Review: Like Father, Like Son - Book #2 Ali Cross Series - James Patterson - June 2021

This was one title I had been waiting for ages to get my hands on and read, no longer working in the library - gone are the days when I got the first picks and also got to see what was released as soon as they came into the library. Recently, I decided to sign up for the Libby library app and OMG it is amazing I have been able to catch up on some of my favorite authors and their reads and discover new authors. One of my all-time favorites would still have to be James Patterson despite people saying he is overrated now and just pumps them out. One of my favorite James Patterson books is the Alex Cross series and in the tradition of authors like Harlan Coben and John Grisham as they released series with the children being the detectives. Ali Cross series is based on Alex Cross's youngest child and the one who is most like his father in terms of having a big heart as well as a passion for justice, doing what is right, and solving crimes no one else can. In Book #2 Like Father, Like Son - Ali and his friends sneak out to a music festival on the other side of the tracks where Ali knows he isn't supposed to be. He is there with his friends as Zoe's mother is one of the performers.  What will happen though is that Zoe will be shot and the only witness is Ali Cross. Ali wants to do the right thing but he has a crush on Zoe and she has sworn him to silence. He knows there is more to the story, but when he sees the police getting nowhere - he and his friends while Zoe is in hospital decide to do their investigations which will open Ali's eyes to the homeless situation and the police moving them on, etc. Can Ali do the right thing and save his friend but also do right by the police as his father is of course the famous Detective Alex Cross and his stepmother Bree is also a Detective with the MPD.  If you loved the Alex Cross series and want a more YA version to share with your tween/teen, then introduce them to Ali Cross by James Patterson.

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
