Review: Copycat - Hannah Jayne - July 2018


One of my YA thriller authors that I have always seemed to enjoy reading is Hannah Jayne and so when I was scrolling through my kindle and saw that I had one of hers that I hadn't read, I was excited, and then when I read the blurb and discovered that the main female lead Addie was a book blogger, bookstagrammer and writer and loved mysteries - I just knew I had to read it as Addie's character was similar to myself and in a way who I aim to be like except for well, the part where she finds herself living in a real-life Gap Lake Mystery novel.  But I'm jumping ahead of myself. Addie's favorite author is the mysterious RJ Rosen - author of the popular teen series Gap Lake Mysteries. Addie writes Gap Lake fan fiction and has a massive following of over a million fans and writes for the school newspaper. RJ Rosen and his books are her worlds. Addie's story begins when she gets an email from RJ Rosen asking her to be part of his new book launch, she is in heaven as I would be too. However, things start getting strange when she posts a snippet of his new upcoming story, and the next day she finds one of her classmates Lydia dead. It's life imitating art, the thing though is she is certain the person messaging her as RJ Rosen is behind it, but what will happen when more people are hurt and no one believes her and she looks like the girl who cried wolf? Will it take hurting those the closest to her for the world to take notice? I have to admit though, I was a little disappointed with the ending and when the killer, etc was revealed as part of it I understood with revenge but the other half just fell flat for me and felt unrealistic which was a shame. I also hated the fact that no one was listening to Addie and treated her as if she was a 5-year-old with her head in the clouds and then when they did listen to her, they treated her like the villain just because she loved mysteries and dark fiction.  Overall, Copycat was an average read - not my favorite of Hannah Jayne's but still an enjoyable YA Thriller that reminded me similar of Misery by Stephen King and Eyes of the Forest by April Henry.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
