Tbr Tuesday!
P.S. I Still Love You - Jenny Han
Confessions: The Private School Murders - Maxine Paetro,James Patterson

Sorry! I've kinda failed at doing daily posts, I got busy! But I'm here today! 

 

Tuesdays will be by To Be Read day. I'll post about two books that I plan on reading and why. 

 

P.S. I Still Love You by Jenny Han

Why?? Because it's part of the series with To All the Boys I've Loved Before! (or maybe it's only the two books I don't know). I loved To All the Boys I've Loved Before so I'm sure I'll love this one! I'm also really excited to read more about the story considering how the first one left off! (Don't worry, this is spoiler free!) 

 

Confessions: The Private School Murders by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro

Why?? Because I loved Confessions of a Murder Suspect and I've been meaning to read this book since it came out. I seriously bought it back in October and I haven't read it yet. I'm such a fail. But since I read Maximum Ride Forever I want to read more James Patterson so I think this'll be my next read after P.S. I Still Love You. Also, because I need to read the Paris Mysterious as well XD I need to stop buying new books and read the ones I have. 

 

That's it for now! Thanks for reading! Tomorrow will be What i'm reading Wednesday if I remember to post!

Confessions: The Private School Murders - Maxine Paetro,James Patterson

The saga of the Angel children continues in the follow up to Confessions of a Murder Suspect. This book opens with Matthew still in jail for the murder of his pregnant girlfriend, and the emergence of serial killer who is killing private school girls. 

 

I though this was a fun little read. The mysteries made sense, with the exception of what was going on with Fern Haven, but even that I could somewhat buy into (suspension of disbelief right?).

 

I will be taking a break from James Patterson for a while. I've over consumed him in the last month and a half and need a break.

Another fun Angel family mystery
Confessions: The Private School Murders - Maxine Paetro,James Patterson

Tandy is back and this time she has 3 mysteries to solve. First, who killed her brother's fiancee (Matthew is on trial for the murder, but Tandy is pretty sure he didn't do it). Second, who is killing wealthy private school girls (who are about Tandy's age). And finally, how are poisonous creatures getting inside the exclusive Dakota building where the Angel family lives. Oh, and she is still trying to figure out some of her past; what memories of her love James are real and what happened to him?

 

Tandy isn't certain if she will still have the mental focus and skills needed to solve these mysteries. First, she has been off her "vitamins" since her parents' death. These "vitamins" were actually drugs given to the Angel children by their parents to make them more focused, smart and strong. Will Tandy still be able to solve the mysteries without her special drugs?  And will she be able to concentrate with the constant distracting  thoughts of James running through her mind.

 

A new character, Jacob is introduced in this book. Uncle Peter has left Jacob in charge, he is the new guardian of the Angel children. He is the most sweet and caring adult the Angel children have ever known. He is more loving and caring than Maud & Malcolm ever were.

 

All in all, this was another great Patterson book. Tandy is a fun narrator and I enjoy reading about her adventures.

Misleading title...
Confessions: The Private School Murders - James Patterson,Maxine Paetro

The title was completely misleading. I think instead of Private School Murders, it should have been Looking for James. The reference to the private school murders only took place in the beginning and the end of the novel. The rest of the time, Tandy spent her time to search for whatever information she could on James’s whereabouts. She didn’t even bother to help her brother until the very end.

Okay, to be honest, Tandy didn’t do much except stumbling on evidences that directly proved who did or didn’t commit the crimes. Her luck even went on as to enable her to solve all the mysteries in one night . That's completely an unbelievable thing, even for an Angel. But as long as good things came out of the coincidences, I was a happy camper.

The best thing that occurred in the book was the introduction of Jacob and Tandy’s grandmother (she’s dead but we get to know her from Jacob). The grandmother was an exceptional woman. She did her own things in her own way which was totally badass, in my humble opinion. Overall, she and Jacob were my favourite characters in this book.

2.5 stars!
