July Book Reviews Part 2

Happy Weekend!
How is July almost over?? This summer is flying by and on that subject, I popped into a shop today and was shocked to see the Halloween candy out! OMG! (Insert pumpkin here, lol) As crazy as that was I did manage to only buy one Halloween themed thing....
​But before we go there...lets talk about summer reads. I stumbled upon this book:

This book is a political action thriller, written by Jack Carr.  It's not my typical read, but I think stepping out of your comfort zone and reading other genres is necessary. (After all we can only read so many vampire novels before growing bored, lol!) This is book four in this series and Amazon is developing it into a series starring Chris Pratt. So I did come in late to this party, but....

The Devil's Hand: A Thriller (Terminal List Book 4)

• Was it a pageturner? Yes
• Do I like this genre?  Yes and No -- Yes - Action/Thriller/ Espionage NO-Terrorism/Political 
• How's the storytelling?  Good
• Was it well written? It's fine
• Would you recommend this book? No
• Page Count:  516 pages ​
• Published:  April 2021

Set in modern day, with tech (I liked) politics (I didn't) this isn't my favorite genre. I do read some spy novels but this feels way too political for my taste. Covid, wine snobs, the author's extremely thinly-veiled political points and other themes I don't want in a book I read for pure escapism. I think for some people this will be a MUST read for the summer, but not for me.

Stay tuned for more reviews!
