Never Coming Home

Review: Never Coming Home - Hannah Mary McKinnon - May 2022


I was excited to read this as I had read her book You Will Remember Me and absolutely loved it but then her book Sister Dear was a miss for me.  This one though was good until it got a bit weird and slow-paced and felt messy for me. In this book, we met Lucas Forrester whose mother-in-law Nora is dying of cancer and it has been a rocky road for the family as not only did Nora's husband Gideon die in a tragic accident, her daughter Michelle - Lucas's wife was kidnapped and they are still waiting to hear whether she is dead or alive, meanwhile, Michelle's brother Travis wastes away on either drugs or alcohol or both.  Lucas plays the doting husband and son-in-law but we know the truth as we learn that Lucas hired a hitman to kill his wife leaving him with the opportunity to inherit her money and now with Nora dying - he can also get his hands on her money that she has left Michelle. Things are working out great for Lucas, that is until he starts to receive photographs in the mail with the words "I know what You Did" How can anyone know what he did when he worked out the plan to perfection? Where did he slip up? If this wasn't bad enough, a figure from Lucas's past in England back when he was somebody else has turned up in America and knows all the ins and outs about Lucas's life now and the cozy set-up and wants 1 million dollars or else Lucas and his dad are dead meat.  This book does leave you with a twisted shocking ending that surprised me with all the secrets and lies and conspiracies unraveled.  I have to admit, overall, it was a good read and for thriller fans - one of the craziest endings that just blew me away. If you are looking for a new thriller author to discover, then check out Hannah Mary McKinnon and add her to your to-read list.

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...
