I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was so glad when I was given a copy of this book from Net Galley. I have worked in migrant communities a lot here in Arizona and was excited to read a book from a Christian perspective. This book is much more of a memoir to me than a book with lots of information about migration, and undocumented migrants. However, that doesn't mean it's ineffective. Usually telling these stories as personal experiences really change people's minds and make them think. For someone who may not be so familiar with migration and undocumented immigrants this book would be really eye-opening, for me, however, I found myself wanting a little bit more. Highly recommended for people who would like to learn more.

Slower than the others, but never ceases to amaze me. I think I got spoiled by reading so much Gillen/McKelvie partnerships right away because...this..this is pure magic.
This really short review was part of my "Flash Review" at my book review blog The Hufflepuff Whovian
SO I was really excited about the premise of this book. The bachelor meets dystopia meets royalty? Bomb. Sadly, these characters have ridiculous names and I found their reflections on the past America lacking in comparison to Scott Westerfeld’s “Uglies”. I am planning on reading “The Elite”, there were moments I was yelling at the dumbness of the characters, but I find myself rooting for Maxim or however his dumb name is spelled. UGH.

Wow was this book a wild ride! I'm going to be honest, I didn't expect to love this book or really get into it. I am judgemental when it comes to James Patterson maybe because I consider him an airport author. It's the people who never read but pick up one of his books to read on a plane. Because of this I ended up with TWO of his books to read for book clubs this month.
I listened to the audiobook and it was actually pretty haunting. The person who did all the voices did a really good job and made the story come alive. I knew every time I heard the music that we were moving into a Graham Session and it was so terrifying! The book moved very quickly, and I found myself really rooting for them to catch the killer, although knowing who the killer was in advance was a little wild! I'd never read a mystery book like that before.
The twist at the end was SO GOOD, I called a different twist and while it was close, it was off, which was nice because I'm usually right. Overall, this book changed my mind on James Patterson and makes me more open to reading stuff by him in the future.
