Review: The Lying Club - Annie Ward - March 2022


This past week I have just felt so flat when it has come to my reading, after managing to read 9 books in the first 10 days of the year - I was excited that I was on a bit of a roll, and then out of nowhere - I felt myself in a bit of a slump as the next handful of books I tried since Monday were DNFs- I couldn't get into anything as nothing was grabbing me. Often when this happens, I find myself needing something gritty like a mystery. The Lying Club has been one I have been wanting to read as it sounded right up my alley. This book once finished it reminded me heavily of the story Big Little Lies as it seemed a conspiracy, an all-for-one pact around the murder of an individual. The book starts the day of the murder and Natalie wakes up in her school carpark. She goes to the gym and sees a dead crumpled body. The book then flashes back and leads up to this moment. During the flashbacks we meet the other main players of the book - Asha who sells Real Estate, is pregnant and thinks her husband is cheating on her and has two children Oliver and Mia, Brooke - she thinks she is all that and is currently separated from her husband Gabe and has a daughter Sloane, Brooke is also a bit of a cougar and likes everything to be hers, Nick Maguire who is the school's hottie Coach for Soccer in which Sloane and Mia play and last but not least Natalie who is the School's Admin lady.  In The Lying Club we have Sloane and Mia who are top soccer athletes and whose parents have paid for them to have private lessons with Nick but when scandals and moodiness start to happen, has Nick been doing more than teach Soccer? Natalie is young and pretty and has a Klepto problem but has she finally found a HEA with Nick or was he using her like everyone else? Asha is pregnant and feeling like her family is distancing themselves away from her, can Asha save her family before it's too late? Brooke is all too consumed with appearances, can she put her opinions aside before her daughter is marked with scandal and peer pressure? Nick has everyone eating out of the palm of his hands but what will happen when his dark secrets start to bleed into his facade as the great and caring Coach Nick Maguire? The Lying Club is perfect for those edgy psychological thriller readers as The Lying Club has got something for everyone from drugs, lies, secrets, cheating, and sexting pictures.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
