2025 Reading Challenge discussion

This thread is to discuss Kill Alex Cross, the eighteenth book in the Alex Cross series by James Patterson.

Pages: 375 pages

Length: 1 month (November)

Participants:Lynn, Iton, Jannene

Everyone reads at their own pace during a Buddy Read. Because participants can be at different parts of the book at different times, it is extremely important to mark spoilers so that the book is not ruined for someone who is not as far along as others!!!

Mark spoilers by placing {spoiler} before the text and {/spoiler} after the text but use the < and > instead of the { and }.

I’ll catch up and listen to the audiobooks. I’ve been sick and not interested in reading.

Oh, I am so sorry, Jannene! I hate it when I'm too sick to read! :) Here's hoping you're able to recover...both from the illness and the lack of reading! :)

I’ll finish Cross Fire tonight. You still reading?

I just inhaled this one. This is one of my favorites in this series thus far. I found the mysteries to be a bit more realistic and I appreciated the fact that (view spoiler)[Alex, Sampson, and Ned Mahoney actually ended breaking the law themselves in order to see justice done. Even if Glass does eventually die without ever having to face prison, etc. I can only assume we will see more of Hala in further installments. (hide spoiler)]

At least I wasn't rolling my eyes while reading this one! :)

Right on the eye rolling. I am almost finished. Not sure how nana mama always seems to be on the brink of death and still lives.

My eye-rolling usually occurs when the villains accomplish something that is seemingly impossible to do. :)

I just finished. This was a very good book. I like the new addition to their family.

As do I! (view spoiler)[Yay for Nana Mama and her guts to take on another child. Obviously a troubled teenager! Of course Alex and Bree will be taking on the legal liability as foster parents. I was thrilled when Alex finally came around once he discovered Ava's food hoarding... (hide spoiler)]
