Are you a fan of Harlan Coben's series "Myron Bolitar" ?


Back Spin (Myron Bolitar Mysteries)

Review: Back Spin - Myron Bolitar Series - Harlan Coben - August 2009

After reading Harlan Coben's latest novel "Live Wire" , I thought that I had actually read everything by him but then this book came through returns at work, though the cover above is much nicer and interesting cover than I read and I definitely prefer this one better , I picked the book up and read the blurb and discovered that in fact I had not yet read this book. Back Spin takes us into the world of golfing and Win Lockwood . Home of the Lockwood's , Merion Golf course is the current Opens Tournament when Myron is approached by Win's Uncle to help in a problem, his grandson has been kidnapped. Though of course , Myron is a tad suspicious as things aren't adding up and this does not seem like your usual kidnapping. We soon discover , things are about to hit rock bottom and there's more than meets the eye as Win's Uncle Bucky's Son-in-law turns up murdered. The one thing that stood out for me is that unlike all the other Myron Bolitar stories, if you are a Win fan - this will end up your favourite as we delve into Win's past and his family secrets and the truth of Win and his mother's enstrangment.
Back Spin is the perfect read for any Harlan Coben and Myron Bolitar and last but not least fans of Win Lockwood .

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...
