Night Watch (Kendra Michaels, #4)


Review: Night Watch - Book #4 Kendra Michaels Series - Iris and Roy Johansen - October 2016


The annoying thing often about reading a series through the library is that sometimes they don't purchase the whole series and so you end up missing out on parts of the series. I was glad when I signed up to use the digital library via the Libby App as it had the books I had missed out on and I was able to go back and read them.  In this series, Kendra Michaels was born blind and then had a miracle operation that allowed her to see. Using her skills of deduction and seeing more than what "regular" people could, she has helped the FBI and police solve crimes and gotten great results. After a case that almost killed her, she is taking a break and focusing on herself and her music therapy. That is until she is visited by the Dr. who performed her miracle gift of eyesight. He seems to be in trouble and we notice after a previous doctor that was also part of the "Night Watch" project has been assassinated.  During the book, Kendra's friend goes missing and she knows now something bad has happened and so she enlists the help of Adam Lynch.  In this book we also meet PI - Jessie Mercado who we see in later books becomes good friends with Kendra and Olivia.  I have to admit, it could be because it has been a while since I read this series but it felt a bit drawn out in this particular book compared to the others and I don't know if for me Kendra has reached her end as I felt her character frustrating and annoying as it was like JFC stop being so damn independent and just accept the help as it can get a bit too much sometimes as you need to find a balance. In saying that though it was good to read another Iris and Roy Johansen book and reignited a good memory of when I met the pair of them in Atlanta at the RT2017 conference and got a picture with Iris Johansen.

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
