Vegas, Lies and Murder is the fifth book in the Amber Fox series. This time Amber and her fiance Brad are off to Las Vegas to get married. Amber's parents are joining them, along with her sister and Amber and Brad's friends and co-workers Hacker and Tia.
Obviously, being the chaos magnet that she is, Amber's holiday starts off bad and just gets worse. Instead of getting married, they find themselves mixed up in a potential murder and having to go under cover in a gentleman's club.
I like this series of books. Amber is a great character, although sometimes I get worn out with the trouble she seems to always get into. I like how her relationships mature with each book.
This is a quick and easy and fast paced read and I thoroughly enjoyed it as expected.

Sleep Tight is the 3rd in the DCI Tom Douglas series, however Tom's life plays a secondary part in this and it's not important that you need to have read the others.
Olivia's gone missing, but does her husband know more than he's telling?
This story weaves from suggesting one thing to another and makes you believe one thing, then twists it to the opposite. I was totally gripped.

I like a bit of silly and this was certainly a bit of silly.
An inexperienced wizard is employed to cast a spell to help the fishermen catch lots of fish, instead the spell wakes up a nasty demon who has been trapped for a very long time under the sea. The demon's form is a massive slug that eliminates anything it slimes over.
With the freedom fighter rabbits, the wizard and his dwarf friend banished from Camelot and the inhabitants of Redbrush Hall, this is a great cast of characters. The nasty shape-shifting slugs need to be beaten, but none of the heroes are aware that there is any enemy.
My favourite characters were the rabbits and I loved their "rebel names". And this book has my favourite line ever in it. If you've read it, it's the "sym" bit.
So yes, this book is silly and a bit childish at times, but I found it wonderfully fun to read. I came across it by accident, I think the cover is a bit rubbish, but I totally recommend giving it a go and I'm going to read the next ones.
