Presumed Dead

Review: Presumed Dead - Shirley Wells - July 2010

Wanting a thrilling mystery with lots of twists and turns ? Authoress Shirley Wells brings us Presumed Dead which I have to say I was drawn to by the cover after answering the question earlier on about whether we judge books by the cover as the red dress against the grey background stands out and it made me want to find out more and after reading that it was a mystery made it even better as I tend to go for four things when looking for a book : Author , Cover, Blurb and Genre and it goes in that order as well.
Presumed Dead takes us into the life of now-turned PI and ex-cop Dylan Scott, coming up to Christmas , he finds himself separated from his wife Bev, a small two-bedroom flat with his mother of all people and out of work. When he recieves a phone call to come to Dawson's Clough- seeing this reminded me of the TV Show "Dawson's Creek" to help Holly Champion find her mother who has been missing for thirteen years. What starts as a little asking around and investigating turns into a full-blown scale and murder case as it seems Anita wasn't that popular and a lot of the stories from that night aren't matching up.
Can Dylan find out the truth for Holly and help her find closure and will this job be the beginning of something new for Dylan and a way to change his life back around for the better ?
Find out in "Presumed Dead" by Shirley Wells.

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...
