Review: The Reappearance of Rachel Price - Holly Jackson - April 2024

Bel is turning 18 this year and can't wait to escape the small town as her whole life has been overshadowed by an event that happened when she was two years old. Sixteen years ago, Bel was found in a car on the side of the road and her mum Rachel had vanished. Her Dad went to prison, but then was found Not Guilty and it has just been the two of them. Bel doesn't even remember her mum at all. Now Sixteen years later, a documentary is being made about her mum and it has brought up a lot of emotions. For Bel, it should make her happy to chat about her mum but the only emotion she feels is anger. I have to admit I didn't enjoy Bel's character in this book as she does come across as a spoilt brat right the way through and it was so irritating. What happens though when one day Bel is walking home and who does she see walking along the old train tracks? Her mum - Rachel Price. Where has she been the past sixteen years and what happened to her? As the story goes along, Bel is very suspicious as her mum's story isn't quite holding up and then once she arrives Bel's dad goes missing. What is happening and what dark secrets are the Price family hiding now that Rachel is back - she's not going to stop exposing the Price family until they have paid for their sins. Overall, I did enjoy this one but I did find it in parts felt a little long-winded, which is the UK way often of writing books I have found. Slow and steady wins the race.  Fans of Karen M. McManus, Diana Urban, and Denise Brown will love Holly Jackson's new release "The Reappearance of Rachel Price".

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
