Mary, Mary (Alex Cross, #11)

Review: Mary, Mary - Book #11 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - October 2006



With the latest release of the Alex Cross novels, I decided to go through the list of his books in this series and make sure that I had read all of them. I noticed that there were two that I hadn't read. Mary, Mary was one of them that I hadn't rated on Goodreads. However, as I started reading it, parts were flashing back and as it was released before I started writing my book reviews and my blog - I think I read it then. Unlike the other Alex Cross novels, this one didn't feel like an actual Alex Cross story until later on in the book as Mary, Mary has a few storylines which eventually merge together at the end and all connect up. We have the first set of killings where famous mothers are being murdered and at the end of each murder sent to the LA Times is a letter signed by Mary Smith. We then have Storyline #2 which is of a Mary Smith and her three children - Brandon, Ashley and Adam and her life as a single mother and the everyday struggles and the last storyline is of Alex Cross and his family. They start off on vacation and then he gets called into a case that digs into family time and reflects badly as he is being sued for custody of his son Alex Cross Jnr aka Ali by his ex-wife Christine.  I had to keep remembering that this was an earlier book as Ali was only three years old and Alex Cross had yet to meet Bree Stone.  Can Alex not only save the town of LA from more murders but also save his family from being split up? Find out in Mary, Mary by James Patterson - Book #11 in the Alex Cross series.

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...
