The Dead List

Review: The Dead List - Jennifer L. Armentrout - April 2017
As a fan of mystery novels, this one intrigued me as the cover was quite eye-catching. The Dead List had a good beginning and then ended up with a twist that was complicated and simple at the same time. I do have to admit, I had an idea of the ending coming but was still surprised at parts of the book. The Dead List read like a screenplay of the revenge movies like Valentine and Urban Legend 3. In The Dead List, it starts with Ella being attacked at a party and getting away thanks to an old friend who has returned home. When then learn that one of their female classmates was kidnapped and has disappeared and her body has not been found. The book then jumps to the past about an incident that happened in Ella's life with her three best guy friends Jensen, Graham and Penn. As more Classmates start to disappear and random objects and threatening notes appear it seems that someone has a kill list or as Jennifer L. Armentrout has called it "The Dead List." Why are Ella's classmates being killed /attacked and who wants them dead? The Dead List was more YA than New Adult and a clean murder mystery novel compared to the more gruesome ones that we often think of when we hear the words "Murder Mystery" and Dead.

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...
