Review: To Tell You the Truth - Gilly MacMillan - June 2020


I have to admit, this one sounded good and had great promise but ended up being a borderline three-star read for me as I pushed through the book hoping it would get better it had a lot of potential but just fell flat for me as it felt disjointed the storyline and a tad on the odd side. The book starts with introducing us to Lucy who we learned had a younger brother called Teddy who when they were children - vanished without a trace. His body was never found and he has remained a missing person. It was Lucy's fault he went missing, but she never revealed the real truth of his disappearance and one of the reasons she never told the truth was Eliza. Eliza was her imaginary friend as a child and now Lucy has captured Eliza as the main detective in her popular thriller series. The thing though is that Lucy has had enough and wants Eliza gone, so she takes a giant risk. Meanwhile, Lucy's husband has a surprise for her, he has brought them a new house and it happens to be in the same area as Lucy's childhood house the woods where her brother disappeared are her back property.  I have to admit, I really hated Dan - Lucy's husband with a passion, he was a real jerk. The thriller part comes to a past/present state when Dan goes missing and Lucy finds out that he has been researching bunkers and her brother's disappearance. Does Dan know more about Teddy's disappearance than she does? Can Lucy tell the truth this time and will they believe her?

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
