Review: All Our Lies Are True - Lisa Manterfield - September 2023

This thriller drew me in with the cover. In All Our Lies are True we meet Abby who is now 22 years old.  When she was six years old, her twin sister Cassie disappeared from their cabin and has been missing without a trace. That is until now when her body is found as a pile of bones at the lake where they were camping that Summer went missing. Abby can't quite remember what happened, just that after it happened. Her family stopped talking about Cassie and the family moved away to have a fresh start. Now the reporters are back around and focusing on Abby's Dad as the Killer. But Abby isn't quite convinced but she knows for certain her family has been keeping secrets and one of them, if not all knows exactly what happened that night Cassie vanished. Did one of them kill her? Was it her Dad when he found out that maybe Abby and Cassie weren't his children but Uncle Dave's - his brothers instead? Was it the older sister Libby who is a control freak, someone who steals passports of people who look similar to her or was it her mother who donated Cassie's things and tried to erase Cassie from their lives after she vanished? Or is it someone else entirely? All Our Lies Are True was a rollercoaster of emotions and lots of back and forth and trying to connect the dots and keep your head on straight as it made me the reader feel as if I was a ping-pong ball or pinball going from person to person.  This book I found is aimed at Teens to New Adult as the plot and characters did seem younger than adults would enjoy. If you love Karen M. McManus and Riley Sager, then you will enjoy All Our Lies Are True by Lisa Manterfield this spooky October.

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...
