Waterstone's:
Tessa is soon caught in a dangerous love triangle where a wrong decision could prove fatal. She will need all her strength to save her brother and stay alive as she learns the chilling truth of what really lurks on London's streets after dark. Discover more about the mysterious and sexy Shadowhunters in this thrilling prequel trilogy to the bestselling "Mortal Instruments" sequence.
I love this series. I love the writing, the characters and the way the story develops keeping you hooked. Although it took me a month to read, that was nothing to do with the book. My mojo had totally gone. I will definitely be getting the new books in this series and can highly recommend it to all you YA readers as a thoroughly entertaining read. 9/10
