Cross Justice (Alex Cross, #23)


Review: Cross Justice - Book #23 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - November 2015

First off this book not only is the #23 book in the Alex Cross series but it also symbolises the 23rd year that Alex Cross has existed. James Patterson started writing the Alex Cross novels in 1993.  This surprised me as I have always been a big fan of his books and the Alex Cross ones have always been my favourites. I still remember the day I found one of his books and read it and I was hooked. So hooked that I became a faithful and loyal reader of his books.  Cross Justice started with Alex Cross and his family minus Damon taking a journey back to his hometown of Stacksville. This was where Alex Cross grew up until his parents were killed one night and then he went to live with Nana Mama. Alex's family was in need for a vacation and also Alex has been asked by his niece Naomi- remember the one who was kidnapped, she is now a lawyer to look into his cousin Stefan's case. He is currently being held on trial for murder and Naomi swears he is being framed. While home , memories of Alex's past comes to light and we learn about what life was like for young Alex. During this novel , we also read as several secrets of Alex's past are uncovered and memories that were repressed have come to light.  Cross Justice would have to be one of my favourite Alex Cross books as the final chapter , I read three times as each time it made me smile and go awh. Unlike the previous Alex Cross books - this one is not just your usual Murder Mystery but holds a deeper and more powerful element of family and secrets.  Cross Justice is the perfect read for true Alex Cross and James Patterson fans as they will appreciate the story as a whole.

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
