Prep School Confidential (Prep School Confidential, #1)

Review: Prep School Confidential - Book #1 Prep School Series - Kara Taylor - July 2013

One of my favorite tropes are boarding school novels and I love my YA thrillers too. In Prep School Confidential by Kara Thomas, we meet Anne Dowling who was at her old school the Queen Bee, and then she ended up having to go to a boarding school as her booty call and she ended up accidentally setting the curtains in their school auditorium on fire. Now Anne has been shipped off to boarding school in Boston. At the school, she will make new friends including her new roommate Isabella aka Izzy. Things will go great for the first week and then tragedy strikes and Izzy is found dead on the school campus in the woods. Soon rumors of drugs and dodginess will start flying around and the school is only concerned with covering it up. Anne on the other hand is determined to find out who killed her new best friend and help solve the crime as she can't just sit there doing nothing like everyone else. During the investigation, Anne will uncover some dark secrets that several students and teachers would kill to have quiet. Did Izzy find out one of these secrets and that's what killed her? I enjoyed this book and we also caught a glimpse into another mystery where over 30 years ago another student named Matthew Weaver disappeared without a trace.  If you love spies like Veronica Mars with a twist of Gossip Girl Elite world, then Kara Thomas's YA series "Prep School Confidential" is the series for you. I am now looking forward to reading Books #2 and #3 in this series and seeing what directions Kara Thomas takes.

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...

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...
