Review: Killer Content- Kiley Roache - November 2021

I was captivated by the cover of this book as I love my YA thrillers. Reading this book reminded me of the book One of Us is Lying as we meet a group of TikTok influencers who have over the summer decided to spend summer break in a house and film from there. We have six students from all walks of life with one thing in common - they all have high views on TikTok.  All goes well until two of the Tiktoker's end up in a massive fight and Sydney walks out.  Now, Cam, Gwen, Tucker, Ben, and Kat are waiting for Sydney to head back home but what happens when one morning they all wake up to find Sydney's body face down in the swimming pool with a bullet hole in the side of her head? All of them are a suspect especially when a video about the murder comes out from their account. With each of them hiding secrets and trying to keep the facades up for the world - will each of them slowly crumble? Who killed Sydney or is something more sinister at play? Killer Content is set in the world of social influencers and perfect for the teen audience today and for those of us readers in our mid 30's who might not have read One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus, the book also reminded me of Ben Elton's book -Dead Famous which was set in a Big Brother type reality show and set around a contestant being found murdered. I have always loved this type of theme for books and as I said this is the perfect YA thriller for any social media fan who loves reading. I also liked the new title change as was originally going to be called “Murder at Hype House” but Killer Content sounded catchier.

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
