Review: Safe in my Arms - Sara Shepard - July 2021

As soon as I saw that this author had released a new book, I knew I wanted to read it and I would enjoy it as I love everything by Sara Shepard ever since as in my late teens to early 20s, I discovered her Pretty Little Liars series. Safe in my Arms is set in the small town of Raisin Bay which is an elite community based around a preschool called Silver Swans. It's the first day of the new preschool year and we meet three mothers Andrea, Lauren, and Ronnie. All three of them connect at the breakfast and have children beginning at the preschool. Each of the mums also has secrets to hide. The book then jumps to each of the mothers’ receiving notes in their children's backpack, saying they aren't wanted here. All signs point to the principal Piper Jovan and so the girls go to investigate. During this investigation time, the women discover Piper on the ground surrounded by a pool of blood.  Soon, the three of them will be pulled into a police investigation and made to look like the prime suspects. Each one of the women though has something dark to hide from Ronnie with the truth about her daughter Esme, Lauren, and her fits of post-partum rage which we see her relationship involving bouts of gaslighting, and Andrea who was once a male and belongs to a ruthless family in New York and now living as a transgender female. Like always, Sara Shepard's mysteries take the readers on a wild ride as they pair up to not only solve the mystery of the notes but in doing so untangle the secrets of Silver Swans and Piper Jovan herself which will open Pandora's box for the parents of Raisin Bay.

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
