Hidden Lies (#2)

Review: Hidden Lies - Book #2 Hidden Series - Kristin Coley - December 2016

 
I have to admit at. First I was looking forward to this book as I loved the first one and the whole idea behind it, as those who know me would know that I loved shows like Medium and Ghost Whisperer. However, as I started this book it started to grate on my nerves as the relationship between Jake and Addie and her friendships with Connor, Jules, etc. took over the main gist of the novel. We still had the missing person story lines and the danger, but I felt that it was underplayed and that it was all look at my relationship with blah, blah, and Connor and Jules should I or shouldn't I?  This disappointed me as I wanted a good mystery novel where Addie's abilities could be used and played on a bit more, but I found that since she was with Jake properly in this book he was too protective of her and it made the story more about her relationship with Jake rather than her ability.  I am debating now whether to continue with this series if there is a book #3 released or whether to give it a miss as could it only get worse?

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
