Two for Joy (The Magpie Society, #2)

Review: Two For Joy - Book #2 The Magpie Society - Zoe Sugg and Amy McCulloch - October 2021


Audrey and Ivy are back with this mystery YA series The Magpie Society picking up where they left off at the end of Book #1 One For Sorrow. The Samhain party has happened and there was the Magpie flash mob and their friend Clover has vanished. For those who haven't read the series - a girl Lola went missing in the first book and was found murdered and Clover started a podcast to draw out the killer. In Book #2 Clover was getting close and now has found herself a victim to the killer. Audrey and Ivy with the help of Clover's roomies are more than determined now to find out what Clover knew and track down the mysterious Magpie Society which was rumored to have disbanded in the 1970s. Like the first book, Two for Joy sets the girls on a hunt for clues as they try to track down their many leads but what happens when they discover the headquarters of the Magpie Society and in doing so not only learn the truth about plans that are happening to the school but a bit about each other's families which will lead to a bit of divide in the ranks. I did enjoy the twists and turns of this series and Book #2 but again like in my review of All Your Fault was left a bit let-down by the ending when the true killer and truth was revealed as you have to think, that people must have seen what has been happening and stepped in and we were also left with unanswered questions - like what happened to Alicia back in Georgia? How did she die and why were Audrey and her family involved besides Audrey being best friends with Alicia? I also had hoped for a bit more of why Ivy's mum thinks she shouldn't have friends and why she told Audrey to be careful and watch herself and where has Ivy been going all these past breaks? Overall, though other than a few unanswered questions - Two for Joy - The Magpie Society was a good YA Thriller and conclusion to an edgy YA boarding school duet by Youtuber influencer Zoe Sugg and author Amy McCulloch.

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
