A Perfect Likeness : An addictive psychological thriller set on the Australian coast

Review: A Perfect Likeness - Renee Kira - June 2020

I have always been fascinated with stories where the characters look similar and the twists of why. In A Perfect Likeness, we meet Isobel who has just moved back home after living in Melbourne for the past decade. After failed relationships and pregnancy, she has decided to live the quiet life in a house she inherited from her grandfather and the trust fund she has just come into. One morning whilst running on the beach, Isobel finds a dead body whom she later finds out is called Veronica. The eerie thing for Isobel is that she looks similar to Veronica, is this just a coincidence? As the book goes along, Isobel feels drawn to helping discover who Veronica is and what happened to her? However, will Isobel like what she finds especially when she learns that Veronica's ex-partner and father of her child is none other than her high school boyfriend Liam and that one of her old high school friends Maya was besties with Veronica? Soon Isobel's father is called in for questioning and her mum is keeping secrets - this draws Isobel and makes her more determined to find out who she is and how she is connected. This was a good fast-paced read and had a strong feeling the way the book was going to go and when the twist was discovered as I love the themes the author took - I just wish it would have gone into a bit more detail as closure for all characters involved. If you are looking for a good Aussie mystery, then check out A Perfect Likeness by Australian author Renee Kira.

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
