After Anna 

Review: After Anna - Alex Lake - July 2015

After Anna was quite a fast paced reader as something that I enjoy every now and again is a fast paced mystery novel. The book starts off with Julia running late to pick up her daughter as she is a divorce attorney and her phone is dead , everything is just not going her way. She arrives to school 1/2 hour later to pick up her daughter to discover she is not there. Anna is five years old and has been kidnapped and drugged . This starts the story as Anna's parents aren't on the greatest terms anyway as they have been considering a separation and now with Anna missing , things are about to get even worse as Brian and Julia must face the facts and reality that their daughter may not return home. During the week , Julia is put through the ringer and painted as a bad and neglectful mother and someone is leaking her personal life and problems and taking things out of context for the world to see. Brian can't believe this is happening again as twenty years ago his father disappeared without a trace and has not been seen/heard from again ever since. One week later , Anna returns home safe and sound but their problems haven't stopped in fact for Julia it has escalated as Brian's nasty mother is trying to take Anna from her and causing Brian to fight for full custody. Soon it will be Julia's world coming crashing down around her , but who is behind it all ? Who wants to see her destroyed or even worst dead ? In parts of this book, I did have my suspicions on who was behind certain attacks but in terms of Anna's kidnapper - I didn't see that coming.
After Anna if you love quick mysteries and ones that get you hooked from the very first page, then Alex Lake is one UK author that you will need to add to your must read list today.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
