19th Christmas (Women's Murder Club, #19)

Review: 19th Christmas - Book #19 Women's Murder Club Series - James Patterson and Maxine Paetro - October 2019


The Women's Murder Club crew and their partners are looking forward to a hopeful quiet-ish Christmas this year in San Francisco. Of course, we know that's not going to happen as even Lindsey's old partner is pulled in from retirement. Seems a cop's work is never done as the team gets a tip that someone named Mr. Lomas is going to do the heist of a lifetime at it is happening Christmas day. No other information and as the team tries to follow the countless leads, they always end in the same thing - a dead body. This case also causes a little stress for the families of the police officers as they had planned to spend Christmas with their families, in particular, Lindsey Boxer's family as we see tensions rise between her and Joe where he even tries to talk to her about quitting which we know will never happen. Joe also gets a nice surprise at the end of this book too and it makes us wonder whether she will be a regular character in latter books. While the rest of the Murder Club is trying to solve crimes, Cindy with the help of Yuki is trying to get an innocent man acquitted of a crime. After researching an article about Mexican culture and their Christmas traditions, she receives a tip from a lady named Maria about her husband and so Cindy and Yuki try to give Eduardo and Maria a Christmas miracle they will never forget.  Fans of the Women's Murder Club will love this Christmas based mystery. I found despite the fact it was a bit too many characters for my liking, a good read to be reunited with all my favorite main characters.

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...
