Walk on the Wild Side: The Reinvention of Violet Monte

Review: Walk on the Wild Side - Suzie Jay - April 2015

Violet Monte got married young and had a child, she dreamed of living the perfect life with her husband until of course she found him in bed with a younger woman. This was the start of the age-old classic reinvention type story for Violet. During this book Violet , tries to re-discover her place in this world in between telling her nieces and nephews tales of her revenge plans as bedtime stories. Needing to get away, Violet heads to stay with her son David who works as a police officer in homicide. Noticing David is living out of a suitcase , Violet does some investigating of her own and learns that David can only settle down once a serial killer has been caught. Wanting to help on the sly, Violet does her own detecting and finds out that the killer has been hiding out in the local florist shop. During this time also Violet meets John and begins a new relationship. Is Violet ready to let go of her past and move on and settle in with John or during her re-invention has she turned herself into a crazy woman who won't let her mind settle until she discovers what she wants to do with the rest of her life ?  This book was very fluffy and the writing style reminded me of Tracie Banister's book "Twin Piques" whereas like Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series - Walk on the Wild Side had her busy numerous plot strands.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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
