Review: A Geek Girl's Guide to Arsenic - Book #2 Geek Girl Mysteries - Julie Anne Lindsey - March 2016

Mia Connors is back, and it's Renaissance Faire time again in their hometown. Mia's family is quite invested in the faire circuit as her Grandmother for years has been making holistic, and natural body beauty products and now she has finally reached the point where her beauty products have been picked up by a big company, Mia has brought herself a small condo and is concentrating on her IT Business and her sister Bree has just had a gorgeous baby called Gwen. Things are finally perking up, especially since three months ago Mia was accused of killing her friend Baxter by Detective Jake Archer. Now though it seems trouble is coming to target Mia and her family once again as they find themselves in the middle of a murder investigation when a close fellow Renaissance Faire friend John is poisoned. With rumors flying that it was their Grandmother's product that killed him, sales take a nosedive and then their booth is burned to the ground. Jake Archer is back on the case, this time with the US Marshalls office. Mia being ever so curious will enlist the help of her friends and family to discover who killed John and clear her family's business before they stand to lose everything that they have worked for. What will happen though as when Mia starts to close in, her family becomes threatened? On the other hand, Mia's best friend Nate is wanting to invest in a company and purchases a computer RPG called Reign. Will this be a bad or good investment for him? As someone who sees themselves a Geek Girl, I loved this book as it brought together my favorite things - Geek Chic Lit and Cozy Mysteries. I am now looking forward to reading the other books in the Geek Girl's Mysteries series.

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...
