You may recall my earlier review of “No Time For Goodbye” in which I said I was looking forward to the follow up book, well, here it is. And what a cracking read this one is; a fantastic tale which I devoured within a few days spent on sun kissed beaches. This book picks up…
“Broken Monsters” by Lauren Beukes
I thoroughly enjoyed “The Shining Girls”, the previous novel by Lauren Beukes, and was keen to read her new one as soon as possible. It was a breathtaking read and very satisfying. However, for me, “The Shining Girls” is the shining light from Beukes thus far. Follow Lauren Beukes on Twitter. International covers.

As the film stars my favourite actress Nicole Kidman (interestingly, Kidman…
