Friends Don't Lie

Review: Friends Don't Lie - Cath Weeks - October 2019
Melissa and her two friends Rachel and Jenny have been best friends for as long as they can remember. Melissa and Jenny were inseparable as children and then Rachel came along while they were at school and joined their duo making it a triad. In their small community, these three are looked up to and have been put on a pedestal - they even have their nickname the Silkies. Everyone dreams of being one of them, but they are happy in their bubble or are they? One day, Rachel calls Melissa to set up a kayaking trip for her and Jenny's family. Melissa asks to come along, but Rachel wants to talk to Jenny alone and tells her she will make it up to her and explain everything. Melissa thinks it's odd but agrees. While out on the kayaking trip though, bad weather rolls in and some of the kayaks end up capsizing. Most get hurt, but one of them doesn't return home - Jenny. Melissa hears the news and rushes to the hospital to learn her friends are injured and dead. As the weeks will roll on through the friends will discover deep dark secrets that were hidden from one another and the cracks will start to show and make the town wonder if Melissa and Rachel are guilty and that the Silkies weren't as tight as they were made out to be. Included in Friends Don't Lie is the second storyline of Melissa's sister Hannah's death that happened over thirty years and the next door Angela's obsession with the case and Melissa. Friends Don't Lie was a good mystery novel that kept me intrigued from the very first page.

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
