Killing Me Softly

Review: Killing Me Softly - Kathryn R. Biel - July 2015

When picking a book to read , there are often a few personal factors involved from whether it be the title, cover, author or in this case even the release date can be a factor. For me Killing Me Softly was decided by the fact that I had previously enjoyed one of the author's books and the second thing was that this book was actually released on my birthday earlier this year. Killing Me Softly, though it has an ominous feel about it with the title whether it be the idea of Killing someone softly or the famous song I had expected a murder mystery type book. Then with it being part of the CLP website, I figured it would have to be a little bit chicklit-ish which led this story to being more of a romantic comedy rather than a romantic suspense. The main character Sadie has premonitions of people's deaths and it gets to a worrisome point in the book where she actually believes that it's her own doing especially after a local boy dies a day after she was talking about him. Then she thinks her boyfriend Robin not Rob will propose but he turns out to be a wimp and they end up splitting, though really with a name like Robin for a guy - what did you expect . Sadie will get a few more romantic choices down the track with Max and Fitzy, though you will have to read to see which one she ends up with.  Killing Me Softly had a lot of fun LOL moments as well as it's ups and downs with deaths and break-ups. If you are one of those readers, that loves going into detail about the characters and learning all about them - getting right in there with the gritty nitty bits , then you will enjoy Killing Me Softly as Kathryn is big on character description which some people love and enjoy, unfortunately though for me -I am more of a fast paced reader , so this part slowed down the story for me. Other than that, Killing Me Softly if you love romantic comedies and books where the characters have abilites - then this is the read for you.

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
