Lying Out Loud


Review: Lying Out Loud - Book #4 Hamilton High Series - Kody Keplinger - April 2015
Remember the movie The DUFF with Wesley and Bianca? Lying out Loud takes us back to their high school and the main two characters are Sonny and Amy. Amy happens to be Wesley's younger sister and he and Bianca also appear in this story, so it was cool to see that they did get a happily ever after - after high school. This book takes on a modern twist of Cyrano De Bergerac as we have our main male character, Ryder. Ryder and Sonny are at odds ends and they seem to bring out the worst in each other and he happens to have the biggest crush on Amy - his version of Miss Perfect. Sonny has a habit of lying which gets her into lots of trouble throughout the novel and the cause of the story. It starts innocently where she pretends to be Amy and chats to Ryder.Ryder soon replies and the pair start talking and getting to know one another. Sonny really should confess and stop, but she finds herself pretending to be Amy. When things start to complicate and Sonny starts falling head over heels for Ryder, she confesses to Amy what she has done. Now the pair must find a way to work together to get Ryder to hate Amy and fall in love with Sonny. What will happen though when the truth explodes and everyone involved gets hurt because of the lies and secrecy? Can the friendships/romance repair or will it be destroyed? Find out in Lying Out Loud by Kody Keplinger - a fun yet edgy YA read.

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...

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...
