The Match (Wilde, #2)

Review: The Match - Book #2 Wilde Series - Harlan Coben - March 2022

I have always been a fan of Harlan Coben's books and though I haven't read Book #1 which now I do as it sounds interesting; I was able to read Book #2 and understand it. In The Match, we meet Wilde who was found in the woods as a young boy and taken under the wing of Hester and Ira Crimstein after he became good friends with her son David. Reading this book, I was trying to remember where I had read about Hester and then I clicked, she is the lawyer friend of Myron Bolitar who had his series by Harlan Coben and often Hester featured in the series. In Book #2 of the Wilde series - It's a Match. Wilde has put his DNA on a site to try and see if it will lead him to any clues about who he is and why he was left abandoned in the forest. It leads him to a potential father - Dan Carter. Things though are a bit sketchy as one minute Dan is there and the next, he has disappeared from the face of the earth and all these law enforcement parties are involved. This is storyline #1 as Wilde decides to dig around some more for his family. He also discovers that he has a cousin called PB on another site and it looks like this one might have just committed suicide due to online bullying. Are Wilde's matches dead ends or will they lead him down a rabbit hole? The second storyline that runs through The Match is a vigilante group known as Boomerang, this group sets to take the nasty trolls of the world down a notch or two but what happens when someone starts taking justice into their own hands and the people on their list starts turning up dead. Find out in another action-packed release by Harlan Coben aka "The Match".

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...
