JABBIC 25 Alive Book Review

Well, for once, James Patterson’s name is smaller than the title. Progress, folks. Progress.

There’s one major turnoff here—but we’ll get to that in a minute.

The rich gold tones of, well, EVERYTHING definitely catch the eye. Even the fog is gold. It’s dynamic, dramatic, and gives off a strong suspense vibe. Looming behind the giant number 25 is a woman with a gun walking toward us. Nice. It’s refreshing, actually—since most covers show women running away. This lady? She’s coming for you.

The header tells us it’s “A Women’s Murder Club Thriller.” Honestly? That doesn’t excite us much. We’re not big fans of hopping into a series midway or…

…AT THE 25TH INSTALLMENT.

Yeah. This is the 25th book in a series we didn’t even know existed. So despite the stylish cover, we’re not picking this one up. And let’s face it—if you’ve read the other 24, you don’t care what the cover looks like. You’re already in.

Rating:  ★★☆☆☆ (2/5).

Based on the Cover, We Think This Book Is About…
A woman survives a murder attempt that takes out her fiancé and her cat. She’s out for revenge. But it’s not gonna be easy. (Generic? You betcha. We hope we’re wrong.)
