Have you ever seen the movie Men In Black? What if there were aliens walking around amongst us, studying us, maybe getting ready to kill us? Well The Dangerous Days of Daniel Xby James Patterson tackles that topic in his latest book.
Daniel X is an alien hunter. He may be the last alien hunter on earth. His parents were killed by the worst alien, The Prayer, and now it falls to Daniel to slowly work his way through a list until he seeks his revenge with The Prayer.
Lucky for Daniel, he has certain abilities that allow him rearrange an object's molecules with his mind or else how could one 15 year old actually kill aliens.
I actually enjoyed this book. As always, Patterson provides a quick, easy read which is just what I needed to get back into the swing of reading. I hope (and think) this book will begin a new series for Patterson because Daniel did not make it to the top of the list, and The Prayer is still out there.

Posted by Jessica | 10:30 AM | Jessica, mystery, Patterson, thriller | 0 comments »James Pattersonwrites two book series that I enjoy... The Women's Murder Club and the Alex Cross series. Double Cross
is the latest Alex Cross book.
Alex Cross lives in Washington, DC with his Nana Mama (grandmother) and his three kids Damon, Jannie, and Alex Jr. Nana Mama pretty much raises the kids because of Alex Cross's career. In the beggining of the series, Alex worked for the Metro Police Department. Eventually the FBI recruited him because of his work with the police and the fact that he had a doctorate in Psychology. I believe in the last book, he quit the FBI to focus on his therapy practice and have more time with his kids.
Cross's speciality is serial killers, and in Double Crosshe comes face to face with two of them. The first is a former actor, and the second is Kyle Craig. Kyle Craig was a former co-worker (FBI) and friend of Cross. Kyle has escaped from a supermaximum security prison and is out to get Cross.
Also in this book is the blossom of romance with Brianna Stone (Bree) who is a Detective. Because of the two killers on the loose, Alex makes the decision to once again join the police force but only on high profile cases. I think we'll be seeing Kyle Craig in the future on one of those cases.
I always enjoy James Patterson'sworks. He writes short chapters that move the story along quickly. Check him out if you haven't yet!
Jessica: You've Been Warned by James Patterson
Posted by Jessica | 5:35 PM | Jessica, mystery, Patterson, thriller | 0 comments »You've Been Warned by James Patterson. This book was a bit weird. Kristen is a young artist/photographer whose day job is working for a weathly couple caring for their two young kids. Kristen falls in love with the man of her dreams, but unfortunatley he is taken. Not only is he taken but he is her employer... yes the father of the two kids she watches is also her lover.
Kristen is plagued with nightmares and sees people on the street who have already passed away (like her father). She also sees the bodies of four people who have yet to die.
I can't really explain the story because it was kind of weird with all the nightmares, seeing things that haven't happened yet, and seeing dead people. I kept thinking... is she losing her mind. I does finally come full circle at the end, but it wasn't what I was expecting.
There was a fun little love scene in the midst of all the craziness. Check out this book to find out more.
Jessica: The Quickie by James Patterson
Posted by Jessica | 6:26 PM | Jessica, Patterson, thriller | 0 comments »Sometimes I love long detailed stories, but other times I just want a quick read... and I can always count on James Patterson to deliver.
The Quickie is a fast-paced thriller to find how far a woman will go to cover up for her husband. There are twists and turns, and every time you think you know where the story is headed, Patterson goes the other way. I won't go into the plot because I don't want to spoil the suspense for anyone.
I highly recommend this book. James Patterson always delivers a good time.
Funny how some established authors only release one or two books per year, but Patterson has been known to put out 4-5 books in a single year.
