Review: The Girl That Got Away - Marin Montgomery - February 2018

One of the things that I love with my Kindle is Kindle Unlimited as it gives me the chance to read and discover new authors whose books I am on the fence about. They are the ones I want to read, but it's like are they good enough to spend that money on as they possibly could be DNFs and I am a one-time reader when it comes to my books. I had read one of Marin's books previously and enjoyed it, so I grabbed The Girl That Got Away. This book also captured my attention as it contains another of my favorite tropes in a thriller - missing children and then the age-old tale of two went in and only one came back storylines. In this book, it starts with two best friends Avery and Callie who are fourteen years old. Every Summer before school starts for the new year, they camp in a tent in Avery's front yard. This year though, Avery knows it will be the last as Callie  is changing and acting more mature than Avery, she has also been very secretive and different this past year. Avery can feel her drifting away. During the evening, while the girls are sleeping a man breaks in and goes straight for Callie . Avery chases after him and ends up being kidnapped as well. She manages to get away, but Callie is still missing and Avery can't remember a thing. Who kidnapped the girls and why? This was another book where I felt that the reason for the kidnapping and then towards the ending, the book got quite muddied as so many things were happening and lots of tangents. If you want a good thriller, then Marin Montgomery is for you. I would advise though that this be another one that you either check out on KU or from the library unless you are an avid Marin Montgomery fan - then go ahead and purchase your copy.

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
