The Kids May Be Bad, But They Don't Deserve to Die.....

-


Something that I aim to do is provide readers with a variety of different genres , hence why their is such a mixed bunch reviewed on "The Phantom Paragrapher". For me , It's always fun discovering new authors but at the same time continuing to have your favourites and it's like Christmas everytime they release a new read for you to add to your to-read list.
Today's review is Lisa Jackson's latest book "Without Mercy" -2010

For half-sisters Jules and Shay the death of their dad has affected them in different ways . For Jules ,she is plagued by re-anactments of her father's death everytime she closes her eyes and Shay has a police record for drugs, theft and vandalism. When Shay is caught on her latest expedition and finds herself in front of a judge, the verdict reads Juvie or attend the Blue Rock Academy. This part reminded me of the movie "Stick It". Shay is then shipped off to the Blue Rock Academy, however all is not well at the Academy as a girl went missing and has not been found. Worried for Shay's safety , Jules applies undercover as the new history teacher. At the same time , another girl is murdered and one is missing and Shay is the number one suspect. Can Jules find the killer before it attacks the next girl and what is up with the odd teachers ? . In Without Mercy, we also find the truth of what really happened when Jules and Shay's father Rip was stabbed ?.
As always , Lisa Jackson lives up to her status as a fast-paced thriller writer as this is one book that you will not want to put down until you have devoured and found out who the killer is in the last couple of chapters.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
