Looking for a murder mystery with a difference ? One that is seemly out of the box ?
Review: Turn of Mind - Alice LaPlante - July 2011
Starting with covers as all those who read my blog will know that I am definitely a sucker for an amazing cover , personally I love the one in the middle but I would put the one on the far right which was the cover I had recieved as my second choice .
When I got this book to review, I wasn't sure on how I would find it as I didn't really have an idea what it was about but once I started the first page -I was hooked , it was such an amazing read that captivates you from the very first page and is one of those books that will definitely get your brain whirling into gear as the story goes along.
Turn of Mind follows the story of an elderly woman named Amanda who has been found murdered with her fingers severed , the prime suspect is another older women Dr. Jennifer White , a former surgeon and now suffering Dementia. Turn of Mind follows the events of the discovery of Amanda's body and how the police believe that Jennifer committed the crime but how do you get the correct evidence and the truth from somebody who is suffering from alzhemiers and does not know on a daily basis what year , day or month it is ?
Turn of Mind will keep readers on their toes as they quickly turn from page to page trying to find out whether Jennifer is innocent or not and if she is then who really killed Amanda and is willing to let Jennifer take the fall ?
A great story that I recommend all should read and what I really enjoyed about the timing that I read this was that I had just finished watching an episode on Body of Proof where Detective Bud and Sam had thought that Henry- who had a dementia disorder killed his best friend Joe.

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
