Review: Hope to Die - Book #22 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - November 2014

Starting where Cross My Heart finished we are re-introduced to the characters Marcus Sunday aka Thierry Mulch and Acadia- his partneress in crime. Under the name Marcus Sunday, he has written a book all about committing the Perfect Crime and how one becomes the perfect criminal, but what is more interesting is his hypothesis on how one can turn their moral clocks and go from being the Perfect Detective to the Perfect Killer- how does one snap to that level ? Who better to test this theory on than one of the best Detectives and highly ranked cops around - Alex Cross who has spent his lifetime catching the killers nobody could catch. At the end of Cross my Heart, we read as Alex Cross's family members one by one had been taken from him and it finished with Alex starring at the photos of his family members each dead with a bullet hole as a fashion accessory. Hope to Die was quite an intense read and the reader starts to feel sorry for Alex and the emotion rate on this book is quite high as true fans have grown up with Alex's family and who wants to really read about their favourite family being brutally tortured and killed off one by one. During this book, the first body shows up and we are left wondering if it is Bree as by all means it looks like her and then in Alex's backyard the next one appears - this time resembling his older son Damon. Is the rest of Alex's family next as the Killer bides his time waiting for the next crack in Alex's armour ? As like previously, I loved reading James Patterson's Alex Cross series and will be the first to admit that out of all of James Patterson's characters - I definitely am a Alex Cross and John Sampson girl. Not to give off any more spoilers, I will leave with letting readers know that Hope to Die will possibly be the most intense and emotional packed of James Patterson's books that you will read , especially if you have been invested into the characters since Book #1 like myself.
 Hope to Die is definitely a book that all dedicated fans of the Alex Cross series must read.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
