Review: 22 Seconds - Book #22 Women's Murder Club Series - James Paterson and Maxine Paetro - May 2022

James Patterson is one of those authors that you either love or hate, for me, I have been reading this particular series since I was about 15-16 years old as I picked it up from a market in Matamata when I was staying with my Nana - a copy of 2nd Chance and from that day, I have been forever following James Patterson and his books. I have to admit though that this one, like the last couple, felt a bit too busy in plots for my liking and I got about halfway and then had to persevere to finish the rest of the story. I did find the main storyline of guns and gun laws interesting especially with the current state of the mass shootings in the US and what has been happening. I did however find Claire's storyline as she went to consult on a case unnecessary as it really didn't have any relevance to the story and it just felt like it was chucked in because they needed to feature her a bit more sadly and in doing so, they also quickly rushed that storyline as well and it was over in a couple of chapters and forgotten about. In saying that I did love the family life of Joe and Lindsay and loved seeing how Julie is getting bigger - especially with her turning four in this book and I liked the small flashback to the previous book with the bomb that went off at the Science Museum when Joe and Lindsay were celebrating their anniversary. Overall, this wasn't a favorite but it did get me wondering whether we are nearing the end of the Women's Murder Club as it has been 22 books now and eventually all series must come to an end.

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
