I, Alex Cross (Alex Cross, #16)

Review: I, Alex Cross - Book #16 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - November 2009

With the release of the new Alex Cross novel out, I decided to go back and check to see if there had been any of the series I had missed and I discovered there was a couple I hadn't read or at least reviewed on The Phantom Paragrapher according to Goodreads. I wondered with this one as it sounded familiar if I had started it but since it was before I started my blog if I had heard of it and not read through parts were familiar as I started reading it. In I, Alex Cross it is his birthday and all is fun and games until he gets a call that his niece Caroline Cross has been murdered and not in a good way either. This leads to Alex becoming involved in the investigation which he learns is much bigger than his paygrade and things are going to get much more complicated as this case includes escorts and wealthy paid men - men that are high up in society, politics and have deep deep pockets including one in particular whom they call Zeus and it seems he may be connected to the White House. Can Alex along with familiar characters and friends like Ned Mahoney and John Sampson help solve the case? We also have some family issues happening as Nana Cross suffers a couple of heart attacks and we find her life hanging in the balance. Near the end of this book to Alex gets a call from his old pal turned arch-nemesis Kyle Craig aka The Mastermind. Reading I, Alex Cross reminded me how much I loved the Alex Cross series by James Patterson and why I still have James Patterson as one of my favorite all-time authors. I, Alex Cross can be read as a stand-alone but it does help if you have read the other books.  The Alex Cross novels are like cat-nip for mystery and crime aficionados.

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...
