Review: Detective Cross - Book #24.5 Alex Cross Series - James Patterson - May 2017

Carrying on from the Bookshots Cross Kill is Detective Cross, in this book, we read that Alex Cross is currently on a 5-week suspension due to the upcoming trial of the murders of the "other Garys". They are trying to say that it was premeditated murder which of course it wasn't, he was set up. In Detective Cross, we read that Alex is taking a seat back from Crime and putting his Doctor's work to use by seeing a few patients in his home. Former and current law enforcement that have been sent to him for psych evaluations. One of them is a former military agent, Kate, who will help Detective Cross to solve a crime of who is bombing the city as they are using IEDs and old C4 which indicates former military. In this book, we also see more of Bree Stone aka Mrs. Cross as she is the one receiving the phone calls just before the bombs go off and communicating throughout the book with the bomber. What is the bomber's final plan and what does he hope to achieve? I enjoyed this quick read and it also gave into a stronger perspective on the treatment of veterans once they have returned from the war, I remember when I was in the US in 2013 and walking to a Starbucks at Christmas time and saw a young Vet who would have been early 20s in his uniform with his dog living out of a cardboard box and my heart broke as these soldiers do their service and get PTSD and find it hard to readjust to reality and they are unable to get help. It's just not right at all and it does break my heart so much the treatment as it's not enough. Detective Cross was not only another good installment in the Alex Cross Series but one that will open your eyes to other issues that occur in everyday life.

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...
