When a mysterious stranger arrives, offering them a safe haven at Buckingham Palace, they begin their journey towards it. But the real danger might be in the palace not outside. I recently found a love for zombies. I discovered that it was a pretty easy transition from criminal TV shows and stories. Which is I have taken to reading zombie books. One of my friends had this book when I saw it for the first time. I asked to read it (I might have stolen it) since it seemed like an interesting read. My guess was correct. It was great! The reason it was great was because of how different it was from other zombie books. In The Enemy  no character is safe. Any ...

I won't give it away, but I'm sure you'll notice a pattern after you read it. Man, this book make...

As I have said earlier, I am a huge fan of criminal TV shows. I am also a fan of James Patterson, ever since I Confessions of A Murder Suspect , I have been trying to get my hands on any book that he has written. So, finding Private India  was amazing.
