Review: Date Night - Samantha Hayes - August 2019

I was in the mood for a mystery and needed something that I could sink my teeth into as now and again to mix up my love of romance, I feel like I need something grittier. Now I knew this book would be a hit or miss as it is a UK fiction which tends to be a slower pace and I found myself enjoying it, however, I was a bit disappointed with the ending of this book when everything surrounding Sasha's disappearance unraveled. The book starts with Libby finding herself arrested for the murder of Sasha, then the book jumps back a few months earlier when the story starts with Libby finding a note on her car that her husband Sean is having an affair. Libby knew he had been working late and they had started to drift apart but she never considered he would be cheating. However, as soon as she reads the note, her suspicions start to get the better of her and she starts to notice holes in Sean's stories, etc. The couple then goes on a date night to try and get their marriage back on track as it has been a while since they spent a night out - just the two of them. They leave their daughter with the babysitter aka Sasha.  When the pair arrived home though, they will be in for a surprise as their daughter is fast asleep but Sasha their babysitter is nowhere to be seen - yet her bag and phone are still here. Thus begins a mystery and investigation into Sasha's disappearance and Libby is made to look like the number #1 suspect but can she prove her innocence especially as the odds are stacked up against her? Will Sasha's disappearance is connected to an even older mystery as Sean's past is brought to light with his ex-wife and family? Find out in Date Night by Samantha Hayes. A good UK thriller that will have you trying to untangle the web of the police's investigation.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
