Woman Last Seen

Review: Woman Last Seen - Adele Parks - February 2022


Normally this author for me is often a miss, but this particular one though in parts I struggled I did find myself enjoying the book. This is possible because this is one of my favorite tropes. I have always liked reading about people living double lives as it fascinates me the amount of detail, they have to go to keep everything separated so that they don't overlap etc. Woman Last Seen starts by introducing us to Leigh who is married to Mark and has two stepsons Oli and Seb. Lately, Leigh has felt distant from her husband and her stepson Oli as six months ago, he started to turn cold towards her and called her Leigh instead of Mum. Mark says it's a phase but Leigh knows there must be a deeper reason. One day Leigh doesn't come home and turns out she has been kidnapped. Meanwhile, we learn another husband Daan Jaansen has also called to say his wife Kai is missing. Imagine the surprises when it turns out that the wives are identical and soon Woman Last Seen spills the secret that Leigh/ Kai was hiding and we also learn why Leigh's son Oli was mad at her. This was quite a twisted story as you have so many possibilities as to who the kidnapper might be as everyone has a motive and I have to admit when the kidnapper was revealed and then with the ending, it did disappoint me a little as in a way I didn't feel like I got closure with the story yet I know it is a stand-alone. Overall, though Woman Last Seen was a good read and great to see Bigamy from a Woman's perspective as normally it is the Men's view in 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
