Looking for a suspense filled teen read ?


Review: Blood On my Hands - The Thrillogy Book #2 -Todd Strasser- 2011
Wanting a novel that keeps you in suspense as we try and discover who the killer is and why the number #1 suspect is being framed ?
Blood on my hands , in many ways reminded me of plots that I have read a thousand times ( due to being such a huge reader) -though this is not to say I don't enjoy the plot in other novels . The rich, popular girl -the one everyone wants to be like is found murdered . The new girl in the group , the one with a dodgy past finds her and ends up being the number #1 suspect of murder. It soon all comes out though, that the girls acted that they really liked the popular girl but in fact -none of them liked her, they actually all hated her, so soon they all become suspects in the murder. It's a race for Callie's life as she finds out who is framing her and why ? The writer puts the emphasis on Callie and her family , which I enjoyed as Callie's older brother is in prison for trying to murder their father who is now basically a vegetable with brain damage and paralysed from the waist down. Todd Strasser, to keep up with the fact that we are coming from an era which is all digital age places throughout the novel email transcripts , facebook notes , IM's and Txt's . Blood on your hands will keep you guessing till the end as we discover, that the murder of Katherine Day-Remington was a two person job and I did guess one of the two but the second person , I would never had guessed as a killer.
After reading both "Wish You Were Dead" and "Blood on Your Hands", Im looking forward to seeing what Todd Strasser will come up with next.

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...
