She's Not There

Review : She's Not There - Joy Fielding - February 2016

As a mystery and thriller lover  and the fact I have read so many of them, some of them you pick up are duds but others are amazing. Though the cover was a bit of a turn-off for me as wasn't keen on the colour scheme of a vibrant blue and bright yellow. I loved She's Not There by Joy Fielding . It was amazing and capturing at the time . The book starts off in the present when Caroline gets a phone call from a girl called Lili who believes she is actually her daughter Samantha. The book then jumps back fifteen years in the past, when Caroline still had a loving family and was a mum to two beautiful girls Samantha and Michelle and happily married to Hunter. It was their wedding anniversary and they are off on a family trip to a hotel resort in Mexico. During the end of their trip , Caroline and Hunter arrive back at their hotel suite and discover that Samantha isn't in her crib - She's Not There. What follows next will be fifteen years of people pointing at Caroline thinking she murdered her daughter and that it was her fault , her husband left her for a much younger wife and now has two children of his own and her daughter Michelle barely speaks to her without an argument occuring. One phone call though , will change everything as the event and it's memories come spiralling back and Caroline's hope that her daughter is still alive is re-ignited. Is Lili really the missing baby called Samantha - now at 17 years old ? What happened fifteen years ago and where has she been all this time ? She's Not There is the perfect read for all those fans of the book "The Face on the Milk Carton" and the MTV show "Finding Carter". 
This is one mystery/thriller book that I recommend everyone should read.

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
