Jasper’s Brood by J K Nottingham

Writer's picture: Gibbo thegreatGibbo thegreat


I'm certain that this first book marks the start of a captivating and brilliant new series. The blurb piqued my interest right away, as its premise stood out from anything I had read previously. I liked the concept of Jasper being morally ambiguous because of his upbringing.


Composed as a letter journal to one of his lost brothers, "Gulliver," and told from his viewpoint. He talks about how his own parents were murdered and how he ended up working as a hired hitman's "apprentice" himself. Jasper has only ever known the life he has been forced to live, and despite his career of murder, he genuinely cares about and empathises with his group of rescued youngsters.


This book caters to a wide range of readers, particularly those who enjoy crime novels and have a fascination with psychology. Some readers may be upset by a couple of scenes that are quite graphic. Despite its rarity, the writing style is unique and easy to read with addictive and concise chapters.


Overall, I really enjoyed it and looking forward to his next read. Mr Nottingham, I have you in my "Authors to watch" list.
