By Syou Ishida

Devil's Apple

By Simon Snow

5 stars

A great crime story set in the West Coast of NZ's South Island
Across the Dreaming Night

Hooked from the first sentence: "I was only nine years old when I knew I was destined to be a serial killer."

Fortune's Fool

My all time favourite, I've lost count of how many times I've read it. Adventure, magic, love, humour, it has everything I enjoy rolled into one.
The Fire Raiser

By Maurice Gee

4 stars

Someone is setting fires and four children know who it is, but need proof for the adults to believe them. Fast read, quite deep themes
Twilight Whispers

By Barbara Delinsky

3 stars

Slow start. This crime romance follows the lives of two rich and powerful families as they struggle with the deaths of two of their own. We don't find out until right near the end who killed them.
The Bookseller

By Tim Sullivan

5 stars

The seventh in a series. English crime mystery. I've read them all and really enjoy the stories, and following the main characters' lives.
Air

By John Boyne

3 stars

A man and his son fly half way around the world to attend a funeral they haven't been invited to. Personal problems are addressed and hope is on the horizon. Well written but not really my cup of tea.

The Best of James Herriot

By James Herriot

A collection of stories of an Engilsh country vet before WW2. Entertaining and well worth the third reading.
Mirror Image

By Danielle Steel

2 stars

Set just before the 1st World War, a set of identical twins, rich and entitled, deceive everyone in the worst way possible. I did not like the characters at all.
The 5 Love Languages

5 stars

I'd heard about love languages but never read the book. Very easy to read, interesting and good to get all the background stories.
Cry of the Taniwha

By Des Hunt

5 stars

A young teenager goes to Rotorua to stay with his Nana. With his metal detector he finds a handcuffed skeleton and the treasures he was hiding. Lots of twists. A fun story

#2 in the Coulter Shaw series. He looks for missing people, and collects the reward money for a living. In this book he brings down the leaders of a cult, using his survival skills to save lives.
Take a Hike

By Katie Ruggle

2 stars

This is the third book in the series. The main character finds her man, but the story was more silly than funny.
