Review: The Arrangement - Miranda Rijks - August 2020

I have been reading a lot of romance and fantasy lately and felt like a change of direction so I opened my Kindle and began to scroll until I came across a title by Miranda Rijks. I have enjoyed a few of her psychological thrillers in the past and figured this one would be no different. As I open the book we are presented with the murder in the first chapter as we meet a young girl stabbed on the rocks. The book then jumps to the next chapter where the young girl's parents get a knock on their door. Abi has been found stabbed in South Africa and alone, this doesn't make sense to Grace as her daughter was supposed to be staying with friends Becky and Ethan. Grace is about to have her eyes wide open and learn that her daughter has a secret life that she never imagined. Readers will learn that Abi through her diary entries became a sugar baby and that she also had a boyfriend whom she fell in love with and pregnant with. As Grace decides to investigate as the South African and the UK Police aren't keen on properly solving the case, she signs up for the Sugar Baby site pretending to be her daughter. Here she meets a few of the men Abi talked to, one in particular wants to help Grace discover the truth as he cared for Abi like a daughter. What will happen though when Grace starts to receive threatening phone calls and messages that if she doesn't back off Ella will die too and even more so when Grace is almost run off the road, who killed Abi and wants the secret to never come out? This was a great read and makes readers also wonder who can we trust when our family is hurt as those you think are friends could be your enemies in disguise. If you love UK fiction and psychological thrillers, then check out Miranda Rijks as you will not be disappointed.

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
