Tandy Angel comes from a very wealthy family but her life has never been perfect.  One night when her parents are murdered and Tandy, her brothers and their parents assistant are the only ones in the house, they all become the main suspects of the parents murder. Tandy takes it upon herself to find her parents killer even if the killer is one of her family members or even herself.

Pros of this book:

• The behind the scenes family issues
• Great writing style. James Patterson uses the writing style where the book is written like Tandy is actually talking to you.

Cons of this book:

• Predictable
• Unrelatable characters
• Additional story lines start to develop but then are just forgotten about.
• No build up towards the ending of the book.
• The detectives working on this case did nothing but make accusations.
• Tandy starts talking about something interesting that happened in her life but then just stops talking about it and start talking about something else.

Even though this book was pretty crappy I’ve heard that the next book in the series is pretty good, It’s not a top priority but I will read it one day.

Overall I give this book a 4 out of 10.

SPOILERS – DO NOT READ UNLESS YOU HAVE READ CONFESSIONS OF A MURDER SUSPECT

I found this book a let down. The more I think about it the less I like it. There were a couple things I loved about this book but there were so may things that made me not like it.

For example I absolutely loved the way this book was written, like Tandy was talking to you and I liked all the family secrets. How her parents had given her and her brothers pills to enhance their abilities. And her ‘boyfriend’ and what happened with that. But that was all I liked.

As I said above this book was super predictable. I did what anyone would do with a mystery book, throughout the book I tried to work out how the people were killed. When we were first told that they were killed with poison I connected the dots and also thought about how Tandy didn’t hear and sounds when her parents were killed it had suicide written all over it, even the dumb detectives should have been able to work that out, but I was in denial, I thought it would be boring if a book that such a potential to be great ended in a suicide. But sure enough… That really ruined this book for me. I have an image of sherlock in my mind walking into this crime scene taking one look around and saying, “Why would you waste my time! Its a damn suicide!” before stomping off.

Still I am interested in reading Confessions: The Private School murders and Confessions: The Paris Mysteries. I want to find out more about Tandy’s crazy life. I hope we will get to learn more about her ‘boyfriend’ and about the medication their parents made her take. I am going to try and get these books soon before I lose interest.

When I finished this book I through it across my bed then sat there crying for a few minutes. Then I went to tell my mum about the book and I wasn’t able to get any words out without crying. To me, that is a sign that I loved the book. And I did.

Jem has always seen the numbers, she has seen them since she was a baby but she has never known what they meant. But then when her mother dies she realises what the dates really mean. They’re death dates. When she looks into people’s eyes she sees the date that they will die. One day when she is waiting in line for the London Eye when she notices that everyone standing around her has the same death date… today. What comes next sends her running from the cops, trying to protect her secret and tying to save her one and only friend.

I cannot find anything to fault with this book.This book is written perfectly. The romance is really nice. The characters are relatable. The story line is very intriguing and fast-paced. The cover is awesome! I love this book so much. It is defiantly up there with my favourites. Honestly I would recommend this book to anyone no matter what you read.

Over all I give this book a 9 1/2 out of 10.

SPOILERS – DO NOT READ THIS UNLESS YOU HAVE READ NUMBERS

This book wasn’t exactly what I had expected it to be. On a review I read it made it seem like this book was about a girl who could see peoples death dates and one day she goes to some city and she sees a lot of people with the same death date so she takes it up on herself to try and stop a terrorist attack or something from happening. I thought it was a very interesting concept but I didn’t know how it was going to work. So I read it anyway then realised I had gotten the wrong idea about it. I much preferred how this book played out. I liked the terrorist attack on the London eye and how them running away made them suspects. I absolutely loved reading about them running away from the cops. I found that this book kept me on the edge of my seat.

The romance between Jem and Spider was kinda perfect, I loved the night in the barn where they finally expressed that they loved each other. And even before that you knew that Spider loved Jem, how he stuck up for her all the time.

I didn’t understand how the cops let her stay inside the church, I understand that it is a house of God and all but if she was being considered a potential terrorist wouldn’t the cops go in and get her against her will? I’m happy they didn’t but it just seems odd that they didn’t.

Now lets talk about Spider… Well we all knew that through out the book that he was going to die but I think I speak for all of us when I say that we kept hold onto that little bit of hope that maybe he wont die. Maybe Jem will stop it some how. Until the time came. I thought that Jem really was going to kill herself then Spider came along and I realised what was happening…

AND IF THAT WASN’T ENOUGH! We then find out that Jem gets pregnant with Spiders child. It made cry even more how she described Adam. When she said that she didn’t see the numbers anymore I realised that Adam could now see them. And sure enough, that’s how the book ended.

I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on the second book I WANT IT NOW.
