Review: The Window - Amelia Brunskill - April 2018


I have been loving this library app known as Libby. It has given me the chance to discover some great new authors and books that I might not have had the chance to be exposed to, like The Window by Amelia Brunskill. One of my favorite genres I love to read is Thrillers and I love books about twins. The Window had both of these as this book was not only a YA thriller but featured identical twins Anna and Jessica. In The Window, Anna was the outgoing twin, and Jessica - was a little awkward and introverted. Reading this book, I got the impression that Jessica was on the Autism/ Asperger’s spectrum. The book starts with Jess being pulled out of class and told that her twin sister has died. Everyone thinks it was suicide but Jess knows that Anna would never kill herself and now she is on a mission to discover what happened to her sister. However, as Jessica starts to retrace her sister's steps, will she like what she finds as she discovers that maybe she didn't know Anna as well as she thought she did and that Anna had been hiding secrets from her.  In discovering the truth, we also watch Jess start to make friends and get involved and out of the shadows.  I have to admit, I felt a little let down by the ending when the truth was revealed as it felt that the main suspect was just let off with a warning. I do have to admit this book's ending reminded me of One Year Gone by Avery Bishop with it unravelling to the truth and it does become quite busy with lots of different characters playing a part in the incident.

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
