One (Count to Ten #1)

Review: One - Book #1 Count to Ten Series - Jane Blythe - January 2016

Imagine your whole family has been slaughtered and you wake up to find yourself in handcuffs and accused of the crime, that is what happened to Annabelle Englewood. Her family has been brutally murdered.  During the book, a few more families will have this happen to them and in each case - one member of the family will be left alive while the others suffered tremendously. Jane Blythe's book is not one for the faint-hearted, and if you are looking for a cozy mystery, then this isn't for you. The murders in this book are quite horrific and graphical. In this book, it's a race against the time as Detective Romeo Xavier Montague is falling for Annabelle and if he's not careful, then he may lose her to the killer as she was a prize for him. This book kept me guessing until the end as it had two potential killers and when the real one was revealed, I have to admit I didn't see that coming. If you are looking for an excellent gruesome mystery series to begin, then check out Book #1 of the Count to Ten Series. The other good thing about this series is that each book is only 12-15 chapters which makes it a quick read and can be read as a stand-alone story.

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...
