Never Missing, Never Found


Review: Never Missing, Never Found - Amanda Panitch - June 2016

When Scarlet was a young girl, she was kidnapped along with another girl called Pixie. The two for a while were friends, but Pixie tried to push the boundaries and ended up getting the worst of punishments whereas Scarlet realized that if she complied with the rules, rewards were to be given. Years later after a struggle, they escaped except one girl died, and one lived or did they? Scarlet's family have moved, and she has gotten a job at an amusement park, but what will happen when one of the employees goes missing? Will Scarlet reveal her past to her new friends? At the amusement park Scarlet meets another employee named Kat who seems to be familiar to Scarlet especially when she starts to pop out with sayings that only one person knew - Pixie, but how can that be as Pixie is supposed to be dead and buried? Like most YA mysteries, the book was slow to start off with but near the end gets a bit more suspenseful and then wham bam- the book drops a massive bombshell that leaves readers going OMG, and then you wonder how it is going to play out. I do have to admit I didn't see the final twist coming, but then after I finished the book and thought about it - it did make sense.  If you are on the lookout for a new YA mystery author to read, then check out Amanda Panitch with her book Never Missing, Never Found as you will not be disappointed.

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...
