Review: What Happened to Coco ? - VB Furlong - December 2021


First off this book drew me in with its amazing floral cover as I just loved the composition of it all. The second was the theme of YA Thriller and the third was that it was set in a boarding school academy environment which of course is one of my favorite tropes to read about. This book starts with Ella waking up and realizing that her friend Coco isn't in her bed. This is strange but Ella thinks she is staying with her boyfriend Harrison. Soon Ella and three of her friends will discover that this morning their life will change forever when they discover that Coco is missing and no one knows where she is. Everyone else thinks she will turn up but Ella, Conrad, Harrison, and Bea know that something is truly wrong as Coco wouldn't leave without her phone, etc. Each part in this book is told from one of the friend's POVs as they each are hiding secrets and feel that these secrets had a part in the disappearance of Coco or led to it. What happened though is much more sinister and had nothing to do with the friends but other people in the school. I have to admit, I did enjoy the mystery aspect and though it was a bit cliched as I have read so many other boarding school stories with a similar theme and turnout, it was a steady read. One of the things that frustrated me was the fact that each of the foursomes had Coco on this pedestal of greatness when she came across as a self-absorbed spoilt brat and someone who wanted to do things her way or not at all.  Overall, this was a slower-paced novel, it is still a fun YA thriller to read if you love boarding school novels and vanishing students.

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
