Lowcountry Bordello (A Liz Talbot Mystery, #4)

Review: Lowcountry Bordello - Book #4 Liz Talbot Mysteries -Susan M Boyer - November 2015

It's Southern Time with Susan's latest release from Henery Press in the Liz Talbot Mystery series. This time it takes us to a Bordello which is a fancy name for an high class escort agency boarding house.  It all starts with Liz's friend Richard coming to hire her as his wife Olivia - one of Liz's best friends has been acting strangely and he wants to know if she's having an affair.  Liz declines as A) Olivia is her best friend and B) she's supposed to be getting married on Saturday and at this rate , she is behind on wedding plans as her new husband to be Nate is a lawyer and busy on a case too. The same night, Olivia rings Liz in a panic as she believes Richard is dead. Liz arrives and to her surprise there is no body in the parlour like Olivia said - this part made me giggle as it reminded me of the old boardgame Cluedo/ Clue. Turns out Olivia is half-owner is a Bordello which has been handed down to the females in her family line and Olivia is set to inherit it, she is also being blackmailed by her nasty cousin Seth. When a dead guy turns up the next day matching Olivia's description,  Liz takes the case and with the help of Colleen - her ghost friend who was her friend in High School , they will try to solve the case before more people are killed in the process. It turns out though that the Bordello also houses a few ghosts of it's own as the latest victim isn't the first to have died at the Bordello. Can Liz with the help of her friends solve the Mystery of The Dead man in the Lowcountry Bordello in time for her wedding on Saturday ? Also one of my favourite parts in this book was at the Wedding when Nate finally saw Colleen as Liz can now tell him her secret - what will happen though when Liz reveals to Nate who Colleen is and her dark secret ?

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
