My Review
 
Crusher was a real stand out read for me last year and to be honest I thought it was going to be a stand alone....so I was more than thrilled that I would be getting more dishy Finn action *wink*
 
This is a fast and very lively read, actually I think it's a lot grittier that Crusher. There are so many big heart pounding shockers and in between each and every one I was sitting on the very edge of my seat! Leonard is a very cleaver writer, he knows when to push and when to pull back for the ultimate pacy and very racy effect! I love how down-to-earth, gritty, raw and utterly believable everything is!

Finn Maguire is a really likeable guy, he is raw as ropes but he always tries to do the right thing. In this instalment Finn's life seems to be getting back on track, he has started running his own gym and things seem to be going well. Everything takes a bumpy turn when he makes a promise to a loan shark, to get his business partner and friend out of trouble...but it's a promise he can't keep and things turn messy!

Finn then starts poking his nose into dangerous places and someone will stop at nothing to silence him....

The run up to the ending is nail bitingly brilliant and the ending itself blew me away - I really loved it!

Incinerator is yet again another stand out read from Niall Leonard, it's thrilling, chilling, edgy and has some very sexy little tidbits that I wasn't expecting. I really hope we get loads more adventures with Finn Maguire!

4.5 / 5 Stars!

Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge - Blog Tour!

Summary from Goodreads The first things to shift were the doll's eyes, the beautiful grey-green glass eyes. Slowly they swivelled, until their gaze was resting on Triss's face. Then the tiny mouth moved, opened to speak. 'What are you doing here?' It was uttered in tones of outrage and surprise, and in a voice as cold and musical as the clinking of cups. 'Who do you think you are? This is my family.' When Triss wakes up after an accident, she knows that something is very wrong. She is insatiably hungry; her sister seems scared of her and her parents whisper behind closed doors. She looks through her diary to try to remember, but the pages have been ripped out. Soon Triss discovers that what happened to her is more strange and terrible than she could ever have imagined, and that she is quite literally not herself. In a quest find the truth she must travel into the terrifying Underbelly of the city to meet a twisted architect who has dark designs on ...
