Night Runner (Night Runner #1)
I personally love Max Turner's writing style and thought the book was overall very good. The plot was interesting(but could get a little dry at times) and i loved how he started Zach out in a mental institute! At first i had my doubts about this, hoping it wouldnt turn into ANOTHER shutter island(because lets face it, one unknowingly insane person can last a life time), but i am very glad to say that i was wrong. I loved how the author let family and loved ones betray each other unlike most
Night Runner by Max Turner held a lot of punch. The entire story is one crazy ride in the newly exciting life of Zack Thomson. For the past eight years he had been living basically in isolation inside a mental ward. He has a plethora of allergies - including an extreme reaction to the sun. Therefore, he sleeps all day and lives at night. He also cannot stomach food, he has to drink special concoctions, which he dubs "brain cocktails". The only two friends he has are Charlie and Nurse Ophelia.
Ok, so writing a review without giving away the main crux of the story is going to be tricky, but lets see how this goes...For a teenager horror story, this one is easy to get into. A simple plot, even the most reluctant or struggling reader would catch on to the protagonists dilemma. Zack, living in a Mental Institution (seriously, Im not joking) has the weirdest of lives but tragically accepts it all as normality. It didnt take long for me to realise what was going on, before the Big Reveal
Max Turner has created a wonderful and exciting novel. Involving Vampires and other Creators, but created differently. Not like Twilight or any other Vampire book, Turner has made it a twist in the story, which makes so much more than just a story. Five stars and two thumbs up!!Zack isnt an ordinary teenage boy. He has a weird allergy against the sun and had to be medicated since he was seven years old. His father died that day, and his mom died when he was two years old. Living at a mental
This is yet another 'V' book. Yup. Max Turner does make it a bit different from the other YA 'V' books in the market. For one, Zack doesn't know what he really is; he believes that he is just sick. Two, Zack's condition is a virus, a sickness. There's nothing magical about it; it's just scientific.Those two things made the book stand out a bit.Zack was a very good character but he was a bit too naive. He had a hard time putting things together.He was two-dimensional at times which was not good

For Zack Thomson, life in the Nicholls Ward wasn't so bad. After his parents died, he developed strange allergies, and the mental institution was the only place where he could be properly looked after. As strange as it was, it was home.

This was a super fast, light and easy read. I didn't love it, but I also didn't hate it. It did exactly what a decent book should do, provided a good distraction from my real life stress. I wish there would have been more focus on Zack's life in the mental institution because I thought that was an interesting angle, but all in all it was still pretty good. I recommend it to anyone looking for a fast paced, light weight supernatural story.I personally love Max Turner's writing style and thought the book was overall very good. The plot was interesting(but could get a little dry at times) and i loved how he started Zach out in a mental institute! At first i had my doubts about this, hoping it wouldnt turn into ANOTHER shutter island(because lets face it, one unknowingly insane person can last a life time), but i am very glad to say that i was wrong.
