Lies Like Poison

Review: Lies Like Poison - Chelsea Pitcher - November 2020


Years ago there were three best friends and a stepsister - Poppy, Raven, Belladonna, and Lily. Poppy and Bella both cared deeply for their friend Raven and then when tragedy struck and he lost his mother, they thought he would be happy - that was until he got an evil stepmother Evelyn and then a stepsister Lily. The stepsister was a little odd but not as bad as Raven's stepmother whom Poppy and Bella were convinced she was abusing and trying to get Raven to kill himself. During this time, the three girls made a recipe for the perfect murder - a petal of poppy, a petal of belladonna, and a petal of a lily.  An accident occurred and one of the three got cold feet and then the plan fell apart and so did their friendship. Now three years later, Evelyn is found murdered and the cause is a petal of Belladonna in her tea and the recipe left sitting on the kitchen counter. Raven is back and everything is messed up as Bella is sitting in a cell accused of the murder which of course she is innocent, but if Bella didn't do it and only the group of friends knew about the recipe and the MO - who killed Evelyn and setting Bella up to take the fall? What other secrets will be revealed in the group of friends as the murder investigation will unravel other secrets and truths the friends have been trying to keep close to their chests. Lies Like Poison by Chelsea Pitcher was a great YA thriller filled with lots of twists and turns and an easy read and be surprised when the "real" killer is revealed like I was.

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...
