Review: Three Single Wives - Gina Lamanna - September 2020

This book's cover grabbed me as I just loved the juxtaposition of the glass shards with the three women's faces in them. This book starts at a book club promoting Marguerite Hill's new Self-Help book all about females taking back what was taken from the males in their lives and gaining back their freedom - the book was called Taking Charge. The conversation flows with wine and then turns a bit dark as they end up bringing up the topic of hypotheticals of how would they kill their husbands or partners. Would they use a gun, poison, or a knife? Would they make it look like a suicide or an accident or would they frame someone else for murder? The book then jumps to the present time and we are at a court trial where Penny, Eliza, and Anne are on the stand as one of the husbands has been murdered and now they are all being looked at as suspects. The book then jumps back timelines to how the four women first met each other from Marguerite becoming Eliza's client, Anne being Eliza's best friend from college and Penny being new to LA with dreams of being a scriptwriter and taking a class from Roman - Eliza's husband and she is also the new babysitter of Anne's children.  Each of these woman have something to hide from Roman's affairs, Anne believes her husband is cheating on her and Penny is in love with Roman and carrying his child.  Each woman ends up being a suspect, but which one of the four killed Roman, and if neither of them did - then will they find the killer before the wrong woman is found guilty and sentenced? Three Single Wives was a good thriller and reminded me a little of the book Good Husbands by Cate Ray which I read and reviewed on this blog in 2024.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
