They're Watching You

Review: They're Watching You - Chelsea Ichaso - January 2023

One of the things I have always loved about being a book reviewer/blogger is that you get the perks of often receiving books months before their release date like this one for example. This was the second book of Chelsea Ichaso's that I have read and when I saw it come up after enjoying her book Dead Girls Can't Tell Secrets, I knew I wanted to read this one without a doubt. They're watching you is a twisted read of friendship and power as it takes you into the world of a few of my favorite tropes from wealthy boarding school novels, secret societies, and teen thrillers. The other thing was that as the book moved on it was about playing games and being the winner to succeed in life which gave the novel a feel similar for me to the movie Ready or Not / Games Night. The book starts with Maren's friend Polly going missing and Maren knows it is to do with this "secret society" that she got herself mixed up in. Maren manages to score herself an invitation and gets initiated, to find her friend. During this time, Maren will meet Remington who like Polly - his ex-girlfriend Jane has gone missing. The two of them will have to work together and against each other as they race against the Gamemaster's clock to find clues to save the ones they care for/love. What will happen though when they learn that everything they ever thought was true is just part of a giant game and with no clue how many teachers/ students are players - who can they trust when the world is watching them. One of my favorite quotes in this book was when they mentioned Pretty Little Liars as that is one of my all-time favorite YA Series. This book is the perfect YA read for fans of thrillers and secret societies.

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
