"James Patterson is sick and demented (in a good way, of course!) because he writes such amazing books! His novel, //Roses Are Red// is thrilling and creepy. Patterson's villain, THE MASTERMIND, has the obsession to kill. Patterson keeps you guessing until the very last page. //Roses Are Red// is an incredible page-turner. He keeps you on your toes. The detective, Alex Cross, tries to hunt down THE MASTERMIND, who continuously robs banks then kills the bank tellers and their families, while he struggles to convince his wife to join him and their kids so they can be a family again. Will Alex Cross discover the identity of THE MASTERMIND? Will his family ever be ONE again? You will never believe the ending! That's not what I expected!" -Shelbie McCurdy

Violets Are Blue
"//Violets Are Blue// starts off with a bang! There is a murder in the first two pages! Alex Cross finds his partner and lover, Betsey murdered-slaughtered to death. Cross receives a phone call from THE MASTERMIND that he states that he is after him next! James Patterson keeps the reader intrigued and on the edge of their seat. Alex Cross once again struggles with the fear that THE MASTERMIND might kill his family also. Cross hunts for THE MASTERMIND throughout the entire novel, while coming across other murders created by THE MASTERMIND! Alex Cross is always a little too late. Will Alex Cross ever catch THE MASTERMIND? Will he finally find a woman who can accept his profession and passion as a detective? The ending will blow you away!" -Shelbie McCurdy
