Are you a fan of James Patterson's novels ? Wanting to read one of his stand-alone mysteries ?
Review: Kill me If you Can - James Patterson and Marshall Karp - September 2011
Are you a James Patterson fan ? Love his mystery side of things ? It's funny , I did an author profile on James Patterson and found an article that called him the Literary version of KFC. As we all know James Patterson very rarely writes his books on his own and more often than not they will say written by James Patterson and ______________. Readers and fans of James Patterson's will notice that he uses a few authors more than once and it seems that he may be recruiting more staff and co-authors as his latest novel Kill Me If You Can is being co-authored by an unknown named Marshall Karp.
If you are a fan of James Patterson's Alex Cross novels , then in a way you may very well enjoy this particular novel more than his other Stand-alone novels as the main characters e.g The Ghost reminded me of the masterminds of Kyle Craig and some of the other assassins that Alex Cross has faced in his past 18 novels.
Kill Me if You Can takes us into the lives of Diamond Smugglers and the Russian Mafia and those poor innocent people , some though not so innocent that get caught up in the hype. Our novel starts with a guy named Walter Zevlas who is on the run with a bag of Diamonds that he has stolen from Prince and Chukov. Chukov has hired a hitman known as "The Ghost" to kill Zevlas and retrieve the stolen diamonds. It seems though that things don't go exactly to plan as an struggling art student named Matthew Bannon finds them and goes on the spending thrill of his life. However, not a smart move as now Matthew Bannon must run for his life and participate in a game of Kill me if you Can. Can Matthew save his and his girlfriend Katherine's lives from all those who want a piece of the Diamond pie ?
Also as we get near the end of the novel , we discover holes in Matthew's story - something is not lining up and how did Matthew as we learn go from Marines to a struggling Art Student , what secrets is Matthew hiding from the ones he loves ?
Find out all this and more in another exciting James Patterson and Marshall Karp adventure - Kill me if you Can.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
