Jan 27, 2026 - 8:31 AM
Celia is a professor, single, and buttoned up. She longs for something she knows she will never get, that is, until she finds the Oubliette. The nightclub looks like it's for the rich and famous, but is so much more. When Asmodeus offers her everything she wants, she is dubious but accepts. And she certainly gives Lahs a run for his money!
I thoroughly enjoyed this story, short as it was. I would have enjoyed it more if it were longer, but that's probably just me being greedy! I loved the connection between Lahs and Celia, with Asmodeus watching from the sidelines. This was a great introduction to this author, and I will certainly be reading more from her. Definitely recommended by me.

Private Berlin ( Private book 5)
By James Patterson
Private, the world's most respected investigation firm, has branches around the world, each staffed with the smartest, fastest, and most advanced agents, who have cutting-edge forensic tools that not even the most powerful governments possess.
At Private Berlin, agent Chris Schneider has disappeared. Chris had taken a secretive personal leave and hadn't spoken to anyone from the office in days. The Private team retraces his footsteps to the cases he was investigating before his disappearance: a billionaire suspected of cheating on his wife, a world-famous soccer player accused of throwing games, and the owner of a seedy nightclub. They were the last people to see Chris--and they're all suspects. And someone is lying.
The Private team is led to an abandoned Nazi slaughterhouse where all hope vanishes. As Private digs further into Chris's past, a terrifying history is revealed, and they begin to suspect that someone very dangerous and very depraved is responsible for Chris's disappearance. And he's not finished in Berlin. PRIVATE BERLIN has more twists, action, and deception than any other James Patterson thriller ever.
This was my favourite in this series so far! I loved it so much suspense and guessing I really enjoy catching up with Jack too! Highly recommend this series.

I have to say that, for me, it was Antonio who made this book. I can understand Lina being conflicted when Antonio returned, but I can't agree with her actions following that first kiss. Yes, Brad turned out to be a first class jerk, but still... As for the story as a whole, it was fast-paced, angsty, and thoroughly enjoyable in many ways. There were no editing or grammatical errors that disrupted my reading flow, and the scenes flowed from one to the next. A quick coffee break book, recommended by me.
