Review: Like a Sister - Kellye Garrett - March 2022


This one has been on my list to read for a while now as it sounded intriguing. The book starts with Lena Scott learning through the news online that her half-sister Desiree has been found dead of a supposed overdose. Lena races to the apartment, to verify and sees news crews and reporters, and police. How can this be, especially as her sister was found in the Bronx away from her home uptown? Lena and Desiree have been estranged for the past two years but now Lena feels guilt and wants to find out the truth about what happened to her sister. It was reported that Desiree was depressed and shot up Heroin. This doesn't line up with Lena as she knows her sister would never kill herself as she's too vain and she has a fear of needles which is why coke and pot are her vices. As the book goes along, we meet Lena and Desiree's dad and learn he is a famous music producer and how the families blend into each other. During the book, I did like Lena's character as she is determined to find out the truth and clear the news about her sister while everyone else is just happy to assume the worst. Armed with Desiree's friend Erin Ambrose, Lena will learn about secrets that surrounded the accident two years ago - the incident that stopped them talking and is someone wanting to make sure Desiree never reveals the dark truth of what happened that night? I did like this book and I loved the whole super black hero persona as that is the way I have read and know others are taught to hold in their emotions and power as there is no point in wallowing in self-pity. This is similar to how I was taught is you have your small cry and then soldier on and get on with things as life isn't going to just stop because you want it to. The only part that confused me was Stuart's involvement as he seemed like a minor part through the book and then at the end he was in full speed and it just felt out of place for the story as a whole. Overall, if you love family dramas and romantic suspense, then check out Like A Sister by Kellye Garrett today.

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...
