Review: You're Not Supposed To Die Tonight - Kalynn Bayron - June 2023

With October being the month of Spooktober and reading mysteries and horrors, I decided my first October read would be Kalynn Bayron's "Your'e Not Supposed to Die Tonight". This book starts as a fun summer experience where a group of teens work at a local Summer Camp pretending to be in a Serial Killer slasher film. It reminded me a bit of a local attraction we have here in New Zealand called Spookers, but that is set in an old mental institution. Charity is often the 2IC and also has the role everyone covets which is the "final girl". I did love the irony in this as often black people are the ones that die first in horror movies and I loved that this one took a different perspective. It was great to see the race reversal. The book though takes a weird twist about halfway as the characters learn that there is an old secret society called The Owl Society and that the Summer Camp years ago was a real camp that had six of the campers murdered and this place especially the lake is covering multiple dead bodies. Bodies that have been used as a supernatural sacrifice that if done right, then your darkest and deepest desire will come true. As Charity's friends start being killed one by one, can she survive the night and be a "final girl" in real life? Find out in this fun YA horror read by Kaylynn Bayron "You're Not Supposed to Die Tonight".

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...
