Having a manlet that loved gaming cards, I could relate to the idea behind this one all too well! I really enjoyed this one & would have loved seeing it in an episode.

Easy read, lots went on so it felt a bit chaotic most of the time.

Poor Jack; quite a lot of deaths for one book. As usual, Anghelides served up a wonderful narrative that but for the assumed cost of CGI would have made a wonderfully engaging episode. While Owen seemed to be a bit on the back burner, everyone else was in top form and it was nice to have Tosh out of the Hub more. The only question I have is if they ever managed to reserve the invisible half of the dead man and did they eventually feed Ianto; poor thing.

It was so hard not to read this one in one sitting! The best TW book I've read so far, the plot of Pack Animals is fast-paced and exciting, featuring fun moments from every member. Plus, great Janto content!

Okay, this Torchwood book is a testament to "Don't Judge a Book by It's Cover". Which, by the way, has Gwen walking on broken pavement, a tiger by her side, carrying MonstaQuest cards that seem to have Tosh on one of them.

The basic premise is simple enough. There are monsters out there that frighten the Weevils, ones that seem to travel through telephones and CCTV feeds. It is up to Torchwood to find out what is going on and stop it, but this time there is another group of alien hunters who have the same goal

This is my favorite book to date. Why, you ask? First is because we have a real Jack/Ianto relationship, one that involves actual kissing. And then there is naked!Ianto, always a plus in my mind. Seriously, the story is well-written, isn't Gwen-centric, but has a great Gwen/Rhys dynamic going on.
