Survive the Night

Review: Survive the Night - Riley Sager - June 2021

Charlie is headed home to her grandmothers as her university days, for now, is over as she is riddled with guilt as her best friend and roommate Maddy was murdered and Charlie believes it is all her fault since she left her alone after they argued one night after clubbing. Looking at the rideshare board, hoping she can leave a bit early and save the money. She meets Josh who she learns is leaving early as his dad has had a stroke. Even though the two are strangers, Charlie realizes he can't be that bad, or can he? The drive back starts innocently but soon things are taking a strange turn and since Charlie has suffered movie hallucinations, she can't trust herself what is true or fantasy but part of her is certain that Josh is lying about who he is and things aren't adding up he is acting like he might be the Campus Killer - the guy who killed her best friend Maddy. Is he afraid that Charlie saw him and can identify him and now wants her dead too, or is something more sinister up his sleeve as the night takes a very twisted turn? I have to admit, I did not see this twist coming, and then when the killer was revealed, that too blew me away. This was the first time I have read a Riley Sager and with all his crazy twists and turns, it was a rollercoaster ride as it also touched on the issues of how mental health and grief can affect different people. I am now looking forward to reading more from this author.

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
