Girl Under the Gun

I absolutely hated how this book began. In fact, I nearly put it down before finishing the first page. My mind was positively boggled by the fact that a writer would choose to begin a story with a list of tedious, mundane, and entirely innocuous activities for his heroine. And after I bitched at him for driving me to such distraction on wattpad, I went on to rail nearly as badly against chapter two for a heroine whose reactions were as curious as they were implausible. And I made sure to throw i [...]

Wild fun ride!Thriller is the description, and yes, that's what this is. However this is not your average thriller. When you go to the funfair you can do that in two ways. The first way is to go as a child, and find everything new and exciting and wonderful. The other way is to be the cynical, world-weary adult companion. The child experiences the ride of horrors with delicious terror, while the adult eyes the glowing skeleton and thinks that the movement is a bit creaky, and wonders when they l [...]

LJ is up in the early hours ploughing through university work with an imminent deadline. She's not too worried; this is her style to leave things until the last minute. However, everything in her life is about to change that evening and in the biggest possible way. What follows on from this rather ordinary start is a plot loaded with implausibility. A knock on her window introduces Grant, an ex special forces 'spy' who has come to save LJ from an assassin. There is an encounter with a pizza deli [...]

This story marks the first in a series of adventures for naive young undergraduate, Lucy Jane Hardwick (LJ). It also seems to mark something of a departure for the author, Rob May, who has so far focussed his attention on science fiction and fantasy.It's a book which really slams its reader ─ and of course its heroine ─ into the deep end with a vengeance. LJ finds herself whisked away from the trappings of everyday student life ─ pizza and procrastination ─ and into a world of danger, ad [...]

Part Three of 'Girl under the Gun' by Rob May sees L.J. and Grant leave New York and head for safety in a deviously acquired Ford Mustang. What follows is more great action, involving car chases, treasure hunts and slow burning romance. Lots of dark humour, Bond style repartee and the cliff hanger at the end was pure brilliance. Can't wait for the next part!

LJ and Grant arrrive in New York just in time to hear her father's will read. What follows is a wild, high octane adventure set in New York, fighting off potential terrorists on the way, encountering long lost family members and code cracking as they go. And on top of that, there's the whole smouldering chemistry of will they, won't they to enjoy. Strongly recommended.
