The Winter Sister

Review: The Winter Sister - Megan Collins - February 2019
Sylvie had always wondered who killed her sister as sixteen years ago when Sylvie was younger. Her sister Persephone left with her boyfriend and never returned home. Later her body was found. The police despite the family's pushings could never find any leads, and her case went on unsolved. That was until sixteen years later, Sylvie returns home as her mother is dying and her aunt is busy with her new grandchild.  Being back home with her mother stirs up old memories of her sister Persephone. When Sylvie runs into Ben - her sister's boyfriend at the time of her disappearance and the last supposedly to see her alive. It sparks up Sylvie's passion for finally finding out the truth about what happened to Persephone that night. By doing so, Sylvie will also unravel the facts about Persephone's father and the reason why on the 15th of every month growing up her mother would lock herself in her bedroom and have what the girls called her "dark days." I did like the twists that The Winter Sister took and I have to admit I did not see that ending coming when it was revealed who the killer was. I quite enjoyed this book as I love the past/present stories where unsolved murder cases get solved years later.

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...
