Girl Missing
Review: Girl Missing - Tess Gerritsen - December 2009
Ever wondered what your favourite author's first novel was like ? Some are great hits and others not so good , but it seems that their is a trend at the moment for authors to re-release their first novels. Jodi Picoult has her Songs of the Humpback Whale -unfortunately that was the only one of her books I could not get into , Harlan Coben re-released his novel Play Dead and now we have Tess Gerritsen and her book Girl Missing. Tess Gerritsen is most commonly famous for her mystery series Rizolli and Isles which feature a Cop - Jane Rizolli and a Medical Examiner Dr. Maura Isles , it was also televised into a television series of which I own Season One.  Before her hit series , Tess started out writing romantic suspense novels that bordered on Crime but not completely.
Girl Missing takes us into the life of ME Dr. Kat Novak , who within three days has three dead bodies lying in her morgue , each with a suspected Drug Overdose - the scary thing is that the drug is not familiar and it turns out to be a new trial connected with a huge Pharmacy Company called Cygnus run by Dr. Adam Quantrell. From the beginning, she finds Adam an rude and arrogant rich male and decides that he is hiding something. Growing up in the South Lexington Projects where the three murders have occurred , Kat heads there looking for answers but what she finds will put her number one suspect higher on her list - his step-daughter Maeve who disappeared is the girlfriend of the Man Jonah in the Projects. What is she hiding ? Does she know something about the release of the drug?
Soon Kat finds herself over her head as a number of warnings heads her way from stolen cars to bombing etc . It seems that this case goes deeper into scandal as Kat uravels some evidence from the Mayor and her ex-husband Ed Novak- the District Attorney.
As Kat tries to get to the bottom of this we see her relationship blossom from strictly a working one with Adam to a bit more friendly , but as she gets deeper and deeper - can she really give her heart and soul to trust him or will she be betrayed by him as she solves the case?
Find out in this awesome novel, which proves that Tess Gerritsen was always an amazing mystery/crime/romance suspense author and fans like me are glad she stuck around and continued writing.

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...
