Target: Alex Cross (Alex Cross, #26)

Review: Target: Alex Cross - Book #26 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - November 2018


I decided with the end of the year coming up that I would go back through the backlist of Alex Cross novels as I noticed there were a few I had missed. This particular one I had given a go back in March 2019 but obviously my mind wasn't feeling it and I couldn't finish it. I decided to give it another go and re-read and this time I managed to finish the novel. I think for me, the issue was that there were just too many characters in this one as the bad guys are a group of assassins and lots of people are killed that it felt a bit too muddy for me. The parts of course that I loved was the interaction of Alex Cross and his family. I also liked how we were brought in with familiar faces from Ned Mahoney and John Sampson. In Target: Alex Cross, someone is killing the major political figures of the city and planning to take over the government as not only presidents are being murdered but also those ready to take over if the president dies. The murders aren't located to just one spot either, they are happening all over the US in various states. During this novel too, Alex Cross has a patient who likes to stalk men as it's the only way she feels love and it seems that she may get caught in the crosshairs of this new case as well. Can Alex Cross help find the killer or in this case killers before he and his family become the next target as he starts to close on the best of the best in the business of assassin kills.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
