The Haunted By Niki Valentine.

Hey Guys,
Another book review i am on a roll =]

Blurb/Synopsis: Arriving in the Scottish Highlands, Martin and Sue leave their luxury hotel with romantic thoughts of spending a night together in an abandoned bothy. When a storm strikes, they find themselves stranded in the simple hut, miles from anywhere and completely isolated. As gentle bickering leads to violent arguments, Sue starts to sense they are not truly alone - a deep, dark presence appears to have taken hold of them. With no way to escape, Sue and Martin must try to hold on to their sanity as their shelter becomes a prison and their thoughts turn Murderous.
Good quick easy read that had me turning the pages quickly. Only 405 pages in this book and i read this book in three nights. I would recommend this book, but not highly. I enjoyed the book but it was kind of predictable, you know when the twists and turns were coming and i knew what would happen in the end. I did start to feel for Sue and Martin, but at the same time i felt the book was a tad rubbish because i knew what was coming before it even happened so i wouldn't read again. The ending was rubbish and blunt and i think would of been better if the ending was longer and more graffic. I give this book a 2.5 out of 5 as i did enjoy it, as it passed the time away before going to sleep it's just the blurb made it sounds a great read and i just don't feel i got that.

Midnight's Lair By Richard Laymon.

Hey guys,
Another Richard Laymon book review.

Blurb/Synopsis: Mordock's Cave is one of the spectacular wonders of the world, a place where thousands of sightseers every year take an awe-inspiring boat trip on a lake deep beneath the earth's surface to marvel at Nature's handiwork. But the darkness is also the home of things Nature never intended - things violent, bestial, and obscenely evil. When a sudden power failure incapacitates the elevator to the surface, a group of tourists is trapped in the underground depths. Cold and scared, without lights or food, their only hope is to find an escape route through the sealed-off end of the cavern. But their explorations uncover a nest of horrors that has lain hidden for generations, and their idyllic underground journey becomes a nightmare trip through hell, as they find themselves battling for survival against the creatures of the abyss.
Yet another good gripping read from Richard Laymon, i do enjoy reading his books and will have  author review up shortly. The caves secret is revealed and many people get hurts some even killed. This is told from many characters point of view in third person. Still gruesome parts in bok that don't really need to be in, but then again other peopl may have other opinions. It was a good ending but became a bit of a flop as there was no epilogue to see what happens to some characters after everything. Will give this book a 3 out of 5 as it did give me shivers at some parts.
See you sson with Richard Laymon author review.

If i Stay By Gayle Forman.

Hey guys,
I'm back with another book review for you all. If I stay isn't a book I would typically go for as I think it is written more for teens than adults, but the blurb/synopsis painted a gripping ghostly book.

Blurb/Synopsis:A cold February morning ...a snowy road ...and suddenly all of Mia's choices are gone. Except one. As alone as she'll ever be, Mia must make the most difficult choice of all. Gripping, heartrending and ultimately life-affirming.
A family go out on a snowy day and end up in a accident, Mia (the main character) has a out of body experience as she sees the paramedics pulling her from the wreck, now all she has to do is choose live or die... This book was 250 pages long and I read very quickly as I is a quick read, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a deep and meaningful book with love and loss that pulls on the heart strings. You get to know each character individually one by one and really start to feel for each person. A very haunting but beautiful read that will leave you wanting more as the ending is a cliff hanger. This book is rumoured to become a film and if it does I will defiantly go see this. There a sequel to this book called Where She Went and is written from Mia's boyfriends's point of view, I plan on buying and reading this book in the near future. I would recommend you read these books as the series goes as reading where she went will ruin If I stay for you.  I highly recommend anyone from teens to adults to read this book and I think people will enjoy this book.
4 out of 5
Hope you enjoyed todays book reviews.

Lifeguard By James Patterson and Andrew Gross.

Hey,
Another week another book review. I am really getting into reading and blogging and i love my Wednesdays sat in front of computer writing them for you all.



Blurb/Synopsis: Working as a lifeguard at a luxurious Florida resort, Ned Kelly meets the woman of his dreams. It feels perfect in every way-except that she's used to caviar and Manolo Blahniks, and he's used to burgers and flip-flops. So when Ned's cousin offers to cut him in on a fast break-and-enter job, Ned can't turn it down. The risk is high, and the reward is even greater-$5 million. But the robbery goes devastatingly wrong. Forced to run away from his town and the woman he's fallen in love with, Ned knows that only distance and secrecy can save his life. But who is pursuing him? The FBI? Whoever sabotaged the heist? Or is it all somehow tied in to his new love-and his oldest enemies?
I really enjoyed this book infact I am already on the hunt for more of James Patterson books and I also really want to read this book again. This book was thrilling from page one It has many twist and turns and you really start to feel for the characters as each of them have their own big part in this book and you really get to know each individual character and start to feel for each and everyone of them. It is written in first person for the main character and when it about other characters point of view it is written in third which i found entertaining, it was like looking from the outside in. This book lets you get to guess who dunnit and you know who it is well before the end and also you have an epilogue telling you how their lives set out months down the line. It was a quick easy read 487 pages long, but book was small and font was medium. The ending was mind blowing as even I didn't see how it ends coming, but it's brilliant as it doesn't leave you on a cliff hanging for the finishing touches.
4.8 out of five, I would say 5 but i don't want to say it was perfection as other people will have their opinions too.
Have you read any or James Patterson's books and would like to recommend any to me to read?

The Further Adventures Of An Idiot Abroad By Karl Pilkington.

Hey guys,
Todays book review is also a TV series review too. I have waited for this book to come out in paperback for what felt like months as i love Karl Pilkington.
Blurb/Synopsis: The nation's idiot is back. Safely home from the final series of Anidiot Abroad, Karl has decided to share his hard-earned wisdom of the world. Using the bucket list of 100 things to do before you die, Karl combines brilliant stories from his 3 years of reluctant globe-trotting with entertaining opinions on what other people aspire to do with their lives. Such as... Run a Marathon. Have lunch with the Queen. Join the mile high club. Frank, funny and strangely inspiring, this is Karl's final word on travel.
I am a huge fan of the An Idiot Abroad series on telly and have all this three series on DVD. I have also purchased and read Karl's first series adventures book an Idiot abroad. Both books are written like a journal/diary and both and a brilliant funny read. I was in tears for laughing at Karl and his ways. Love how Karl moans about literally everything but most of the time what he is saying is true. Like how in both books it has pictures that go with Karls Journal and you can see in the pictures how much "fun" Karl is having. This is not a story as it has no real story line to it but it is a good quick read. I do hope he writes a book to go with his third series with his "little Friend" as i think it would keep you up to date with the series. 4.5 out of 5 on this book and i recommend everyone to either read the book or go watch the tv series right now as I think you are all missing out. Also i think i would like to read Karl's other books and i am looking forward to his new book coming out later this year(i will wait for it to come out in hardback) called A Moaning Life.
Hope you enjoyed this book/journal review.
