Review: True Lies - Book #5.5 The Lying Game Series - Sara Shepard - June 2013 When you are in the mood to read but nothing is grabbing you and the clock is ticking? What is your go-to read? Mine is novellas or short stories and what better ones that take you back into the world of some of your favorite series like Sara Shepard's The Lying Game - though in my defense anything by Sara Shepard is great as she is one of my favorites. In True Lies, Thayer has run away and the gang is all missing him in different ways. Laurel wants in with the Lying Game crew but this is Sutton's baby and she doesn't want to share another thing with Laurel. Of course, Laurel has Mads and Charlotte on her side which means Sutton must now participate in a Lying Game Showdown. If Sutton wins then Laurel can't join but if Laurel wins - then she is a new member of The Lying Game Club. The book and challenges take place in Las Vegas and of course, at the end, we get that sneak peek of Emma - Sut...

Review : Device- Free Weekend - Sean Doolittle - February 2023 Have you ever picked up a book that had such great promise, but as you start reading it the book eventually turns to be weird and a big fat mess? That's what Device Free Weekend was like for me, it was one of those books that have left me thinking what the heck did I read and why did I waste my time on this mess?

However, when the friends arrive and are asked to hand over their devices, they do reluctantly and enjoy their night of alcohol and catch-ups. The next morning though, their mogul friend Ryan has vanished and the house is securely locked down and a game begins. The f...

Review: The Awakening - Book #2 Sapient Salvation - Jayne Faith and Christine Castle - January 2016. I first read Book #1 a few years back and was hooked as I was transported into a book that was like The Hunger Games meets Syfy meets Harem novels. Each year a group of males and females are chosen from Earth to go to the planet Calista, and there they fight in a tournament, sort of like The Hunger Games as they have challenges, deaths, and each participant has a guide. In the end, the winners will become part of the King's Harem. The Awakening has two storylines as it has the Tournament in which Maya is competing in but someone aka Akantha and possibly more want her dead as she is proving to be a threat as unlike any of the previous participants Maya has captured both Prince Toric and his brother Jeric's affections. The second storyline is that there is a prophecy which connects Earth and the planet Calista together and it seems that the prophecy ...
