One bullet. One life. The end starts here

This book is not for anyone who hasn't read the last eight books in the series! I was sad that this was the last book in this great series.  It was interesting to read through the first 6 chapters of the book from the point of scorpia - the corparation which alex has dealt with twice already.  As the book progresses you change into the second part of the book where alex has found himself yet again: in front of alan blunt, the head of mi6. he godes alex into doing a 'surveliance' mission where he tells alex he is safer off. this comes to happen as an assasin atempts to kill alex in his classroom threating the safety of everyone around him including his carer jack starbright after all the scorpia motto is: Scorpia never forgives; Scorpia never forgets.

Scorpia vow to kill alex after he riuned two of their previous assignments. after a dissapointing year and the reputation of scorpia going down the drain they cannot afford to fail.

a fast action thriller with a well thought out plot  10/10

'Forsaken : The Demon Trapper By Jane Oliver

The first of what it seems is a great new series by an author i havent  heard of before.

It i set iinto the near futre of 2018 and Riley Blackthorne  gives up school to become a female apprentice demon trapper in the city of Atlanta. Paul her father is a master trapper and was once a history teacher, they both struggle to get all the money they can to pay off the medical bills of Riley's late mother.  She decides to take the demon trapping one step further and try and reach the role of journeyman with the help of her new master Harper.

With the help of friends akong the way: Ori the mysterious stranger who caims to have known her father and keeps turning up to save her life, Beck the backwoods boy with an attidue and makes it his personal goal to smack every demon he sees with his steel pipe and simon the holy crusader who has heaven on his side.

Along her many encounters she finds a simalarity between all the demons and finds it vvery uncomfortable, she also finds something very wrong with their main weapon againts the hellspwan, the rest of the guild find out very late on and learn the hard way.

I found the language quite profound and it uses great words and the correct names for people such as necromancers and hellspawn.
The book explores the difficulties of a young trapper who is a girl in a mans world. She go's through a lot in a short space of time and learns new things along the way. she feels different emotions and bears a large burden on her shoulders.
The author sucks the reader into the book and at times i had read a hundred pages at a time.

Overall a great first book in the series and i hope the best is still to come. 9/10

'The Dead' by Charlie Higson

The sequel to the enemy which followed the holloway crew was put on hold as this thrilling story followed the lives of best friends : Ed and Jack.  It takes place in various places throughout London as they have to keep on the move and be aware of their surroundings constanly.
In this brilliant sequel not only is their enemy the blood thirsty 'Strangers/adults/Sickos' but also the massive shortage of food.
They learn to fight out of skill and mainly just pure wits.

They meet many people friend and foe along their epic journey.

A good read overall it sucks you into the book and i am witing for the next book in Autumn 2011
