None Shall Sleep

Review: None Shall Sleep - Ellie Marney - September 2020

This book had captured my attention in the library from the cover. It's so simple yet it had a feel of the '80s and a horror/slasher theme to it. The year is 1982 and the FBI is in the early days of creating the BAU aka Behavioural Analysis Unit. From this, I knew I would love this book as one of my favorite TV shows was Criminal Minds which was based on the BAU and also, I love profiling in general and anything attached to the FBI and crime. The second thing that got me hooked on this book was that the FBI are wanting to interview teenage killers and to do that, they have hired two 18-year-olds Emma and Travis who have had their own past experiences with serial killers. So, the drawcard of teenagers as acting FBI agents was another reason, I wanted to read this book. None Shall Sleep takes us back to the year 1982 and currently, Emma and Travis have been tasked with interviews, that is until one of their interviews leads to a current case that has the FBI running around in circles as they can't seem to get a solid lead. Enter serial killer Simon Gutmunsson, this one is personal to Travis and he seems to have taken a liking for Emma. As Emma gets closer to Simon, is this his way of manipulating the FBI or does he have a hint of empathy towards Emma? Can Simon help the FBI and Emma/Travis by solving the identity of the Butcher of Berryville before it's too late and Emma finds herself once again in the clutches of a serial killer?

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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
