An excellent follow up to Night Walking and more of the same, which is not a bad thing.
Wonderful adventures in the dark and including different locations like the Lake District, coastal Wales and along the Thames.
It does inspire one to want to go for night walks and see a different side to British nature we miss out on because the wonders come alive when we are tucked up in bed, and there is more to nocturnal wildlife than owls and badgers.
A return to the Gun Honey universe. I quite enjoyed this series when I discovered it earlier in the year. Both the main titular series and the Heatseeker spin off. This next installment is a part of the Heatseeker line of the series with the new branch called Exposed.
This installment follows the exposure of Dahlia Rivers by a journalist who outs her and an ex-client who is out to silence her once and for all. A typical pulpy read with sun, sex and violence. Great plotting and characters and action. One of the better comic book pulps out there.
I was browsing on Amazon and having read some One Punch Man samples this manga was recommended to me. I have always thought it too odd or pervy for me to read so never bothered trying or paying attention beyond glancing at the cover. I am between books and decided to try it.
Yes there is gratuitious manga boobs and lots of flesh but in terms of plot and characters its pretty fun and humourous. Quite enjoyed the plot where a guy ends up having a species exhange with a snake-woman and then a bird woman and finally a centaur type woman. All seem to be like bitches in heat and hijinks ensues. Its a light and breezy read and good fun. I have read the first two in the series and maybe I’ll check out the rest.
EDIT 12/11/25
I have since read Volumes 3 to 6 and have really enjoyed them. Not my usual tastes but very funny reads.
A short novel in which a woman is accused of her husbands murder. The woman has prior convictions and the court of public opinion against her, presuming her guilt based on circumstantial evidence.
A journalist who stirred the fires is worried that a competent lawyer may get her acquitted and that he may reap what he sowed in her revenge due to her reputation and ties with the Yakuza..
I enjoyed it and the conclusion when it came was surprising and sudden and I would have liked more.
I really have had good experiences when I have read the novels of Seichō Matsumoto.
