Thanks very much to Serpents Tail for sending me a copy Jungle House to review. It's out on the 2nd November and I loved it.
 .
 I sped through this one in a couple of days, it's very fast paced, intriguing and well written. The relationship between Lena and Mother is so interesting and has all the hallmarks of a clingy mum; complicated relationship; coming of age type story but the mother is an AI who Lena relies on for all news and contact with the outside world. I loved that we didn't get any information on the outside world from anyone outside the bubble of Jungle House. I love an unreliable narrator and by the end I wasn't sure if the rebels even existed or were ever a threat. I had so many theories about where Isabella had gone (they were all wrong) and at times suspected every character both human and AI. Mother is precisely why I refuse to have a smart speaker! What if it evolves!
 As speculative fiction the world of Jungle House is wholly believable. But the book is equally about human relationships and whether we can really trust the people we rely on, even when they're all robots. I particularly enjoyed the chapters we got from each of the AI perspectives. Silvana and Alfonso's part in particularly was so endearing and I had a wee tear for them.
