Bodyguard 2: Ransom
Name: Melanie Chadwick
27 May 2014;Genre: Adventure
An action-packed thriller with wide appeal; it's got the guns and knives, the explosions, the near misses and the suspense, but it also has strong characters both male and female. This is the second book in the Bodyguard series, but it works well as a stand-alone novel. Connor Reeves is our all-a...

It is now a hundred years since World War 1 broke out, and this is the turbulent backdrop against which Bernard Ashley's latest novel takes place.

Full of action, both on and off the pitch, this book is bang on target. Charlie Merrick's bunch of misfit friends love football, but they're just not very good at it. Their team, North Star Galaxy, are desperately fighting the battle against relegation in the under 12s league. Their chances do...

Evie Brooks is Marooned in Manhattan
Name: Melanie Chadwick
29 April 2014;Genre: Adventure
I liked the way the book hooks you in by starting with an action-packed scene from near the end of the book where Evie is stuck in a rubbish shoot trying to escape security guards. The rest of the book builds up to that moment and explains why she gets into such a predicament. Evie's mum has di...
