A sincere thank you to the publisher, author and Netgalley for providing me with an ebook copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review.

This is not my usual genre, I’m more into crime/thriller books and even psychological thrillers too so I am extremely pleased and grateful to them for opening up my mind to something totally different.

So positives: the characters were interesting. My favourite was Clete and the other kids from the home. They just seemed the most interesting.

This started off with all the foundations of a great book. I found Hawk relatively likeable, through all her struggles she remained strong and despite everything, she had a good heart.

However, midway through she lost that and we went through a lot of teenage angst and self doubt and just negativity. I get it, we’ve all been there but it just seemed so off-character from what we’d already experienced.
Oh and then suddenly, she flipped back.

Likewise, I found the story slow and it wasn’t gripping like I’d hoped. The action didn’t start until midway through and then the ending was super abrupt. It left so many open questions.

I had really high hopes for this one but was left feeling quite disappointed.

Enjoyed this book by James Patterson in the long running teen series. Suitable for readers who are both young and old who like fantasy. Max and Fang and the flock are reunited with their lost daughter. The story takes you on a journey on how together they defeat their evil nemesis, McCullom. Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for letting me review this book.

Brilliant book just as exciting as all the others. I couldn't put it down
The story of what happens to the flock and little Phoenix after they emerge from the bunker keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout the book.
What a world their new world is.

Alone in the City of the Dead, where life is precarious, lives a teenage girl called Hawk and her gang of friends who are trying their best to survive .
Then chaos begins as her friends are imprisoned and she must use her wits to rescue them,. Then in a twist of fate her life is turned upside down as she meets a man who claims to be her father. Soon Hawk comes to realise she isn’t the only one who can fly.
In a whirlwind she meets a group called the flock and is told her parents are alive. They need her help to rescue them and her friends. Can she do it? Can she rescue Maximum Ride and help change the City of the Dead?
This is a welcome return to Maximum Ride and her flock, but the addition of Hawk takes the books to a new level.
For kids or adults this is a book you will devour.
James Patterson truly is at the top his game with this story. No one can produce books of this quality at such a high standard as often as James Patterson seems to.
An absolutely marvellous novel by the best in the business. I loved it!

This is great for people who enjoy dystopian thrillers. I hadn't really realised it was a follow on from a previous series, but it didn’t stop me from really enjoying and engaging with this book. I think people will go back to that series while waiting for more HAWK

This is a fast-paced book that is great for people who enjoy dystopian thrillers. I hadn't realised it was a follow on from a previous series, but it is not necessary to read those. It will probably lead people to go back to that series while they are chomping at the bits for more Hawk!

Hawk by James Patterson is a book you will find near impossible to put down once you start. From the first sentence you are pulled in to the world and Hawks life that James has so cleverly crafted. As always with James's novels, the characters and plot are so vivid you feel as if you are in the book with Hawk,

A fast paced, exciting and mysterious read that will delight fans new and old.
