BOOK REVIEW – Mr Monster by Dan Wells

By Marty Mulrooney

MrMonsterCover

Earlier this year I reviewed the amazing debut novel I Am Not A Serial Killer by Dan Wells. Aimed at young adults, it genuinely surprised me how gripping the book proved to be for an older reader such as myself, written as it was from the perspective of a 15 year old sociopathic serial killer hunter. It is one of the best books I have read in a long time, so if you haven’t purchased it already, I recommend you stop reading this review and do so. Because the sequel, Mr Monster, is even better. You won’t want to miss this!

BOOK REVIEW – Ember Fury by Cathy Brett

By Marty Mulrooney

EmberFury

Ember Fury by Cathy Brett is a book I began to read with some trepidation. Not for fear of the quality held in-between its covers might I add. Oh no, a quick glance inside shows a plethora of wonderful illustrations that is guaranteed to suck you right in from the get go regardless of the quality of the actual writing. Rather, the titular protagonist being a teenage girl had me worried that I wouldn’t be the intended target audience at all.
