Review: Cover Story - Susan Rigetti - April 2022

As we watched in films like Catch Me If You Can to the documentary Inventing Anna, being a con artist is all about confidence and making sure that you don't falter and get your identity if you have multiple mixed up. The number one key as I said is confidence if you exude that then people will never think to question you.  In Cover Story, we first meet Lora who has just been given the amazing opportunity to become an intern at Elle Magazine. While at Elle Magazine, she meets Cat Wolff one of the editors and someone who exuded confidence. Cat Wolff as we learn is a con woman and has multiple identities and the FBI are closing in on her, but of course, she's been doing this for years and is always a few steps ahead of them. Cat decides to take an intern under her wing aka Lora and once the intern finishes, offers Lora, a job writing a book with her as she has "connections". Lora with no paid job and no home moves in with Cat and the pair gets very chummy together. However, things seem weird for Lora and the pair have a fight and then Cat's true identity is getting closer to being revealed as she doesn't realize that the FBI is right around the corner waiting for her to slip up. This was such an intriguing read and I have to admit even the ending left me blown away as you start to reconsider everything that you read in the second half of the novel and try to connect the dots. This book was an amazing read and insight into the world of a skilled con woman and as someone who loves true crime, it was right up my alley.  This book is perfect for fans of Catch Me If You Can, Inventing Anna, and The Talented Mr. Ripley with a touch of The Devil Wears Prada and any films that feature the Fashion World and Interns.

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
