Review: Murder Games - James Patterson and Howard Roughan - June 2017

Murder Games is a standalone book by James Patterson and Howard Roughan. At first, I was a bit on the fence about reading this one as I have to admit when the books are co-written by Howard Roughan I haven't enjoyed the stories as much. However, in Murder Games, Howard redeemed himself as I found myself getting really into the book. Someone is killing people around the city and leaving playing cards as a calling card and also as clues to who the next victim might be. The police aren't getting anywhere with the case, so they decide to break a few rules and get Dylan Reinhart a professor of abnormal behavior into help the investigation. The thing is that Dylan has the past and doesn't want it getting out as he was in fact not always a professor. I did get a surprise in the book when we found out that Dylan was gay as this is the first time that a GLBT character has been written into a James Patterson novel. As more people start to die and they are still behind on the killer aka The Dealer. Dylan and Elizabeth must try and find a connection between the victims before it's too late and more people continue to die at the hand of the Dealer especially since there are 52 cards in a pack. If you are a fan of James Patterson's books and looking for a good standalone mystery, then Murder Games by James Patterson and Howard Roughan is the book for you.

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
