Review: When Evil Calls - Book #5 Bridget Bishop FBI Series -Melinda Woodhall -February 2023

One of my favourite go-to female authors for mysteries is Melinda Woodhall and if you enjoy authors like Melinda Leigh and Kendra Elliot then you will also enjoy her books. The other thing that I love about Melinda's different series is that the characters crossover and so in this series we are connecting with Charlie Day, Opal, and a few others that we have seen in the Mercy Harbor, Veronica Lee, and Detective Ainsley series. I find this helps to bring the characters more to life and makes you more so invested in the story too. In When Evil Calls, Bridget is called to help investigate a new murder of Trinity Drexel. This murder looks like it is connected to the three from eight years ago. One of those three was her good friend Vic Santino's wife. Now it looks like the murderer is back to kill others and tie up loose ends as she got away with it once before, what's not to say she will again? However eight years ago Bridget Bishop wasn't on the case and if there is one thing we know about Bridget, she won't rest until the killer is behind bars and serving justice. We are also reunited with our crime podcaster Chase Grafton in this book. Whenever I read about crime podcasts, it makes me want to hop back online and listen to them. I also love how in fiction these days, especially true crime books we are seeing more and more the introduction of true crime podcasters as it is the way of the future as we have now reached a place in the world where talking about true crime isn't strange and creepy and in real life members of the public and podcasting have helped to solve cold cases similar to the one in When Evil Calls by Melinda Woodhall.  I am now looking forward to continuing this series and checking out a couple of her newer ones - The Frankie Dawson PI and the Bailey Flynn Series.

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
