Arabella Park: Season 1

Review: Arabella Park - Season #1 - Evan Tyler/ Meiling - October 2017

What happens when four friends start to share secrets with each other? Abductions, Kidnapping, Blackmail, and Death. I have suggested this book from a friend of mine as she knew I loved mysteries and she had likened it to Pretty Little Liars, so of course, I was intrigued. Arabella Park is set in a village that is likened to America and normally filled with Germans. Four friends make up the American corner and have been best friends since childhood - Kameron and her stepbrother Grayson, Yasmin, Mikey, and Jenna. The four are now in high school and enjoying life till one party will change the whole friendship atmosphere. The book starts with a mystery as Yasmin has gone missing and the three friends are being blackmailed, and if they want to see their friend alive, they will follow the instructions of M.E and not call the police. Unfortunately, they are all hiding secrets and can't go to the police unless they all want to suffer. Meanwhile, a new girl has started at the school London, and she seems to be hiding a few secrets of her own and has weaseled her way into the friendship circle except Kameron is suspicious of her and believes she has something to do with Yasmin's mysterious disappearance. Arabella Park was a long book and in parts moved a little too slow for my liking, and I found some of the stories from a straight mystery plot unnecessary, but then it did add the different twists and constantly threw you off the path you were on. I have to admit I did not see the ending coming with the reveal of what happened to Yasmin and who M.E was. I have to admit though when M.E was revealed; I thought it made sense as I hated that particular character right through the book. If you are in the mood for a new author to try and love Mystery novels with a touch of a psychological thrill then check out Season One of Arabella Park by Evan Tyler writing as Meiling.

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...
