Reviews

A corking addition to the Vampire Beach series

—— Birmingham Post

Delightfully nasty, bonkers piratical fun. I laughed out loud on the Tube!'

—— Robin Stevens, bestselling author of Murder Most Unladylike

Think The Mighty Boosh for 8-year-olds with a dash of Lemony Snicket thrown in. Although Mabbitt has a voice all of his own.

—— The Times

Anarchic, adventurous and extremely funny, this is a fantastic debut at the younger end of middle-grade.

—— The Bookseller

Comedy, dash and imagination refresh a rebooted British hero.

—— Amanda Craig , New Statesman

Packed with blackmail, murder and revenge, Shoot to Kill is Young Bond at his best.

—— Sunday Express

Cole, Steve Cole, has picked up the bond baton from Charlie Higson with this his first book in the Young Bond sereis. It's set in mafia-soaked, golden-era Hollywood, giving this proto-007 plenty of scope for adventure. It's a cracking read with fantasic fight scenes, glam parties and some pretty decent plotting

—— The Times

Nail-biting excitement

—— Primary Times
