-


Today's book is a genre that I like to explore and read every now and again , it is also a genre that in the past years I have read many books, but of course with the way books are moving and working in a library, every now and again you will receive an influx of one particular topic, genre etc. Today's book falls into the genre of Psychological Thriller.

Lasting Damage. Sophie Hannah

Review: Lasting Damage - Sophie Hannah- February 2011

They say with scars they can last a long time, physical scars not so much as they can always heal through time but emotional scars can cut you deep and leave you mentally insane or much worse .
Connie Bowskill, ever since leaving Cambridge with her husband Kit seven years ago, she has been obsessed over what if's and of course it is causing a divide in her family affairs. One morning at approx 1.15am - Connie heads to a property website and finds a listing for a Cambridge address - 11 Bentley Grove, an address that for the past 6 months she has been obsessed with. Deciding to take a virtual tour of the property, Connie clicks a button but when she reaches the lounge viewing she is about to get the fright of her life as staring back at her from the computer screen is a dead body of a woman. Connie , not knowing what to do next, rushes to get her husband but of course when he arrives back -the body on the screen is nowhere to be seen . Has marriage finally caught up to these two and their differences starting to show in the cracks ? Does Connie actually know the real Kit and what happens when she discovers a much scarier truth about her husband than she ever imagined and what really went on in Cambridge just before they left all those years ago ?
Another marriage is on the rocks, returning from their honeymoon - Charlie and Simon are both wondering whether they should have got married as the honeymoon is supposed to be their happiest times ,so why are they both in moods and not trusting each other and is Charlie holding on tight to something as she ponders whether to take Simon's surname ?
We once again join Simon, Charlie , Sam as they try to solve the murder of the unidentified woman and discover a web of tangled deciets strung behind .
As always Lasting Damage proves to be another successful pyschological thriller by Sophie Hannah and fans of Michael Robothams and Karen Robards will enjoy books by Sophie Hannah.

Stay Tuned Readers as I bring at a later date an Interview with UK Author Sophie Hannah.

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.

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
