Orphan X by Gregg Hurwitz
3.0
This was a good book, had exciting twists and I loved the characters. I could imagine a really exciting action film made from this book. The reason it gets 3 stars is just because the book itself is not for me, for some reason I didn't connect with it but that's not the authors fault, it was very well written and I think a lot of people would enjoy this read.
Hush Little Baby by Joanna Barnard
1.0
I could have easily put down this book for good before I even got half way but I'm obsessive and have a need to finish books that I've started, especially books I've been given to review from Netgalley.
Hush Little Baby is based on a family of four, the mother, the father, Oliver their newborn baby and Martha, Oliver's big sister. One night Oliver will not stop crying and seems to be very stressed, in the middle of the night he gets taken to hospital only to find he's gotten a fracture that could not have been caused by any other than force from another person.
Social services get involved and question each member of the family and do what they can to find out the truth.
A lot of the plot is how the family are reacting and their relationships with one another, there's not a lot of suspicions, just a lot of family drama, arguments etc.
The reader finally finds out who was the one to cause baby Oliver harm in the last pages.
I just wish I read the first chapter or two to get the gist then went to the last couple of pages because that's enough to grasp the whole story.
Thank you Netgalley for sending me a copy of the book in return for an honest review.

The Walking Dead, Vol. 2: Miles Behind Us by Robert Kirkman
4.0
I love these comic books but they're so different from the TV series and sooo fast paced, I got lost a couple of times because you'll turn a page and weeks would have gone by. Still a really fun, entertaining read.
Come As You Are by Steven Ramirez
4.0
I didn't realise this was a book of short stories until I began to read it. The first story was good, has a supernatural feeling to it and the rest of the stories all had elements of spookiness, gore and horror that gripped me, but that last story.. Walker, that was epic. I'd love for that to have been a full novel.
