Description: San Francisco Detective Lindsay Boxer is loving her life as a new mother. With an attentive husband, a job she loves, plus best friends who can talk about anything from sex to murder, things couldn't be better.

Then the FBI sends Lindsay a photo of a killer from her past, and her happy world is shattered. The picture captures a beautiful woman at a stoplight. But all Lindsay sees is the psychopath behind those seductive eyes: Mackie Morales, the most deranged and dangerous mind the Women's Murder Club has ever encountered.

Review: 

As soon as I saw this was out, I dropped everything and got myself a copy. It was so good I finished it within a day.

Three different things are happening in tho book. One people are being murder after eating at a fast food restaurant another is Mackie Morales is back and wants revenge and last but not least Yuki is being held hostage on a cruise.

The murders was a good one, a whole new way to kill people, but i felt it was never really explained why they went around killing people nor did they really confess to the murders which is odd.

With Mackie being back and set on killing the WMC I did think there would be some sort of show down with Boxer or for it to be harder to track her down. Without saying too much the ending for it was crap and was hoping for more.

I feel Yuki always has crappy luck now that she has been kidnapped on a cruise and while that part was exciting it's never really explained why the cruise was hijacked.

Above all there was a lot of un answered questions and the endings are totally disappointing and have no closure on the stories.

Rating: 4/5

Recommend: Yes, even though it had good stories you will be left disappointed

Mistress - James Patterson Review

Hey

I recently read another book by James Patterson and decided it was time for another review.

Mistress

Description: Ben isn't like most people. Unable to control his racing thoughts, he's a man consumed by his obsessions: movies, motorcycles, presidential trivia-and Diana Hotchkiss, a beautiful woman Ben knows he can never have. When Diana is found dead outside her apartment, Ben's infatuation drives him on a hunt to find out what happened to the love of his life. Ben soon discovers that the woman he pinned got was hiding a shocking double life. And now someone is out to stop Ben from uncovering the truth about Diana's illicit affairs. 

Review: I was really disappointed with this book. I normally love everything he writes but a few of his books haven't been that good and this one falls into that cateorgary. I found the story line is just a little too far fetched. I found it to be all over the place and am now wondering if that's the point seeing as how Ben is a bit mental. 

While the book did keep me reading it was only to see what the big secret was which I can say I didn't see coming and while I did read to the end I still felt it was boring and probably could have saved myself some hours by not reading it.

My Rating?: 3/5

Would I recommend?: No, unless you are dying to know what the secret is.

Second Honeymoon Book Review

Hey friend

I have another book review for you and it's by James Patterson. I love all his books and tend to read them so fast, must be all those short chapters :)

Second Honeymoon (Second Honeymoon#2)

By James Patterson

2013

432 Pages.

Description:  A walk down the aisle. A resort hotel, a drink on the beach.. For these unlucky couples, the honeymoon's over. A newlywed couple steps into the Sauna in their deluxe honeymoon suite - and steps out again. When another couple are killed when boarding their honeymoon flight to Rome, it becomes clear that someone is targeting honeymooners.

FBI Agent John O'Hara is deep into solving the case, while Special Agent Sarah Brubaker is hunting another ingenious serial killer, whose victims all have one thing in common..

Review

Storyline: There is two story's going on in this books and they all have one thing in common, John O'Hara. They are both extremely well written stories both holding your attention and interesting twist as to how both stories entwine with one character. At some points you are trying to figure out what's going on before the characters do.

Characters: Some really thought out characters, each with there own story. During the book you want what's best for certain characters. 

Overall: Another great book by James Patterson. There is something about his books that just leaves you enmersed in the story that you tend to lose what day it is. I have no trouble reading all his book in less than a day. I love the short chapters.

My Rating: 10/10

Would I Recommend?: yes, even if you have never read anything by this author before.

Till next time

XOXO
