The Lake


Review: The Lake - Natasha Preston - March 2021


One of my favorite YA Horror readers is Natasha Preston as her books are similar in style to the 90'/00's Christopher Pike/ Lois Duncan style where they are reminiscent of movies like Scream, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc. In The Lake by Natasha Preston, we meet Esme and Kayla who are best friends and ten years ago were campers at Camp Pine, and after that summer vowed never to go back and buried the incident - blood pact and all. Now Ten years later, the girls received brochures in the mail welcoming them back to Camp Pine with the threat, that they better be there or else. Esme is a bit more anxious as she believes someone else knows what happened and is ready to spill the beans whereas Kayla is not worried one bit and wants to spend the summer enjoying herself and hooking up with a cute guy. However, what will happen though when strange things start happening at the camp and then their fellow counselors start to notice threats and the camp find themselves torn to go to the police or stay quiet and handle it on their own. Has someone come back for revenge on not only Kayla and Esme but some of the other counselors who wronged them in the past? I also loved this book as the tagline read "The Lake never Forgets" and had a feel of Friday the 13th meets AHS 1984.

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...
