Two Can Keep a Secret

Review: Two Can Keep a Secret - Karen McManus - January 2019
As soon as I saw the title of this book, I knew I wanted to read it as I had loved Karen's first book One of Us is Lying. This book also made me begin to have the Pretty Little Liars theme song running through my head and reignited happy memories. If you have read The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas, then Two Can Keep a Secret will give you flashbacks to that series as I found parts of it quite similar. In this book, twins Ellery and Ezra come to live with their grandmother as their mother Sadie is in rehab after a stint which almost killed her. This small town is haunted too and known for having missing girls. Twenty years ago, it was Sadie's twin sister Sarah, Five years ago it was Lacey and now that Ellery and Ezra have arrived in town -one of their classmates Brooke has gone missing. Are the missing girls all connected especially since they all have one thing in common - they were all part of the homecoming court. As Ellery is interested in real crime and one of her new best friends is considered the main suspect - Mal Kelly, she starts to explore all angles. Ellery better is careful though as she begins to receive some offensive threats of her own.
Meanwhile, Ellery and Ezra will also discover the true identity of their father, someone their mother has kept her lips sealed about. I did enjoy this book, and the ending did answer some questions, but not the one I wanted which was to do with Sarah's disappearance though we do get a snippet of it. Two Can Keep a Secret was a mix between The Cheerleaders by Kara Thomas and Broken Girls by Lauren Oliver. Maybe Book #3's title will be Three of Us is Dead ??

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...
