Review: The Phoenix Candidate - Books #1-4 Grace Colton Series - Heidi Joy Tretheway - January 2015

One of my favourite authors is Heidi Joy Tretheway, I fell in love with her books after reading Tattoo Thief and througholy enjoying it. The other topic that I enjoy reading in books is politics and The Phoenix Candidate had the perfect mix of politics and romance. This book starts with Grace Colton on a night out with her friends, when she spots a handsome stranger and the two end up having a one night stand. Only for Grace to discover that he is a political consultant working for Shep Conover who is interested in having Grace as his backing which means if he wins the presidential race , she will become Vice President. A long way from being the Congresswoman representing Oregon. In this book, we learn that Grace lost her family in a tragic shooting accident in the local mall where only three died. The Phoenix Candidate follows Grace on her way to becoming a possible VP , keeping up appearances and also the personal side of a maybe relationship with Jared - a man whom kissing is the forbidden thing and the path he won't cross. What will happen when Grace finds out about Jared's past and when she is also targeted and asked to stand by Aaron Darrow - the other person running against Shep Conover - whom will she pick ? The Phoenix Candidate is also a book which shows readers the nasty side of Politics and what happens when you are strong and stand for what is right and how easy one can be swayed if the right offer comes along.
The Phoenix Candidate is also being offered as a Serial of four parts.

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...

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...
