Last week I celebrated highlights from 2023 and told you about my exciting releases in 2024. Take a look to see what is coming down the pipe
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.
I begin this Teaser Tuesday with a warning. Do not start on Cross My Heart by James Patterson if you don’t have Hope to Die queued up to go. Trust me, you’ll want to have it ready and waiting. This is a two-parter, and you will not be happy with where Cross My Heart leaves you hanging.
Both books together make it an epic thriller in the Alex Cross series. Prepare to be captivated from the very first page as Patterson skillfully weaves a web of suspense that will leave you on the edge of your seat to the very end. Plenty of colorful characters, suspenseful moments, and tragic reverses!
These two books create an unbeatable two-punch combination, delivering an unforgettable reading experience. Patterson’s word weaving will have you emotionally invested in the fate of Alex Cross’s family and his enthralling quest. Prepare yourself for a rollercoaster ride of emotions.
He also believed Cross’s family deserved the wickedness to come.
