Review: Bride of the Tornado by James Kennedy

August 20, 2023 by Paige Leave a Comment

The cover of Bride of the Tornado by James Kennedy

There’s something about spec-fic that I love, and Bride of the Tornado kept me enthralled right until the end. I couldn’t give you a blow-by-blow of the plot, but what I can tell you is that there are some utterly bonkers & epic moments that I’ll remember for a long time.

Review: Dare to Know by James Kennedy

September 1, 2021 by Paige 1 Comment

The cover for Dare to Know by James Kennedy. It has an hourglass in the centre with yellow lines radiating from it.

James Kennedy has crafted a premise and a novel that starts in one place, and ends up somewhere completely and utterly different. It only takes 300 pages but it works perfectly and at no point does it feel rushed, or like anything is missing. We follow our narrator in across almost his entire life. Intertwined with the present day parts are bits and pieces from his past. It ranges from Physics camp with his new best friend, days out with his ex-girlfriend and affairs while he travels. Every moment is important, every moment somehow leads into that ending. You get something entirely different to what the blurb promises, but in the best possible way.
