Review: The Shadow Tracer - Meg Gardiner - June 2013

The Shadow Tracer is one of those rare mystery suspense novels that pull you in from the very first page as we read about a young women running away from a burning house in the snow with a little baby. Then the novel jumps five years and we meet Sarah Keller - who works as a skip tracer, tracing those who are needed for trials or those who have skipped/tried to skip the country. While out on the job, Sarah is phoned as her five year old daughter Zoe has been in a school bus accident. Sarah races to the hospital , only to discover that this is the way down as the doctors after performing an X-ray have discovered that Zoe was RFID and that Sarah is not Zoe's mother.  Readers, soon see Zoe and Sarah along with help from friends along the journey start to go on the run and we discover who Zoe's mother is and why she was radio-chipped and why Sarah took Zoe as her own daughter to protect her. Word has gotten out that Zoe is alive and now not only the FBI are on Sarah's trail but also a Cult run by a family known as the "Worthes" as Zoe's father Nolan was one of the Elder's sons and they want Zoe to join the family. 
Can Sarah keep herself and Zoe alive and safe ? Who can they trust as everyone they encounter seems to hold their own agenda ? 
A fast-paced thriller , The Shadow Tracer is one book that reader's will not be able to put down and if you are like me , you will want to read it all in one sitting.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
