Countdown to Killing Kurtis


Review: Countdown to Killing Kurtis - Lauren Rowe - June 2015

Growing up Charlene was always her daddy's girl and was told she was amazing and could do wonders, that she was the prettiest and smartest girl in the world. As she got older, Charlene planned to go to Hollywood and become a famous actress like Marilyn Monroe. It even helped that she looked similar to Monroe. When Charlene was in her teens, her dad left, and Charlene had a new step-daddy, that was until one night she snapped. Put into foster care, Charlene meet a guy who would become her best friend and boyfriend. Charlene then went to Hollywood and met Kurtis and later married him. Though of course, he was like any sleazy movie producer full of promises but no follow through, he also was a bit of a mean drunk. Charlene decided that Kurtis must pay and therefore decided that in one year Kurtis would be dead as nobody double crosses Charlie Wilber's daughter.  Countdown to Killing Kurtis had a dark fiction feel but was more of a romantic suspense novel with a bit of a killer twist to the characters. Countdown to Killing Kurtis by Lauren Rowe was an interesting read and perfect if you are in the mood for a Dark Romantic Suspense novel.

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...
