#BlogTour: The Journey Back by Conrad Jones @ConradJones @RedDragonbooks @ZooloosBT #TheJourneyBack #ConradJones #ZoolooBlogTours

Book Synopsis:

The Journey Back is the blistering sequel to The Journey. Kalu is a doctor, who escaped an extremist revolution in Nigeria. He tried to get his family across the Sahara to look for passage to the safety of Europe but they were duped by ruthless people traffickers and his wife and two daughters were lost at sea. Fast forward twenty-years and his daughter, Kissie is in Ukraine when Russian tanks cross the border and his family are in terrible danger again. 

My Review:

I absolutely loved The Journey so was excited to read it’s sequel The Journey Back. Once again the author has written an interesting, thought provoking book that I couldn’t put down.

It was great to be back with the family and to see how they were getting on. This book gives the reader more of an insight into each of the characters which I really liked as it meant I got to know them better. I loved the way the author writes the story so that the reader gets to experience everything that is happening alongside the characters.

This book wasn’t quite as graphic as the first book, which isn’t a bad thing as some parts of the first book were hard to read at times. It was just as absorbing though and I soon found myself drawn into the story and unable to put the book down. I kept promising myself I’d read just one more chapter and then end up reading way to late. There are some great unexpected twists in the story which I thought was cleverly done and meant I couldn’t guess the ending to the story which I always enjoy. I’m hoping from the ending that there is another book in the works soon!

Huge thanks to Zoë from Zooloo blog tours for inviting me onto the blog tour and to the publishers for my copy of this book.

About The Author:

Conrad Jones spent 12 years working for the biggest quick service restaurant brand in the world.
On March 20th 1993 the IRA terrorist organization bombed the shopping center outside the restaurant he was managing that day. The experience fueled an interest in the root causes of extremist terrorists and the reasoning why its perpetrators feel justified in taking innocent lives. That incident sparked the story of ‘Soft Target’.
