Review: In Their Shadows - Briana Cole - October 2023

As a mood reader, I love the freedom to scroll through my Kindle library to find books that resonate with my current vibe. It’s also a great way to weed out titles that aren’t clicking and discover hidden gems. One such gem was In Their Shadows by Briana Cole, a thrilling and suspenseful read that hooked me from the start.

The story centers around April, a woman living a high-stakes double life. Under one identity, she’s known as Erin, and under another, as Michelle. Each identity comes with its own husband, and neither man knows about the other. But April’s carefully constructed world begins to crumble when, in her life as Erin, she receives a parcel addressed to her real name, April. Inside the package is an item from her past—a past she’s desperately tried to leave behind.

Things take an even darker turn when a figure from her history resurfaces, threatening to expose her secrets and shatter the precarious balance she’s worked so hard to maintain. The tension builds as April is forced to confront her upbringing and the con artist legacy her mother, Erika, passed down to her. The book raises the question: Can April leave behind her double lives and start fresh, or will this be her downfall as someone from her past seeks revenge with lethal intent?

For fans of con artist stories and psychological thrillers, this book is a must-read. The pacing is spot-on, and the twists will keep you guessing until the very end. If you loved The Lies I Tell by Julie Clark or Woman Last Seen by Adele Parks, you’ll find In Their Shadows to be a thrilling addition to your reading list.

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...
