Vanished (Callahan & McLane, #1)

Review: Vanished - Book #1 Callahan and McLane Series - Kendra Elliot - June 2014

Scrolling through my kindle looking for a book to reach my 350th read for the year, I came across a mystery read from Kendra Elliot as she is one of my favorite indie mystery female authors. I have read a few later books that featured Mason Callahan and Ava McLane and Vanished it shows how the two characters met.  One of Mason's CI has just been murdered and during the investigation, he gets a call from his ex-wife Robin. She needs his help as her stepdaughter Henley has been abducted on her way to school this morning. Mason arrives and the FBI is there and here he will become the family liaison and he will meet Ava who will be one of the main FBI agents on the case. As the book goes along though, it looks like someone might be targeting the family as Mason's son Jake ends up also getting abducted.  However, Mason is dealing with his problems as someone is going out of their way to set Mason up for the murder of his CI. Who hates Mason this much? In later books, we read about the dynamics between Ava and her twin sister Jayne and in Vanished - we catch a glimpse of Ava and Jayne's personalities and how opposites the girls are. If you love mysteries, FBI, and crime novels and enjoy authors like Melinda Leigh and Melinda Woodhall, then you will enjoy Kendra Elliot's stories.  The other thing I do enjoy is that even though her books are part of a series, each story can be read as a stand-alone thriller.

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
