24 Hours 

Review: 24 Hours - Claire Seeber - October 2015

I'd been reading a lot of romance and new adult books lately and felt like mixing it up a little, and I was in the mood for a good mystery novel. Going through my Kindle, I came across a 2015 release "24 Hours" by Claire Seeber. The book started out intense as Laurie, and her best friend Emily were out at a spa having a girl's weekend, and her mother has taken Laurie's daughter Polly away for the weekend. All is going well until fire strikes, and one thing leads to another and Laurie wakes up in the hospital. She is alive, but Emily is dead, the thing though is that somehow their identities have been accidentally swapped and the police think that Laurie was the one to cause the fire.  Laurie now has 24 hours to find out who is trying to frame and kill her and to find her daughter Polly before it's too late. Laurie believes that it is her ex-husband Sid trying to kill her but what happens when during the 24 hours Laurie starts to think about all the people she knows and has to meet the past year and they all start looking more like suspects? We have Mal and Susie ( Leonard's separated parents), Sid and Jolie ( Sid's new girlfriend). I have to admit this book had a great lead-up but near the end when we discover what really happened that night out at the weekend spa , I was a tad disappointed at the twist as it felt like the twist had just appeared out of thin air as it had never been touched on or discussed anywhere else through the book unlike a few of the other angles it could have been.  If you are wanting a quick-paced UK mystery thriller, then check out 24 Hours by Claire Seeber and discover that anything can happen in 24 hours and how easily life can change for you in the blink of an eye.

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
