Three Little Lies


Review: Three Little Lies - Laura Marshall - June 2018
I was in the mood for a mystery thriller when I came across Three Little Lies on Netgalley. I had previously read and enjoyed Laura's debut novel Friend Request and couldn't wait to read this one. I also loved the fact that it was about friends who had lied and now revenge was coming to them and secrets/truths being uncovered. The book starts ten years ago when a family moved in next door to Ellen. The family had two boys Daniel and Nate and their goddaughter, Sasha. Ellen became quick friends with Sasha and Ellen's friend Karina joined them, but she was always a bit of an outsider and obsessed with the family especially Daniel. One NYE, Karina cries rape and tells the others that Daniel raped and became violent with her after she screamed to stop. The case goes to trial and Ellen, and Sasha takes the stand and back-up Karina's story. Daniel is sentenced to ten years in jail, and Karina moves away, and Ellen and Sasha become the best of friends and move in together. Now Ten Years Later, Ellen and Sasha are roomies, and Daniel has been released. Ellen comes home and discovers that Sasha has gone missing and believes it has something to do with Daniel and the fact that they might have put an innocent person away. Now Ellen must revisit old friends including Karina, Sasha's mother, and Leo to find out where Sasha might have gone. In doing so, Ellen will learn new truths about Sasha and that she might not have known her best friend all along. Three Little Lies was a great book with a twist that I didn't see coming. Fans of Laura's book Friend Request and Ruth Ware's The Lying Game will love.

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
