Three Women Disappear

Review: Three Women Disappear / Come and Get Us - James Patterson and Shan Serafin - October 2020

As we settle into 2021 with the date being the 2nd January 2021, I bring to you my first review for 2021. A new mystery by James Patterson and a new unknown author Shan Serafin. This book contained two mystery stories - one full-length novel "Three Women Disappear" and a bonus novella called "Come and Get Us". In Three Women Disappear we learn that a mob accountant named Anthony Costello has been killed and the three main suspects were the women in his life - his current wife Anna, his chef, and the wife of a police detective Sarah and a new immigrant, his maid Serena. Each woman though is telling their events of what happened and not pointing the blame at themselves. As the book goes along, we learn that each of these women has a strong motive to start fresh and it looks like everybody involved in writing their own story and finding a perfect scapegoat to go down for the murder of Anthony Costello. However, will the "real killer or killers" get away with the murder? I quite liked this story as it was written well and fast-paced despite having a high number of characters and their viewpoints. Three Women Disappear had a strong Murder on the Orient Express by Agatha Christie / Strangers on a Train feel to the story. The second tale also written by the same authors was a short novella called Come and Get Us about a family ( dad, mum, and a little girl) who while driving is pushed off the road and now has to survive as they are hunted due to the husband's actions. Can they survive the nightmare or will they all be dead by the time nightfall hits? I know quite a few people judge James Patterson and therefore refuse to read his books, but I love that he gives a hand to authors starting and helping them leap-frog their platforms. If you love helping new authors like Shan Serafin, then check out Three Women Disappear/Come and Get Us as one of your 2021 reads.

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
