Tracks of Her Tears (Rogue Winter, #1)

Review: Tracks of Her Tears - Book #1 Rogue River Series - Melinda Leigh - November 2015
For those who read my book reviews, you will know that one of my favorite female mystery authors is Melinda Leigh. What I enjoy about her books is that often there is a crossover of characters. In Rogue River Book #1 we are reunited with Seth and his wife Carly and their daughter Brianna. This book is set after the fire of the O"Rourke Resort and Seth and Carly have been busy in counseling as they work hard to reconcile their marriage. Carly's mother Pat is now coming up to her first Christmas without her husband Bill - whom we know from past novels was killed to cover up a drug operation in the small town of Rogue River. Carly's sister Stevie is now engaged to Officer Zane and her older brother James is the Mayor. The snow is falling and some punks have uncovered a body that Seth is called out too. He turns the body over and to his shock discovers that it is the girlfriend of Carly's younger brother Bruce.  Thus sets the tone for most of the book as the town tries not only to find out what happened to Amber but also no-one has seen or heard from Bruce and he was the last person to see Amber alive or was he - so the other storyline is trying to track down Bruce.  I did enjoy this book but had hoped when the killer was revealed that it would have packed more of a punch as it fell a bit flat near the ending of Tracks of Her Tears. If you are looking for a Christmas time Murder Mystery and a quick read while you are locked inside during this nationwide lockdown we are having, then check out Melinda Leigh's Tracks of Her Tears - Book #1 in the Rogue River Series today.

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...
