Review: The Perfect Child - Lucinda Berry - March 2019

You know how there are books that people just seem to latch onto and rave about and it's all you ever see talked about? One of those books that I had seen was The Perfect Child by Lucinda Berry. It is one I have had for a wee while and again kept meaning to read but after seeing it everywhere, I decided to push it to the top and read it. The book starts with a punch as we meet Piper who is a social worker talking to the police about a tragedy that occurred with someone called the Bauers and how she never saw it coming. As I try not to read reviews, I was going in this blind but knew a lot of people had raved about it. The scene then jumps to Hannah and Christopher Bauer who are both hospital workers and trying for a baby, their current solution is international adoption. That night, a little girl is brought into ED with extensive injuries and drenched in blood, she has also been starved and neglected badly. Later we find out more about the girl known as Janie and her situation. Christopher has taken a real shine to the girl and talks his wife into adopting her. The Bauers take her home and all seems to be going well until strange things start happening and Hannah realizes that Janie might not be this innocent little cherub everyone thinks she is.  Things take a turn for the worse when Hannah falls pregnant and has a son called Cole and it looks like Janie will do anything and I mean ANYTHING to have Christopher all to herself even kill. The Perfect Child is a past/present novel and a fast-paced thriller that reminded me slightly of The Omen and The Exorcist but not as Horror-like. I am now looking forward to reading more of Lucinda Berry's thrillers.

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
