Review: Guilty

Guilty by Sea Caummisar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is the third book in the Verdict series and last book in the trilogy.

Warning. This book is full of blood and gore and should not be read by the faint hearted I should really take my own advice but I just can't stop reading Seas work.

Anyway on with the review, Sly's world is collapsing around him he's broken his own rules, his best friend is about to the discover the truth about him and top it all off his dead girlfriend won't leave him alone in his dreams. To find what his next move is I highly recommend you read this book.

Well done to Sea Caummisar on other excellent horror series can't wait to read more of your work

Review: Unhinged

Unhinged by Sea Caummisar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

After reading the first book in the series,while sitting in an opticians waiting room and pulling some distinctly peculiar faces I decided this time it be would be best to read in the comfort of my own home.

And boy was I right. I thought after the first book Sly couldn't become any sicker or any more twisted than he already was but was I wrong. I'm not going to say why because this would spoil it for these who our planning on reading it. But what I will tell you is it stomach curling,gruesome no way recommended for the faint-hearted but definitely recommended for those who love extreme horror. And yes I was definitely pulling funny faces again whilst trying to read between my fingers

With all its nasty gruesomeness Sea Caummisar has produced an excellent story for the horror reading fan.

Review: Judge Jury Torturer

Judge Jury Torturer by Sea Caummisar
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Looking for something a bit grizzly to read look no further then the books of 'Sea Caummisar'.

I'm having finished the Easy Money (Deadly Reality TV) series I have moved on to her next extremehs horror series (Verdict Realty #1: Judge. Jury Torturer) This time we meet Sly Verdict as cool as a cucumber, a successful realtor and guy with a deadly hobby which has a very specific number of rules that must be obeyed.

I can confirm these books are not for the faint heart and definitely not to be read in the reception area of the opticians where I started pulling rather funny faces.

Review: A Parliament of Crows

A Parliament of Crows by Alan M. Clark
My rating: 5 of 5 stars


The story virtually starts at the end with the three Mortlow sisters being held for murder. The story then shifts back and forth between their childhood during the Civil War and their adulthood in the early 20th century till their eventual arrest.

You learn early in the story that Mortlow sisters are far from innocent the twins Carolee and Mary are extremely cruel and twisted and take delight in causing pain to others.Vertiline the eldest is hard women who will and does anything to protect and keep her family together. But that does not extend to protecting her nieces and nephews.Even though you know the sisters are evil in every aspect of word, the author has written the book in such a way you feel sympathy for the sisters but I can't explain where the sympathy comes from. I don't actually think they do anything to provoke sympathy from the reader apart from the hardships they faced in the Civil War but there experiences were no different from anybody else in the south at the time. All their actions are basically
cold and calculated.

I really enjoyed reading this book and find it hard to put down well done to Alan Clark for another marvelous book based around a true life crimes.

Review: Britain's Unsolved Murders

Britain's Unsolved Murders by Kevin Turton
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thank you to Pen & Sword and NetGalley for the opportunity to read an advanced copy (ARC) of Britain’s Unsolved Murders by Kevin Turton via NetGalley. In exchange for a fair and honest review.

A interesting read about 13 unsolved murders between 1857-1957 in Great Britain.I had already read about a few of cases mentioned in the book but still the book held my interest.

Two cases I found most intriguing were the murders of George and Lillian Peach in 1952 a case I had never come across before and the murder of Evelyn Foster in 1931. Overall the book is very informativy and gives the reader all details he or she needs to know the circumstances surrounding each of the crimes and always useful but not always include the author gives information regarding the people involved in each case (some cases books briefly outline the case then move on to the next).

Definitely recommended to true crime readers.

Review: The Peasants' Revolting Crimes

The Peasants' Revolting Crimes by Terry Deary
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Thanks to Netgalley and Pen & Sword History for the opportunity to read this book.

Most will recognise the name of this author as the writter of the Horrible Histories books, in this book he turns to writing for the more mature audience.
Which he accomplishes with great success thought out the book you. As with the Horrible Histories books you feel his sense of humour is very much part of the book.

The stories included ones about murder,robbery and unusual tales of selling one's spouses and impersonating a Egyptian.

As with the Horrible Histories the book is interesting, informative and fun to read and I really enjoyed this book.

I would definitely recommend this book too people who enjoy reading history,with a large dose of humour added it is also great for those who find history books boring.
