Review: The Good Neighbor - Cathryn Grant - September 2019

Not sure exactly what I was in the mood for, I scrolled through my Kindle and came across The Good Neighbor by Cathryn Grant. The cover captivated me with the pink shoe lying on the road and the idea of a kidnapped child. A Missing Persons story. The story starts with Brittany and her parents moving into a small close-knit suburb, the neighbors don't know much about the family as they stick to themselves and it seems Brittany acts much younger than she is. She seems younger than her 14 years old. One night after being here a couple of weeks, Brittany vanishes and is classed as a missing person. Next door Taylor helps by making a Facebook page running search parties and helping the family with whatever they need. During the time Brittany is missing, a woman Crystal sees the post and is shocked as this is her daughter who was taken from her almost 10 years ago. Crystal contacts Taylor and is first seen as a prank messenger but as Crystal and Taylor correspond, it looks like Crystal is telling the truth. What happened that night ten years ago and how did Brittany end up with this set of parents? Are they loving parents or is there something much more devious going on? This book reminded me of Jason Rekulak's book Hidden Pictures as it had a similar feel to the storyline. If you love missing children and books like The Face on the Milk Carton by Caroline B. Cooney, then check out Cathryn Grant's The Good Neighbor today.

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
