Review Roses are Red - James Patterson

In this heart-pounding but touchingly romantic new thriller, Detective Alex Cross pursues the most complex and brilliant killer he's ever confronted — mysterious criminal who calls himself the Mastermind.
In a series of crimes that has stunned Washington, D.C., bank robbers have been laying out precise demands when they enter the building — and then killing the bank employees and their families if those instructions are not followed to the letter.
Detective Alex Cross takes on the case, certain that this is no ordinary bank robber at work — the pathological need for control and perfection is too great. Cross is in the midst of a personal crisis at home, but the case becomes all-consuming as he learns that the Mastermind is plotting one huge, last, perfect crime.
With twists and reversals that only the mind of James Patterson could create, Roses Are Red is by far the most explosive, surprising, and fast-paced novel of James Patterson's extraordinary career.
I very enjoyed for reading this book. And I was very surpraised when I know that Mastermind is the one of Alex Cross' friend.

Review The House of Hades - Rick Riordan

You must know that The House of Hades is the fourth book in The Heroes of Olympus that spun off from the uber-popular Percy Jackson series about teen demigods (who have one Greek-or Roman- god parent) on quests to save humanity from ancient monster still at large in the world. Rick Riordan combines plenty of action and danger (usually not glory but sometimes scary) mixed with  lots of humor and learning. This book takes two of the main demigods (Percy Jackson and Annabeth Chase) straight into Tartarus (Papa monsters), so expect the scary imagery to me amped up (though most kids don't secretly fear falling into Mithological underworld, so that helps). Riordan also introduces his first gay teen character (Nico di Angelo, The Son of Hades), who gets outed by Cupid himself.
I really like this book. Especially when Riordan introduces  Nico di Angelo as his gay character. I very surprised. And read this book makes me want to read the next book, The Blood of Olympus. Hope it'll be soon.
