4.5 stars rounded up to 5.Wow. This book should be called Nina Bloom’s (aka Jeannine) Series of Unfortunate Events. This book is a wild ride, and it hooked me from page one. The book really picks up, though, once you get to the portion that talks about why Nina/Jeannine started a new life.
The chapters are very short, which led to me reading the book very quickly - the ideas would be clipped, so then I would think, “well I can read one more chapter to see what happens” (famous last words). It was also very tense - I quickly realized that I couldn’t take the time to breathe a sigh of relief for Nina at any point.. There were many moments where I thought to myself, well WHAT are the chances??? But I didn’t care. I was happy to go along for the thrill ride. When you get near the end of the book, you’ll see things weren’t really so chance-y after all.
The book did slow down for me a bit in the middle - but it picked up the pace again once Nina found her rhythm with the lawyer Charlie.
And the ending? Be prepared for a knock-down-drag-out fight to the finish (there is also a lot of violent acts described toward the end, so be cautious if you’re squeamish). I felt like I had been thrown around the room a little bit with those last few chapters. All in all, I’m glad I read it and would recommend to people who like thrillers and suspense; toward the end of the book, I’d recommend it for people who like movies like Joy Ride or Silence of the Lambs (think more Buffalo Bill, less people being eaten by Hannibal Lecter).

Now You See Her Books Reviews
First off I have to say that I've read many of Patterson's books and although not great art, they are, for the most part good fun to read. Yes, they usually require a healthy suspension of belief but this one was beyond the pale. The plot is patently rediculious relying on impossible coincidences and happenstance. Characterization is usually a Patterson strong suite but not here. This book is a total waste of time, which in this case, is not a good thing.
I had never read anything by James Patterson before, but it didn't take long before I understood why he's so wildly popular. The action in "Now You See Her" is jet-propelled, right from the get-go. The story has more than a corkscrew, and I never anticipated any of them. Sure, I was thinking ahead, but he was always two, three, fours steps ahead of my thought process. That only added to my enjoyment of the story, which ranged from white-knuckling my to laughing out loud. The storyline got way out there, but it always managed to walk the line of plausibility. It was a thoroughly fun and satisfying read. The question now is which one of his novels should I read next?
I started this book and read it cover to cover in less than two days! I'm a picky reader...either the book is great from the start or I put it down and find another. I don't have time to waste on reading about detailed room descriptions or sunsets or mountain views. I want story, I want good characters and I want action. This book was all of that and more. I never suspected the ending...which is why I read it at lightening speed. It's a great beach read...and now I have to find more.
This book is the kind of book that gets made into a B rated, scary movie for teenagers. It really plays on misogyny and women's fears. That said, I couldn't put it down but I kept wanting the torture to be over with. I just wanted to read it until I knew the main character was going to be ok. Of courses she was, but not before she went through every trial known to womankind. It's very manipulative and not at all like Grisham or any of the other writers I follow that have good tension and mystery but are more intellectual and less sophomoric. I would not recommend it and will not be reading any of his other books. He didn't even write this on his own but he sure is good at promoting himself.
Goodreads Now You See Her
Nina Bloom seems to have it all. She’s a single mother with a loving daughter and advancing career. Then an innocuous pro bono case threatens to bring it all down and reveal the surprising truth, There is no Nina Bloom.
She’s been on the run for the past seventeen years, but now her past is on the verge of finding her. And if it does, it will kill her.
******************************************************************************************
Patterson weaves a fast paced action adventure that will have you on the edge of your seat. The action doesn’t stop right up to the end. This is a 5 star plot. So why did I give it 4?
_______________________________________________________________
The main protagonist is female and the story is sometimes told as her narrative. (More on this later.) There were places where she didn’t come off as female. Her description of the Z28 with it’s 5.7 liter, V8 engine sounds more masculine than feminine. I know that there are some women who are proficient with cars, but like their male counterparts, that doesn’t just appear and disappear. To possess that knowledge, a fascination with cars should be evident in all of her life, posters, trips to races, etc.
_______________________________________________________________
First person singular.
If you decide to write first person singular, there are rules. You can only tell readers things the protagonist knows, things that have happened in their sight. You can more readily express their emotions and thoughts, and that brings the emotions and action much closer. BUT! You lose the ability to tell the reader things that none of the characters know.
I’ve seen three writers attempt to have their first person singular cake and eat it too. Andy Weir in “The Martian.” In my opinion, he was successful by using the artifact of a journal. At least half of the book is third party omnipotent. He was able to use the first person singular emotions with a journal kept by the main character.
James Lee Burke tried to do something similar by relating a story told to the protagonist. Unfortunately, he was unable to resist the urge to use his signature descriptions of the environment, describing in great detail the smell, feel, and comparisons. An unlikely recount of some regular dude who isn’t a gifted writer.
Mr. Patterson (Who is clearly a highly recognized writer) simply ignores the rules, switching from first person singular, to third party omnipotent, willy nilly, as convenient.
The result is a novel that kept me up well after my bed time, unable to put it down. But it felt like cheating. As and Indie author, I keep to the rules. I’d hope a gifted author could do the same.
4.5 stars rounded up to 5.
