The Lost by James Patterson REVIEW

 

Witch & Wizard series: Book Five
Summary:

Whit Allgood is renowned for healing the victimized. But now the people of his City have turned their backs on all who use magic, and Whit is faced with a terrible choice: Give up his power or let good people die.
Wisty Allgood once saved the City from despair, but now she watches over a society that fears her power and is unwilling to accept her as she is. Increasingly bitter and isolated, she is on the brink of abandoning everyone she's ever cared for.
All the while, a daunting but charismatic new enemy with insurmountable power is gathering legions of cult followers, enslaving thousands, and wrenching public opinion against its former heroes . . . making the City vulnerable to a catastrophic attack from which it would never recover. With the Allgoods unable to help, will evil finally take back control?

What I Liked:

It was interesting enough to keep reading.

What I Didn't Like:

There was some swearing, it was pretty boring, and it was kind of repeating some of the storyline from the previous book.

My Rating: 1 star

The Gift by James Patterson REVIEW

 

Witch & Wizard series: Book Two
Summary:

Ever since Whit and Wisty Allgood were cruelly torn from their home and family in the middle of the night, the soldiers of a brutal totalitarian government have relentlessly tried to capture and execute them for "collusion, conspiracy, and experimentation with the dark and foul arts". But this supremely skilled witch and wizard have instead boldly spearheaded the fight against the wicked regime of the New Order and its systematic destruction of music, art, books, and imagination.
The villainous leader of the New Order is just a breath away from the ability to control the forces of nature and to manipulate his citizens on the most profound level imaginable - though their minds. There is only one more thing he needs to triumph in his evil quest: the Gifts of Whit and Wisty Allgood. And he will stop at nothing to seize them.

What I Liked:

This was an interesting and good sequel to Witch  & Wizard.

What I Didn't Like:

It swore a few times.
