The People vs. Alex Cross (Alex Cross #25)

Review: The People Vs. Alex Cross - James Patterson - November 2017



When it comes to James Patterson's writings, I will always give them a go. His other series though, I am finding myself getting a little bored with them. One series though that I will always feel excited about is the  Alex Cross Novels, and we are up to Book #25.  This book takes readers back to the beginning of James Patterson's novels with the case of the cult followers of Gary Soneji and his son Dylan Winslow.  Alex Cross is up on multiple counts of murder against members who thought they would dress up as Gary Soneji and get revenge on Alex Cross. For those who remember that name Gary Soneji was the serial killer we were first introduced to back in 1993 in the very first Alex Cross Novel - Along Came a Spider. Having this book connected to the first makes me wonder if we have finally seen the end of Alex Cross and his family and course partner John Sampson. While Alex Cross is up on trial, his wife Bree and Sampson are trying to solve a case of who is kidnapping blondes and making them star in their snuff films on the internet. Alex Cross through whom we know can't seem to stay out of mischief will be drawn into the case, and it is looking like he might spend life in prison too. That is until Alex Cross's youngest son Ali Cross steals the show. I just loved how his character is almost becoming a mini version of his Dad. Who knows James Patterson might do what Harlan Coben and Kathy Reichs did and have in the future a YA spin-off series featuring Ali Cross.  This particular James Patterson book is a great read for true fans of his Alex Cross novels and for people who have been following his Alex Cross novels since the very beginning.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
