Review: Escape - Book #3 Billy Harney Series - James Patterson and David Ellis - June 2022

Readers of The Phantom Paragrapher and my book reviews will know that James Patterson is one of those authors, no matter what is released and contains his name I will give it a go. Sometimes the books are duds and sometimes they surprise me. I had read a couple of his books with David Ellis and they tend to be average reads but still adventurous. In Escape, which is Book 3 of the Billy Harney series it starts with a van chase as Billy and his partner are following a kidnapper in his van. The same kidnapper who has killed four previous females, made a mistake though as he picked one who had a family looking for her, these cocky killers make rookie mistakes. The book then jumps to Billy meeting a young girl who claims she overheard her father hiring a hitman to kill her mother and then the third storyline is Billy's team trying to get a bad man off the streets and through his sidekick - a young guy who is on the spectrum. All three storylines did connect, but at points, it did make the storyline feel a bit muddy and busy which can confuse readers. Overall, though, this was a good adventure read and though it is Book 3, it can be read as a stand-alone book. If you love law enforcement, mysteries, crime, and action - then check out Escape by James Patterson and David Ellis.

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...
