The Girl in Kellers Way

Review: The Girl In Keller's Way - Megan Goldin - May 2017

After reading both of Megan's later books The Night Swim and the Escape Room, I decided to go back to her debut novel "The Girl in Keller's Way". Like her later books, this one had all the twists and turns and the psychological angle. It was also easier to spot that this was her first novel and I have to admit she has improved quite a lot from this book to The Night Swim and really grown into her writing and found her footing. This book starts with a couple Julie and her professor husband Matt. Julie is a stepmother to their daughter and lives constantly in the shadow of Matt's previous wife Laura who we learn was killed years earlier. The book starts with her going running and needing to clear her head, that is until on her trip she is almost hit by a car that then swerves and crashes. The guy before he dies, tells her to run away as fast as she can and that she is in danger. Shaken, Julie arrives home and tells her husband only for him to shrug it off as PTSD and a false memory as she was hit earlier in the month and her dog Roxy got the brunt of it and died. This starts the downfall of Julie as we watch her husband trying to pump her with medicine and change her perception of things. The second storyline is that another body has been found in Keller's way and it turns out to be Laura - someone did a good job of trying to keep her buried. What happens though when Matt's perfect life starts to crack and we discover he isn't as good as he exudes? Will Julie's life be next to be extinguished or will Matt have to change up his way to getting rid of his second wife? Find out more in Australian Author Megan Goldin's debut novel "The Girl in Keller's Way.

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...
