No, not those ones yet - do I need to even ask if they're any good? :p I fear they may have an even longer waiting time at Christchurch library...but will certainly give them a go. I really enjoyed those 3 books but [spoiler]the idea of Jace's grandma torturing him keeps coming back to me. That, and all the implied incest ![/spoiler]

What are you reading and recommending these days (apart from TMI) ? :P

With Halloween just around the corner, it's probably quite appropriate that I've been on a bit of a zombie book binge!

Here's my review of 'Demise of the Living' by Iain McKinnon.

... and here's what I thought of 'Dead City' by a serving San Antonio police officer, Joe McKinney.
