Review - The Darker Side - Cody McFayden

-


Wanting a good read ? One with Serial Killers and a great storyline ? Did you notice the new symbol at the beginning of the review - the one with the little Library Building as last year I did the Support your library challenge , that was the pic for library books and this year I decided to bring in a little library building to symbolise books that I have reviewed from the library.
Review: The Darker Side - Book #3 Smoky Barrett Series - Cody McFayden - September 2008
Are you a fan of Serial Killer novels ? Love and Read Cody McFayden's other books ? When I saw this book come through, I wasn't sure if I had read it but when I started bits and pieces started to gel and seem familiar but it was prior to the joining the ranks of Book Bloggers United and our fabulous community of sharing books, and since I am such a huge fan of Cody's books , I figured why not just read it again and I'm glad I did as of course surprise, surprise I enjoyed it.
In The Darker side, we are reunited with our favourite team of FBI Agents who remind me of the team on Criminal Minds. We have lead agent Smoky Barrett , Callie , Alan and James - a nice team of four. When the first victim is killed , the senator's daughter it seems that it could be a political killing but when they observe the body and her home it seems that this is the work of a serial killer . Soon deaths start piling up and it seems that they all have things in common , they are all Catholics and have sinned in one way or another and it seems the Serial Killer soon named "The Preacher" has been killing for a very very long time. Unlike , past criminals though, this killer is experienced and clean as we watch more and more die before the FBI can catch them. However, when one of their friends gets caught up in the web , will they die or wil the FBI be able to stop them ? How many more must die in order for the killer to be caught?
The Darker Side features a strong religious fanatic killer and if you are Catholic - it does look at that in the extreme , so if that offends you -do not read. You have been warned.
As always,  IMO Cody Mcfayden has done another fabulous job with writing another mystery novel that captures the attention of it's audience.

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...
