Awesome

Always love these books by James.
This series is soo great you never want to put the books down. You always want more.
That's why I took a break, I was reading them to fast and had to wait for them to come out. Usually finish these in a day.

4 1/2 stars really. I never know when I pick up a Patterson book if it'll be good or just so so. This one was really good and I'm glad because I LOVE The Woman's Murder Club series! This one actually left me excited for #13! Very happy with it.

This was an interesting read. This is my favourite book of the series so far.I really love Lindsay Boxer. She has become one of my favourite heroines. In this book, Lindsay gives birth to her daughter during a thunder storm. Also, she has a case that involves a rising football player as the primary suspect of a murder. While also dealing with a professor who is experience vivid dreams of about shootings that seem to be accurate on every front. There was crime, mystery, and some badass moments. I really liked the fast pace of the story, and also the twists that unfold in the series are great. The ending was great, and I didn't expect it at all. This series reminds me of Criminal Minds, but an all-female version of it. I can't wait to read book 13, and I am excited to see what the series has in store for me. Unlucky 13, here I come. Overall, a great read.

Not a bad entry in the series, but not great either. The problem with this book is that too much was crammed into one story, it could have easily been split up into two stories and would have been so much better. Because there were too many stories arcs going at once, everything was extremely rushed at the end in an attempt to wrap it all up.

My thoughts:

*Lindsey, Joe & Baby Girl:
Absolutely loved the birth scene, kinda made me giggle. She was in such denial and I was like “girllllll!”
Baby girl Julie was perf! And then she had a terminal disease (like come on give these characters a break) and then the baby just had curable mono.
Loved seeing Lindsey and Joe navigate the new life as parents, and Lindsey still being the bad ass detective she is!

*Yuki & Jackson:
I am loving the relationship development between Yuki & Brady! I am feeling really good about this one. It’s making me swoon! I am also loving that we are getting more of Yuki being a DA and being a badass in court, even though she has a losing streak going on at the moment

*Cindy & Rich:
The story line between these two lovebirds after their year long engagement ended quite fast. I loved them together, but Rich made some solid points as to why he was done.
I feel like Cindy is getting more pushy lately, and I am not liking it. When it comes to her job as the reporter.
Rich is an amazing detective, and is an AMAZING partner to Lindsey on the job!

*Claire:
I wish we got to see more of her! I would love to see as much of her work as we do of Yukis, and I’m hoping it’s her time to shine soon! The body being stolen from her and then her getting her job taken away and her pay being cut in half was kinda shitty, anyone who knows Claire know she’s a girlboss and would NEVER intentionally let something like that happen. I was LIVID!!!!!!!



Side Note: I am missing Jill & often wonder what the series would be like with her still in it. Also, not mourning Chris as much anymore, but still would have loved to see that plot line work itself out.
