The Girl in the Picture

Review: The Girl in the Picture - Alexandra Monir - November 2016
You know how sometimes you read books and get a sense of Deja Vu, but you can't put your finger on it as all evidence is pointing to that you haven't read it. That's how I was with the Girl in the Picture by Alexandra Monir.  Overall, I knew I hadn't read the book but there were a lot of parts to it that just sounded so darn familiar. This book is perfect if you love YA Thrillers. The book starts off in the present time with the popular guy Chace Porter being found dead in the woods after a party. Anyone could have killed him, but the police are narrowing down their suspects to two females - Nicole Morgan and Lana Riveria. Nicole was a violinist and not on the popular radar whereas Lana was Miss Queen Bee. They both loved Chace, but only one of them could ultimately be with him. The book then jumps back to the moment where Chace starts school and meets not only Lana but also Nicole. We learn too that Nicole and Lana have been put together as Roomies and though Chace really wanted to be with Nicole, he ended up with Lana who politically was the best choice. The thing though is all those memories are about to be brought back up as Chace was found dead with the pictures of him and Nicole in his pocket and Nicole is forced to relive the last night she had anything to do with Chace and Lana - the night she got her scar. This was a fast-paced read and when the real killer is revealed, it all made sense and I loved how all the characters including the killer were tied together and intertwined with one another's lives. So, readers if you are on the lookout for a good YA thriller - then check out Alexandra Monir's The Girl in the Picture and find out who really killed Chace Porter, that fateful night.

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
