Review: Guilt by Degrees - Book #2 Rachel Knight Series- Marcia Clark-May 2012
I love my mysteries and have always had a soft spot for legal thrillers especially ones that present a close team and characters that you can relate to. In a way, the Rachel Knight series reminds me of a cross between Rizzolli and Isles series by Tess Gerritsen and the Bernie Rosato series by Lisa Scottoline. I first read Marcia Clark's first novel "Guilt by Association" and loved her writing style and the intrigue that she kept up and when I saw that she had released a new one , I just had to read it and like her first novel it was exciting.
Guilt by Degrees starts off with a homeless man being killed , stabbed and what looks like an open/shut case as no-one cares for the homeless but something nags at Rachel - member of the Special Trials Unit and she takes the case on. As Rachel with the help of legal friends Toni and Bailey, they start to unravel the case and discover that there is more to the case than just a case of a simple homeless stabbing. It seems that the case is related to an unsolved murder that took place two years ago, a case that involved a cop being chopped to bits and then from there , a case of a hit and run victim prior. If this wasn't enough work for Rachel, she has her new boyfriend to worry about as he has been looking into her past and has discovered the truth about Rachel's older sister Romy and has evidence that she may still be alive or that she wasn't killed immediately .
The only thing that annoyed me about the book was the way the Killer's sentence was left open.
For more intense thrills and twists and turns, crack open "Guilt by Degrees" by Marcia Clark.

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
