What would you do if your child was suspected of a crime ?
Review : Gods and Fathers - James LePore - February 2012
Have you ever loved someone so much that you were willing to do all that you can in your power and more to protect them ?
Reading Gods and Fathers reminded me of the books by James Scott Bell and the episode of Veronica Mars and more currently The Lying Game . What would you do if your child was accused and suspected of murder ? Would you do everything in your power to prove their innocence ? The issue of this has shown up in a few books and quite a few TV episodes. It's a tough question.
In Gods and Fathers we meet Matt DeMarco , he is a well-known and respected lawyer , he has built up a reputation . The only downside is that he is divorced and his wife took their son with her. Estranged from his family , he gets on with burying himself in his job. We are presented with a case of a brother killung his sister in what was called "an Honor Killing". The case seemed pretty straight-forward until events change and Matt discovers that is son Michael has now been suspected of Murder , Did he do it or has he been framed ?
A thrilling and fast-paced story which sees Matt dig deeper into the case and as witnesses etc start turning up dead , does somebody want Michael to admit to the murder ? Are they covering up something bigger?
Gods and Fathers is a thrilling and raw ride as we read the lengths that a parent will go to save their child , a father's unconditional love.

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...
