Wanting a new mystery novel to read ?
Review: Catch Me - Detective DD Series Book #6 - Lisa Gardner - February 2012
It seems like ages since I've last read in a mystery book and in the last couple of days , I've read two and have another one sitting on my pile to read. I have to say I just love reading serial killer novels and lately a few by my favourite authors have been released which makes a change from reading fantasy/supernatural novels.
In "Catch Me" we meet Charlie , she has four days to live and then she will fall prey to a killer who on January 21st the previous two years killed her best friends Randi and Jackie. When she contacts a detective to help solve her murder before she is dead , Charlie finds herself embroiled in another murder case or should I say cases as somebody is going around killing peodiphiles and the somebody looks eerily similar to Charlie. It seems though that Charlie has had a hard life and her past, the one she has tried so hard to block out will catch up with her as the killer we discover has connections that run very deep with Charlie and the killer as we won't stop until Charlie is within the clutches of death.  Can one person really train their entire life to stop murder from occuring and can one really escape death ?
In Catch Me , Lisa Gardner also explores the issues of Muchanausen by Proxy and Domestic Violence.

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
