Evidence Not Seen (Love Is #9)


Review: Evidence Not Seen - Book #9 Love Is Series - Charlene Havel - July 2016

For me, I wanted to enjoy this book, and I did finish it which is obviously why I am writing a review, but it wasn't 100% awesome. It's not very often that books leave me feeling incomplete but Evidence Not Seen did just that. Now I will let you know, that since I had gotten this from Netgalley. All I had was the title and author; I didn't have a cover. So I didn't realize it was a Christian fiction book. With the title, I had assumed that it was going to be a mystery and it started off that way with the main character's father coming up to the end of his 27-year prison sentence. Jeff Galloway spent his life becoming a lawyer and tried looking into his father's sentence as things didn't add up. The other thing is that this book is set in 1979 which I didn't know. I thought it would be a contemporary tale. This book as it seems is more about the romance blossoming between Jeff and Melanie and Jeff learning to forgive his father's past transgressions. What frustrated me about Evidence Not Seen was that I had hoped for some closure about his father's sentence and why he was sent to jail for stealing when obviously he didn't in the first place as Jeff did visit the original detective on the case but all we were given was riddles. Personally, I felt that Evidence Not Seen left readers with too many unanswered questions and the book just finishes like that leaving us readers to go WTF did I just read. Evidence Not Seen shows readers that like anything, not every book published bloggers will love and rave about.

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
