Review: The Break - Daniel Hurst - March 2022

2022 for me has been mainly the year of the thrillers as I have been finding a lot of romance just blah and I can't seem to get into it. As I was scrolling through my kindle, The Break by Daniel Hurst jumped out at me. In The Break, we meet Karen whose relationship has been on the rocks since her husband Peter had an affair and Karen overwhelmed with her children is teetering on the edge. She wants things to go back to normal, but what is normal anymore? When Karen's new friend tells her about a cute Air BnB, she books it and has a nice night away just by herself until she misses her family and heads back home. The whole break though looks like it has been set up as Karen's new friend Eve isn't who she says she is and the Air BnB is the house of the woman who Peter had an affair with. We learn that the woman who Peter had an affair with was weak and committed suicide and now her best friend who we know as Eve wants revenge and so she starts her massive elaborate plan to take everything Peter loves which is his family starting with his wife Karen so he too will know the meaning of loss. This book reminded me a bit of the book The Escape Room by Megan Goldin when an act of revenge was plotted out against those that had hurt the main character's friend.  The Break by Daniel Hurst was a good UK brit lit fiction in which despite its slow-paced ness which the British are famous for, the book still kept my attention and I love the twists and turns and couldn't wait for the big reveal.

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
