I received a copy of Bang Bang by JM Remmer in exchange for an honest review.
Bang Bang by JM Remmer follows Frances Flight, an eager and fun country girl in 2001. Early on, she bags a job at the coveted Shooting Weekly and throws herself into the life of a working London journalist and digs deep into her stories that pertain to life in a world of hunting. Along the way, she lands into the arms of Henry Black, the Editor at her magazine. All things go swimmingly for a while until her new world collides with her cousin, who is a serious animal rights activist. Their chance encounter puts her job, her love life and her own life in danger. But, together with the crew from Shooting Weekly, they fight to stay afloat. But, will that be enough?
This story is a fun ride through the British countryside and the realm of hunting and really brings forth the crazy world that all of that entails. The book is fast paced and full of a wide variety of aspects that are very appealing to most readers, with an interesting twist that brings hunting front and center. As an avid vegetarian and animal lover, some parts of this book were hard to swallow but I was able to move past it and focus on the actual story. The character development was fantastic and I absolutely loved the odd and eccentric cast of friends from the magazine. Oh, and if you are a fan of sex scenes, the author does a really good job at writing those as well. Overall, a fun read with LOTS of twists and turns throughout.
[Rating: 4/5]
