The Insiders (The Insiders Trilogy, #1)

Review: The Insiders - Book #1 The Insiders Trilogy - Tijan - May 2021



As a fan of Tijan's books, I was excited to be able to read The Insiders. I went in blind not knowing what to expect as often I find that the best bet, otherwise I tend to end up disappointed in the story and not able to enjoy it to the full as my expectations aren't met. In this book, it starts with a punch as Bailey wakes up home alone to find intruders in her house. They are ready to kidnap her. Luckily a neighbor hears her scream and she finds herself able to escape to safety. The next scene cuts to Bailey and her mum as well as a couple of investigators. Bailey is about to learn that her mother lied about her father and that the true identity is why she was kidnapped and that in a way Bailey has known all her life who her father is as he has been her technology idol growing up and her hero. We learn that Bailey now has to make a hard choice as this isn't the first time the kidnappers have tried to steal one of her father's children. Go with her mother and into the WITSEC or meet the father she has always wanted and never known. Of course, Bailey chooses her father but will learn that she is an "outsider" and a happy family isn't exactly what she will be walking into. Here Bailey meets Kash who works for her father and we can see the sparks flying and I loved the banter between these two. With all the spare time on her hand and her skills, will she learn who is behind the kidnapping and then somehow find herself a pawn in a much bigger mobster war? Find out in this good start to a new trilogy by Tijan. The Insiders finishes on a cliffhanger ending but not one that leaves you gasping and tearing your hair out as the next book takes forever, but one that will leave you pondering till the next time we are reunited with the characters from The Insiders.

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...
