Rather interestingly this doesn’t have the cosy ending one gets with most teenage novels. In fact it leaves you hanging for the next in the series.
A young girl discovers special powers and finds she is the result of an experiment of a genetic trial trying to create the perfect human.
Enter the mad scientist… her father, but is he a good guy or a baddy?
The next book will be out soon, will I read it?

I gave up on this one after finishing part one of three.
He is a well respected historian and this the first step into fiction, historical fiction.
The beginning of the Russian revolution a for me a bit to cosy a novel for something that would be a lot darker and dangerous than comes across.

When Jack dies our protagonist is asked to write his biography.
He is an old and long time friend going back to school days. Then they were chalk and cheese. Jack goes on to become famous as a chat show host, while David the academic wastes his life in a dead end job.
Funny and absorbing in a Jewish angst sort of way. I’ll read more of this author for sure.

This novel hits the spot. My sort of book.
A grand but fading house somewhere in Dorset is the setting for this eerie story. A family who have everything breaks down and falls apart.
Told throughout by the very odd elder sister. Slightly disappointing ending but very well rated debut novel.
