The Night Olivia Fell


Review: The Night Olivia Fell - Christina McDonald - January 2019
One decision is all it takes to end a life, for Olivia that one decision to seek out her father and his true identity led to her death that night she fell. The book starts with Olivia going on a University trip with her friends and classmates and spotting a girl that could be her twin sister. They have the same bone structure and chin and green eyes. The thing is that Olivia was told her Dad didn't have any other children and more importantly that he was dead. Olivia more curious than ever hunts down the girl and discovers her name is Kendall Montgomery. This leads to Olivia spending more time with her best friend's older brother Derek as he helps take her to Seattle to visit Kendall and try and get some answers. While Olivia and Derek spend more time together, she starts to drift away from Tyler her current boyfriend and fall in love with Derek. As Olivia's life is changing, she is also pulling away from her mother as she is feeling betrayed and hurt especially when she discovers that her father is an upcoming politician and rising star Gavin Montgomery. Why did her mother not want her knowing who her father was? Was she trying to protect her? When Olivia's mother gets the call that her daughter was in an accident, she heads to the hospital to discover her daughter on life support and the startling revelation that her daughter Olivia was pregnant.  This book goes through Abi trying to piece together what happened the night Olivia fell and in doing so unraveling and discovering some truths, secrets, and lies. The Night Olivia Fell was a good mystery, but it made me think after I finished it - that seriously everything in this book was avoidable especially her death if only she had spoken some harsh truths to her mother and not tried to hide everything and bottle it all away. Readers, sometimes our parents need the harsh truths.

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
