Five Total Strangers

Review: Five Total Strangers - Natalie D. Richards - October 2020


One of my favorite YA Thriller authors is Natalie D. Richards, and when I saw that she had a new release- it was no doubt that I would read it and enjoy it. The book starts with our main female character Mira heading to her mother's for Christmas after spending some time with her Dad. On the plane, she gets talking to her seatmate Harper and the pair click. The next thing the girls know, they are experiencing terrible turbulence which will result in their following planes being delayed or canceled. This reminded me of Dec 2013 when I and my friend Nina went to the US and got stuck at LAX and had five flights canceled in a row as the states had experienced a freak snowstorm. Mira goes along with Harper as neither of them wants to spend another night at the airport and soon meets up with three other strangers Brecken, Kayla, and Josh. The five of them end up renting a car together to make it to their final destinations. However, the journey is about to turn a bit crazy as neither knows one from the other and when five strangers are on edge to get home, then things are bound to get crazy. As it turns out one of them is a dangerous stalker, one has violent tendencies, one is running from something and the other is addicted to drugs, and of course, one is pretending to be older than they are. Throughout the journey, secrets will be revealed and some of those secrets turn out to be worth killing to keep others from revealing. Five Total Strangers is another great YA thriller from Natalie D. Richards and is the perfect mix of 90s horror films with a Christmas setting.

  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
