The Darkest Web (Allison Barton, #2)


Review: The Darkest Web - Book #2 Allison Barton Series - Kristin Wright - April 2022

I enjoyed Kristin Wright's debut novel in this series and so when I saw the second book come up on Netgalley, I knew I had to read it and it was just as good as the first book. The Darkest Web introduces us to lawyer Jane Knudsen who has come in and found her boss's body dead on his floor. She knows how it looks and is afraid she would be pinpointed as the number one suspect. Jane contacts one of her old roommates from law school, Allison Barton. Allison hasn't seen or heard from Jane since law school and the pair reunite. Allison will soon learn that Jane is still a beauty but that her beauty comes with a price and that it is this that makes her the prime suspect. At school, Jane was always private and now Allison is about to discover why as she delves into Jane's background. I felt for Jane and it now too has given me a different perspective on people that are "naturally beautiful" without effort and how they wish they could be known for more than just their looks. As the story goes on, we learn that Jane's boss had lots of enemies - far and wide and any one of them is more than capable of murder. I did enjoy this story as I love how the cases that Allison takes are more intricate and on a personal level. What I hated was freaking Karen and then Libby and her whining and playing the parents against each other and then when Allison's partner wanted to be together and include Libby, she acted like he was a weirdo. It's like I know you are only 6 years old Libby but make up your mind and stop acting like a spoiled brat or Allison stop giving your daughter all the power - you are the parent/mother. I am now looking forward to Book #3 and seeing what other cases that author Kristin Wright can come up with in future books.

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
