Review: Verity - Colleen Hoover - December 2018
You know how you have those books that you get when they first release and then it takes you a while to get around to reading it, for me that was Verity by Colleen Hoover. Now I have read almost all of Colleen's books minus a couple, that I have and just haven't gotten around to it. Now, this particular book, I had heard a lot about, and readers had said it was different from her previous and scary. As I opened it and started reading it, I could see how it was different from her prior work, and I'm not sure if it was intentional as it was dedicated to Taryn Fisher, but I could see Verity being heavily influenced as it was similar to her work. The book starts with Lowen having a chance meeting with Jeremy ( I do have to admit I imagined Jeremy Sisto in my head for this character), then learns he is the husband of a famous writer - Verity Crawford who is braindead. Lowen is given the opportunity to finish her books for her. When she arrives, she is clearing the office and finds an unpublished memoir filled with dark secrets and confessions. During this time, Lowen swears Verity is playing on her injuries, but she is the one that looks like she is cray cray. Verity had a shocking ending which does leave options for the reader to think about. As a writer and thriller lover, I did enjoy this book, but I have to admit I did feel that it had been hyped up a bit too much as someone who's read a hell of a lot of thrillers. If you are wanting an intense ride with a bit of thrill or have read Taryn Fisher's book Mudvein, then you will enjoy Verity by Colleen Hoover.

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
