Review: Life For Rent - Emmie Lou Kates - May 2013

Have you ever felt that your life isn't going anywhere and that time after time , you keep on making the same silly mistakes and history starts to repeat itself or think what if ? and believe that deep down if you had made a different decision - then life could be different. In Life for Rent, our story takes place in the sleepy country town of Cornish in the UK and I guess with most English books you can imagine that the story is a bit more slow paced, unlike the New Adult novels that we read set in America. The novel starts with Beth finding her new cottage and enjoying the atmosphere surrounding her when she is confronted by her annoying new neighbour as we discover Liam. The two definitely do not hit it off and we start to discover slowly that the pair are damaged in their own ways as Liam lost his family in an accident and now blames himself and ponders on that awful What If Question and Beth is escaping from another horrible relationship and dreams of the day where she can finally if it ever exists find true love. With a hint of the UK Magic can these two find that despite their differences and their attitudes towards each other that they actually have a bit more in common than they expected and that sometimes it just takes a similar interest to spark a romantic fling and deep within that romantic fling may be the ingredients for a true romantic relationship.

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...

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...
