Review : The Maid - Book #1 Molly the Maid - Nita Prose - January 2022

I recently got sent Book #2 The Mystery Guest and so I figured it was about time that I got around and read the first book The Maid. It was amazing, such a great read as I felt myself instantly wanting more and I connected with Molly the Maid. Growing up in a family where the autism gene is quite strong, I got used to my mum and siblings being on the spectrum and I know I have a few traits myself. I think because Molly herself is a neurodivergent character, I was able to connect with the story more. I also did at times get frustrated with the detective as they should have seen or noticed something different and unique about Molly from the beginning instead of dragging her name through the mud. Molly's Nana was a maid and now Molly has been working for years as a maid and it's a job she is great at. The downside though is Molly is naive and taken advantage of so when one of the guests Mr. Black is found dead Molly discovers his body. She finds herself in the lead for prime suspect in his murder which of course she is innocent. I was so glad that Mr. Preston and his daughter Charlotte were able to help Molly and the fact that Juan did the right thing as I was so nervous that he wouldn't turn up and do the right thing for Molly, I was on the edge of my seat in that chapter. If you love closed-door mysteries and cozy novels, then you will love The Maid with its disability representation included. It also reminded me a little of the TV show Only Murders in the Building with Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. I am now excited to get stuck into Book #2 so readers stay tuned for my review of The Mystery Guest as I cross my fingers and toes and hope it is just as great as this first book - The Maid by Nita Prose.

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
