The Escape Room

Review: The Escape Room - Megan Goldin - July 2019

After reading The Night Swim and enjoying this Australian author, I knew I wanted to check out her other books and this one grabbed my attention as I also love the ideas of Escape Rooms. This book starts with a scream, bangs, and several police shots. Then jumps back in time to the story of Sara Hall and her journey of getting a job at the prestigious finance firm Stanhope and Sons. Here she ends up working with Lucy, Jules, Sylvia, Sam, and Vincent and finds herself slowly fitting in or so she believes. That is until Lucy is found to have supposedly committed suicide. Sara knows there is more to the story, but soon finds herself seen as trying to sabotage her team and ends up fired. During this time, she chats with Cathy - Lucy's mother and soon she too is dead. This causes a domino effect and we learn that Sara is the next to die. The book flips back to the present where Sylvia, Jules, Sam, and Vincent are locked in an elevator-type escape room and as the clues roll in are forced to face the consequences of what they have done in the past and with all their secrets out on the table. It looks like they may never escape this escape room alive and the only way out is in a body bag. Who is controlling the escape room and who has set them up? I loved the last few chapters of this book as it blew me away and I did not see those twists and turns coming. This has one of the best thriller endings that I have read in a while as it will leave you going OMFG and, in a way, rooting for the person behind the Escape Room. I am now looking forward to reading Megan Goldin's debut novel "The Girl in Keller's Way".

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: 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...
