Mid-Week Brain Teaser!!

Hidden by James Patterson

with James O. Born

Hey y'all we have reached that middle of the week mark. We have moved on from Monday, but aren't exactly close enough to Friday. Over here in the Midwest the weather has decided to be utterly disrespectful with the temperature highs staying in the 30s. Combining this cold front with springing forward has left me utterly victimized! My mind, body, and soul are on zero and in need of a boost.

Enter in the bookshot Hidden by James Patterson! The main character, Mitchum, is a Navy SEAL dropout who has returned back to his small hometown. We're talking no privacy, everyone knows all your business, and even knows what you eat for breakfast. He works as a newspaper distributer, (he's a paperboy basically) and an unofficial private investigator doing minor favors for the community. He doesn't even accept pay for this side hustle. Everything changes when his teenage cousin, Bailey Mae, winds up missing. Everyone expects him to break this case and bring her home ALIVE. The quiet town is turned upside when not only is his cousin missing, but dead bodies start turning up and a strange man tries to kill Mitchum. He is determined to go to the ends of the Earth for his cousin, as she is the only person left with a pure heart in his life. But who are these strange people that rode into town? Are they connected to Bailey Mae, or is there something else happening? And where are the police in this crisis? Mitchum is only one man, a civilian, what can he really do? This was an absolute page turner and I loved it!!! I read it in between my classes and it kept me from zoning out. Books are life, y'all better get in to it!! Keep your mind sharp! Gotta stay quick witted and petty LOL!

This story is not the size of your average book (only 115 pages), hence it being a "bookshot". The purpose is to make the story more streamlined and focus on the drama/case at hand, rather than building characters and delving too deep into the backstories. I have read a few of these and they are a great stimulator. Gets your mind going without having to commit a lot of time getting into the meat of the book. These are great to pick up on work breaks and between classes. Also, if you aren't into reading a whole lot, these are an amazing start as it grasps your attention right away before you can change your mind.

The Juice (Shout out!)

My cousin and I are more like "sister cousins" as she calls it. She's from California, but I am from Indiana. We are almost the same person and it is crazy how much we have in common! While we don't get to see each other as we'd like to, our bond is solid. Both of us have started up blogs and are entering into new, exciting territory. All we ask for is love and support. So, go check out her page and spread the love!
