One Year Gone


Review: One Year Gone - Avery Bishop - August 2021

One of my favourite things about being a book reviewer is that we get the chance to read books before they are out in the public's view and I was in the mood for a bit of an edgy mystery read after reading a handful of chick-lit/ romances lately. One Year Gone by Avery Bishop isn't one of those happy-go-lucky mystery reads that end in sunshine and roses, so if you pick this one up expecting a happy reunion at the end - then put it back down. One Year Gone is a rocky road type of reading which will have you feeling like you just jumped on a rollercoaster filled with twists and turns and loopy-loos. The book starts with Jess receiving text messages one night from her daughter asking for help. This would have been an ordinary night but for Jess - this is the first time she has heard from her daughter in one year. A year ago, her daughter Bronwyn vanished into thin air and no-one has heard or seen her since. The texts claim that she has been kidnapped by someone in law enforcement. As the book goes along, Jess doesn't know who to trust which as the story progresses and comes to an end we can see why and the ending of this book shocked the heck out of me. I didn't see this ending coming at all as secrets and lies all unravelled. The story is told in multiple POVs from Jess and Bronwyn's - before the incident and after the incident. This was the first book I had read from Avery Bishop, so I am looking forward to checking out her other title "Girl Gone Mad". If readers are looking for a good edgy NA thriller that will keep you glued to the edge of your seat, then One Year Gone by Avery Bishop is the book for you. One Year Gone by Avery Bishop is going into my knowledge bank for one of those books as one of the best OMFG endings.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
