Twisted Truth: A chilling contemporary Irish thriller

Review: Twisted Truth -Book #2 - Amy Cronin - September 2021


At the end of Book #1, we read as Anna's friend Kate had disappeared to France leaving behind a dead body and a tortured brother and a mess for the Gallagher family and also Anna had been the victim of a stalker/ assault. Anna also discovered some secrets about her parents and her best friend Vivian found her birth mother.  Now in Book #2 which picks up a few months after Book#1 finished and we learn that Kate is off in France with her sister Natalie and two children and David Gallagher is dead and John Gallagher was tortured but his home now, John's parents are struggling with Tom trying to get some order back on their operations and his wife Mae is depressed and turning to the bottle. His only solution is to track down Kate and Anna as an association and bring Kate's head on a platter for his wife. Meanwhile, Anna is about to get some bad news of her own as her attacker Dean is getting out of prison on a technicality as there was a mix-up with forensics and now their evidence isn't valid. Vivian is back home in Ireland after visiting her mother Brenda in New Zealand and life is perking up for her as she gets the job of a lifetime as a tv investigator. Meanwhile, Anna and Alex are closer to discovering the truth about their parents as well as what happened that fateful night ten years ago when they vanished without a trace leaving the pair orphaned and confused.  We also have two more storylines of a new pair of serial killers who are using famous killers as their pseudonyms and filming their crimes and the book travels back to the year 1978 when Michael and Yelena first met and what led to their disappearances and name changes.  I have to admit, Amy Cronin did a good job with this book as though it is a busy novel with several storylines, it doesn't feel it for the reader and so it is easy to stay on track and follow the book as a whole and I look forward to reading more adventures of the Garda and the characters as the book sets up a new storyline of Dean and Anna.

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...
