Reading yet again

I have finished the James Patterson book at last, in fact I have finished two of his books both in the same series.

I know how come I have managed to read two books so fast?

I think it's down to the fact that both books were written by Maxine Paetro 1st and then James then edits them and adds his bits to the story.

If I am wrong then the way the books with Maxine as the second author reads are totally different when the book is just written by James Patterson.

Any way the book that I have just read are 7th Heaven and 8th Confession both are credited as being written by James Patterson and Maxine Paetro, both were a good read in that the stories were good and the main characters world and lives changed during the course of the books.
