The Night Season

Review : The Night Season - Chelsea Cain - March 2011

Reading the Book Blogger Question , not the week that's just been but the week before on "Who is your favourite book villan" got me remembering about this book - the 4th book in the Beauty Killer series as one of the bloggers mentioned that her favourite villian happened to be Gretchen Lowell which is the Beauty Killer's real name in Chelsea Cain's books.
In The Night Season we catch glimpses of Gretchen as she awaits her death row trial after her escape from prison and then her recapture. However unlike Chelsea's previous books this one focuses on a past murder of sorts and a new one - one that has connections to both from characters to tales . It also seemed somewhat appropiate with the main theme of this book besides the characters being poisoned , that the incidents in which these people died were from drowning and floods due to the fact that we are currently around the world experiencing natural disasters of sorts. When Henry, Archie's cop partner is poisoned by the killer and left dead - is this the final goodbye for Henry Sobol or will it overcome like the tough cop he is and of course I got a chuckle as my favourite character from Chelsea's books Susan Ward - this is due to the fact that she is a journalist but also she loves to dye her hair different and bright colours . In this book she explains to readers that the hair dye she used in Manic Panic Deadly Nightshade, this made me smile as the colour of my hair is Manic Panic Wildfire.
A fun mystery novel brought to you by Chelsea Cain, an enjoyable read - however if you are reading Chelsea Cain for the sake of Gretchen -you won't enjoy The Night Season as I said previously Gretchen is a very minor character -other than that The Night Season was an awesome read and fast-paced.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
