Engagement and Espionage (Solving for Pie: Cletus and Jenn Mysteries Series, #1)

Review: Engagement and Espionage - Book #1 Solving For Pie - Cletus and Jenn Series - Penny Reid - July 2020
As soon as this book landed on my kindle, I was so excited that I started reading it. People who read my blog will know that when it comes to Penny Reid's books, she is one of my favorite authors and out of the Winston Brothers - Cletus was my favorite. So when I saw that he and Jenn had their cozy mystery series coming, I have been sitting on the edge f my seat patiently waiting for it to arrive on my Kindle. I have to say that I enjoyed this but felt the reasoning behind everything that happened fell a bit flat. However as I wasn't in this book for the mystery aspect but for the fact that I was reunited with Cletus and Jenn and the rest of the Green Valley crowd, I was able to overlook the fact that the mystery aspect conclusion wasn't as great as it could be. Without giving the plot away too much, Engagement and Espionage have someone out to get Jenn and sabotage Donner Bakery as her supplies are being cut off. As Cletus will do absolutely anything for Jenn, we read as the pair don their detective hats and try and solve Green Valley's mysteries. In conclusion, if you are wanting to read this book on the mystery alone, it may fall flat but if you are reading it like me for the interaction of Cletus, Jenn, and the rest of the Winston Brothers crew then you will love it.  I am now looking forward to reading more in the Solving for Pie cozy mystery series and seeing what other adventures Cletus and Jenn will get up too.

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
