Conspiracy In The Capitol (In The Capitol #1)

Review: Conspiracy in the Capitol - Book #1 - In the Capitol Series -  B. Ivy Woods - June 2020

I have to admit this book I had been in two minds about as I did leave it till the last minute to read but the politics angle and the word "conspiracy" is what grabbed me. Unfortunately for me, this wasn't a favorite read and I struggled to finish as it was quite a slow burn and lots of back and forth from the main characters. I liked the idea of a second chance romance which this had but seriously, I know you were burned but why not just jump back in when there are feelings and then you can go from there.   I did enjoy the various group texts and then the mysterious messages as I love seeing modern uses of technology e.g texting, emails, etc in novels. I did like Flint as a male lead but have to admit Rae frustrated me and I felt I couldn't fully connect with her, but at the same time I loved how she had a group of tight-knit girlfriends - that was awesome and that we got to see their names, etc quite a bit throughout the novel. Of course like most romances, we have our sad moment as just when things start to look up for the couple and we are like YAY - a second chance , the mystery aspect happens and their past comes back to haunt them. Who doesn't want this beautiful couple together ? Will Rae's heart be able to handle another lost round with Flint ?
  I would classify Conspiracy in the Capitol as a cozy mystery with second chance slow-burn romance. If you love your romance with a sprinkle of suspense then check out B. Ivy Woods - Conspiracy in the Capitol - a diversity BWWM read.

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...

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...
