In Place of Never

Review: In a Place of Never - Julie Anne Lindsey - February 2016

One of my favourite things about being a member of Netgalley is the chance to read releases before the actual release date and some of them are amazing like In Place of Never. The book starts a bit omnious with the main character Mercy's household being like the walking dead as they move like sloths from one thing to another . We discover that it has been three years since the family lost not only a sibling but also their mother three months later. Mercy went through a rough time and blamed herself for her sister's death and started cutting. That eventually stopped but she never stopped looking for answers as she doesn't believe it was an accident or suicide. The incident took place three years ago during the Lovell Travelling Circus and her father and a couple of the townsfolk have blamed them. This has been Mercy's view until she meets Cross - one of the performers and the pair get quite close. Mercy sees this as an opportunity to discover the truth about what really went down the night she died. Though as Mercy gets closer to the truth and secrets are revealed - it seems that someone doesn't want her to find out the truth and wants what happened to Faith to stay buried and unfortunately if Mercy's not careful - she may be the next one in her family to discover what it's like to be six feet under.  If you love mysteries with a bit of romantic suspense and New Adult tales then In a Place of Never by Julie Anne Lindsey should be top of your 2016 reading lists.

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
