Looking for a new fun mystery teen series to read ? Are you a fan of Pretty Little Liars ?


The Lying Game
Review: The Lying Game - Sara Shepard- December 2010
As a fan of the hit series Pretty Little Liars by Sara Shepard, when I saw that she had released a new series called "The Lying Game", I knew I just had to read it and that when I did I would enjoy it and being the person I am I now can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the series as I LOVED IT.
For those who have read Pretty Little Liars , you know what Sara's writing style is like with the whole "A" issue , in The Lying Game we meet foster girl Emma who has been kicked out of her latest foster home and when she discovers a girl who looks identical to her named Sutton living in Tuscon, Arizona , she sends her a message on facebook and when she recieves a reply back - she goes out to meet her , imagine the reunion of two long-lost siblings. However, this is where things get weird, as Sutton hasn't really appeared- throughout the novel she is like a ghost - does this mean she is dead and somebody wants Emma to replace her for now ?
The novel then goes on to surround a game known at the start only as "The L Game" , Emma finally discovers that it stands for The Lying Game - which is a game that Sutton created where the girls play pranks on others and the most dangerous and worst the pranks are , the higher points they score.
Was Sutton part of a prank gone wrong or did somebody really want her dead ? Emma soon discovers that the person who may have killed her is in her immediate group of friends - this part of the novel reminded me of a mix between Rosebush by Michelle Jaffee and Blood on my hands by Todd Strasser.
Can Emma continue playing the L Game in order to find out what happened to Sutton or will the same person who may have killed Sutton have Emma as their next victim ?
Find out in this awesome new teenage series brought to you by Pretty Little Liars extraordinaire Sara Shepard.

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...
