It's been a while since I have updated but here goes:

First up was Dark End of the Spectrum by Athony S. Policastro, this one started out good and really piqued my interest with a fairly original idea for a Thriller. However, the further I got into it the more confusing the writing and dialogue became. The story was decent but it needed some serious editing to be more enjoyable.

Next up was Urge to Kill by John Lutz. A crime thriller type novel. I really enjoyed this one. Kept me guessing until near the end. Freebie from Sony too. Recommended.

Next up was How to Disappear Completely by David Bowick. This was a freebie from FeedBooks and a short story. It was humorous and while I enjoyed it there didn't seem to be much point to the story. A decent time killer.

Next up was Geek Mafia: Black Hat Blues by Rick Dakan. I had previously read the first two in this series and really enjoyed them. The original Geek Mafia was actually the very first book I read on my PRS-500. Although the first two books were freebies from FeedBooks this one was not but after thoroughly enjoying the first two I picked this one up. It is a hacker heist thriller as were the first two. The main characters returned for the third incarnation while adding a few new faces. Excellent reads all 3.

Most recently was Prestwick by David Hough which was kindly sent to me by forum member neilmarr. This was a pretty much non stop action fest. Really enjoyed this one so thanks go out to you neil. Check it out if you want something fast paced and action packed.

Currently I am about 1/3 of the way through The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Really enjoying this one and will probably read the rest of the trilogy and may check out the movies too.

Hopefully when I finish work for the xmas break I will get some more reading in. :-)
