Young Bond: Blood Fever by Charlie Higson

Synopsis -

An Eton boy's family disappear at sea. James uncovers a shadowy society operating in a hidden corner of the school. And far from England, in the bandit-infested interior of Sardina, a sinster Italian count has built himself a mountain fortress. Is there a connection?

Review - 

Blood Fever is the second book of the Young Bond series and is my favourite one! Count Ugo Carnifex, is a true Bond villain with an elaborate lair and scheme reflecting every inch of his megalomania. There are flashes of the 007 agent in James as he coolly defies the Count, finds allies that are bandits, and gets an adrenaline buzz by diving off high cliffs and driving fast cars. But the best part of the book is the whole scene with James being tortured with the deadliest animal in the world: mosquitoes.

Verdict - 5 out of 5.

Nemesis: Sinster Intent by Catherine MacPhail

Synopsis -

Strange lights in the night sky, people disappearing, a mysterious man calling him Destiny - Ram has run straight into another mystery. But the people who go missing are people no one will miss, except Ram and the dotty old woman who rescues him...

And the Dark Man finds Ram again - but how? Just when Ram thinks it is safe to run he discovers another terrifying truth. Something that means he will never be safe again. Not him. Not anyone.

Review -

This book is the third in the series. In the book you get a lot more hints about Ram's past and what he is searching for but my favourite character in the story was Catman - brilliant! Its fast paced, adventurous and still keeps you guessing!

Verdict - 4 out of 5.

Nemesis: Into the Shadows by Catherine MacPhail

Synopsis -

Ram has no memory of who he is. He wakes up in a darkened corridor of a tower block with no idea of how he had got there. And then the lift doors nearby open and inside is a man, lying in a pool of blood, desperately trying to tell him something...

Ram is now the murder suspect and on the run. But it isn't just the police he has to worry about. Something is moving in the shadows. Could it be connected with the dying man's last words? Or is he past catching up with him?

Review -

This book was recommended by a friend and it's really good! The book is fast paced and there are loads of twists that keep you guessing what is actually happening! Ram is so confused about who he is that you feel sorry for him. The other characters in the book are strong and believable. I'm going to keep reading the series.

Verdict - 4 out of 5
