                                                                  I'd Know You Anywhere: A Novel

If you are the type of person who loves her/his crime novels especially the true-crime accounts , then Laura Lippman is the author for you as her books though they are written with a fictional account, all of her novels are loosely based on true events that happened .

Review : I'd Know You Anywhere - Laura Lippman - September 2010

The cover in the picture doesn't actually give the actual cover of the book any justice as the book's cover is done with a metallic holographic look to it , maybe in a few more years our computers will be able to generate holographic book covers for us all.
I'd know you anywhere covers the story of Walter Bowman , a convicted serial killer and rapist and the last few months leading up to his time on death row. Eliza Benedict has spent a lifetime trying to escape and erase her past as the only one to not have been killed by Walter Bowman. After appearing in the society papers with her husband at same flash do , Walter contacts Eliza and from then on the story reflects between today's world as Eliza Benedict- mother of two and wife , trying to piece together -why all of a sudden Walter wants to talk to her and back to the year 1985 when 15 yr old Elizabeth Lerner was kidnapped and held for six weeks.
This novel intertwines both time periods perfectly and creatively crafted from outfits to music and to the way the societies re-acted to things.
Laura Lippman is a must-read for all fans of the mystery/thriller genre.

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...
