Crazy suspenseful and harrowing thriller. I did not realize it was tje last book in a trilogy. I now need to read the other two!

This is the third and final instalment in the Pendulum series and what a series it has been! Half of my was wanting to race through the pages to find out what happens next and the other half wanted to take my time and savour each page knowing that once I reached the end that was it, the last pages ever in this high stakes, fast burning action packed trilogy.

I must say though that you really do have read the previous books in order before this one otherwise you will not fully grasp the significance of the storylines and get the full pure enjoyment out of the characters, their personal storylines as well as plots.

This one starts with a bang and doesn’t let up right up until the end and the conclusion was spot on, it’s just sad to say goodbye to these memorable characters.

If you haven’t read them then I can’t recommend them enough, it will now be interesting to see what Adam Hamdy has in store for us next.

A big thank you to the author Adam Hamdy, publishers Headline and NetGalley for my copy of this book in exchange for and honest and independent review.

Conclusion of the cinematic Pendulum trilogy. Wallace, Ash and Bailey are back with a bang in this all non-stop action thriller. Each battling their own demons as they attempt to bring down the elusive Foundation once and for all. An exciting and entertaining 5-star read.

Gripping, tense and exhilarating a perfect adrenaline fuelled read. A fitting end to this series of books in my view.

Aftershock, the third and final instalment in the superb Pendulum series, begins in an explosive manner as we follow the characters in their attempts to deal with the fallout from the previous novels. It is imperative to have read the preceding books before this one otherwise you will not have much of an idea about what is happening. Not only do we have the overarching plot, but we follow each character in their personal battles which makes for emotive reading, and I found myself rooting for each of them to grow and learn. The pace is wonderfully unrelenting, and Hamdy packs the story with nonstop action. The author is adept at ratcheting up the tension as the book progresses and many heart-in-your-mouth moments creep up on you leaving you in shock.

This is more than merely an entertaining and easy read as the author adds depth to the novel by including thought-provoking material on the law. He discusses the blurring of the lines in relation to how laws are made and subsequently broken, as well as who gets punished when it is clear that a line has indeed been crossed. The conclusion was also a fitting relevant way to top off a series that has been one of my favourites, and I cant wait to see what Hamdy publishes in the future. I will genuinely miss Wallace, Ash and Bailey and the adrenaline-pumping action and smart thrills this series has in spades! If you enjoy your thrillers with added emotion, plenty of shocking moments, a clever plot and superb characterisation then this series is well worth your time.

Many thanks to Headline for an ARC.

I've just read the whole trilogy back to back which was a real treat. As usual with action thrillers suspend reality and strap in for the ride and this one is certainly a rollercoaster ride. Be prepared to lose characters that you love as well as to experience multiple adrenaline rushes.
