4.0

Hawk by James Patterson, audiobook narrated by Chloe Cannon, published by Bolinda audio, listened to using BorrowBox via Norfolk Library and Information Service 4 stars 🌟

The first book by James Patterson I ever read was ‘When the Winds Blow’ it and it blew me away, if you. Have never read it, the main character is a young girl who has escaped from a research facility.  She escapes by flying as she has wings, but she is not the only one to have been modified.

This book the main character is Hawk who as a young child was left on a street corner at the age of 5.  She was told someone was on their way to get her and they would be back as soon as they can and to wait for them at this spot.  Ten years later Hawk is still waiting for an hour every day at that spot.  The city is at the mercy of the gangs and McCullum who seems to have a hand in everything prisons, children’s homes, factories and blasts this information out from screens all around the city.

Although I enjoyed this book, I won’t be listening to any of the others in this series.  This one is aimed at YA and there were times when Hawk, who is a teenager herself brought back too many flashbacks of being a mum to teenagers myself 😂😂
