Review: The Halo Effect - Book #1 Butterfield Institute series - MJ Rose - July 2005
Looking for a new pyschological thriller to get your brain juices flowing ? After reading a special written by MJ Rose called "In Session" which featured what would happen if characters like Jack Reacher (Lee Child ) and John Rain ( Barry Eisler) were to stumble upon Dr. Morgan Snow's couch , for those who don't know - Dr. Morgan Snow is a Sex Therapist and works for the Butterfield Institute, they are the best in their profession. You come to them, not the other way around. After reading In Session, I decided to give MJ Rose a go and checked out her book "The Halo Effect" from the local library and I really enjoyed it , a bit slow in places though but where she made up for the slow pace was the adventure and the details which I normally don't enjoy but it's what made The Halo Effect well enjoyable. The other part I enjoyed was the grisly murders as for me , a murder needs to be graphic -the more the better :P. In The Halo Effect, as you can guess from the title has a religious feel to it and the victims are all prostitutes. When one of Morgan Snow's patients , a high end prostitute goes missing , Morgan feels compelled to find out who dunnit and the only clues that she can think are all written in the manuscript of Cleo's memoirs , that she holds a copy of. Now Morgan must infiltrate Cleo's life to discover who's who in her memoirs and find out whether any of them are willing to kill to keep their secrets buried.  Reading this made me think of the PLL Theme song "Two can keep a secret , if one of them is dead "and with Morgan newly divorced , is she looking for another man , is Detective Noah Jordain her cup of tea ?
I Look forward to reading more of the Dr. Morgan Snow books and to see what else Morgan will discover in and out of the office.

    Woah! I'm really enjoying the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and appearance. I must say you have done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads super fast for me on Firefox. Excellent Blog!

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
