My Review:
Double Or Nothing is a fun, action packed book that is a good addition to the James Bond Series.
Firstly although this is a James Bond book it is very different in places to the original series. In this book we don’t actually meet James Bond but instead get to know the other 00’s in the service who are a much more diverse mix then those normally featured. The action also doesn’t start straight away as in does in previous books. Instead we get to know the characters more first and experience some of their interactions with each other which I found very interesting. It made me understand the characters more and made them feel a bit more real.
As you can probably expect from a Bond book there was lots of action, adventure and some chases which made for a very exciting read. I liked how the author includes some stuff from the original series, including some of the characters which I really enjoyed. The pace of the book slowly increased as the story develops and this along with the many twists helped keep me thoroughly gripped. I liked the way the book ended and hope it means that there are more Bond books coming soon.
Huge thanks to Anne Cater for inviting me onto the blog tour and to Harper Collins for my copy of this book.
