Blinding Lies: A gripping contemporary thriller set in Cork, where the search for truth can prove deadly

Review: Blinding Lies - Amy Cronin - December 2020

Anna works as a typist for the Garda Station and everyday cases come across her desk to type up the reports and log them into the system. I have to admit that this job fascinated me and it sounds like an awesome job to have. Anna's background too is in statistics and maths. Blinding Lies has several storylines and sometimes when authors do this, I find the book can become too busy and lose direction and feel like a giant mess but author Amy Cronin pulled them all together quite nicely and it worked. The main storyline in this book is the death of David Gallagher who is part of the Gallagher Crime family in Cork County, Ireland and the prime suspect is Kate Crowley. Anna recognizes Kate's picture and we learn that in primary school that Kate and Anna were best friends and spent a lot of time together. Anna tracks her down and saves her from a bad situation when Gallagher's men find her. Using her knowledge of the force, can Anna help prove Kate's innocence and that it was self-defence? The second storyline is a pattern that Anna spots with two unconnected crimes - a series of burglaries and then sexual assaults. Can Anna prove her theory to the officers or will it be too late when she finds herself the next target of the assaults? The last storyline was my favourite and I am looking forward to reading more books by Amy Cronin in the future especially if she chooses to pursue this storyline. Anna's parents disappeared without a trace when she was a child and her older brother Alex was left to raise her. Now ten years later, she is determined to discover the truth of what happened but will she like what is turned up as a first clue? Find out all this and more in an action-packed debut mystery/thriller Blinding Lies by author Amy Cronin.

  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
