Her Second Death (Bree Taggert #0.5)

Review: Her Second Death - Book # 0.5 Bree Taggert Series - Melinda Leigh - December 2021


When I was asked to read and review this new book by Melinda Leigh, I wasn't sure whether it would be a quick read or a longer book, and turned out it was a novella story. Her Second Death is the introduction to Bree Taggert joining the Police force and introducing us to her new partner Dana Romero. They have been called to a scene of a drug buy gone wrong and when they notify the next of kin, they learn the daughter has also disappeared. The case gets a bit more complicated when they discover that the deceased's daughter Lena is a 5-year-old non-verbal autistic and now the race is on to not only solve Tyson's murder but also find Lena. This case gives Bree flashbacks to her childhood when she was around the same age and suffered a similar tragedy. As Her Second Death was a novella/ amazon short story it was a very quick read and only took about 30 mins to read as I read it in one sitting on my lunch break.
If you love murder mysteries and crime novels, then you will love Melinda Leigh as she is one of my favorite female mystery writers.

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
