Review: The Second Life of Amy Archer - R.S Pateman - July 2013

Have you ever picked up a book and started reading it and not knowing exactly what it's about per se or where it could head to ? That's what "The Second Life of Amy Archer" was like for me . The other thing is that I'm not normally keen on Brit Lit as it can be kind of blah and long-winded but The Second Life of Amy Archer was awesome. The novel starts off with Amy Archer disappearing one day from School when she should have come home and then jumps to Ten Years Later - the anniversary of her disappearance and yet her body still hasn't been found.  Every year Amy visits a pyschic hoping to get in contact with her daughter but nothing seems to help until she meets Ian who will help her solve the case of her disappearing daughter. Meanwhile on the night of her ten year anniversary, Amy's mother Beth Archer gets a knock on the door. It is a young mum Lily and her daughter Esme. According to the mother Esme is her daughter Amy, but how can this be and especially if Esme is the same age Amy was when she went missing . Yet she is the spitting image and has all of Amy's memories ? 
The Second Life of Amy Archer is a book you will not want to put down as you are drawn into the crazy world of Beth and what mothers will do to keep and save their children if possible.  This is one Brit read, that I would highly recommend to all to read.

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...
