Review: The Last to Vanish - Megan Miranda - July 2022

You know how some mystery authors are either hits/misses, that is how I feel about Megan Miranda. Sometimes her books can be a hit out of the park or a missed shot and end up being put on the DNF Pile. The Last to Vanish was one of those hits as it featured a theme I do love as well which is a series of missing people over two decades and a small town where everyone is close-knit. The first people to disappear from Cutters Pass was about twenty years ago - a group of four friends known as The Fraternity Four. They went out and never came back, their bodies were never found. Then it was Farrah, Alice, and now Landon West. Abby doesn't know what happened to them, but now that Landon's brother has arrived in town - she is curious to help him find out even an inkling of what happened to his brother. As Abby does this she learns that Landon was writing a story about all the missing people before he disappeared. Over the book, Abby will look deeper and then learn clues about the missing people but will she like what she learns as it will start to make her suspect people she has gotten close with over the past ten years including Celeste whom she looks up to like a mother? I did love the ending twist with Abby and how she was connected to The Fraternity Four. If you love books about missing people and how everything connects in a small town, then check out The Last to Vanish by Megan Miranda.  An amazing thriller to kick off 2024 with.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
