Review: The It Girl - Ruth Ware - July 2022


Ruth Ware is one of those authors that I find a hit/miss author. Some of her books that I have read are good and I have loved them but others I couldn't get into and have ended up being DNFS. At this stage, I am about 50/50 as I have read six of her titles, and 3 have been amazing including The It Girl and 3 have been DNF. This one I knew I would love as the trope and storyline were ones that are a favorite of mine. The book starts with Hannah meeting her new roommate for college - April. The girls were different but became fast friends and all was great until one day, Hannah came home and found April murdered. The police arrested one of the elderly porters and now ten years later, he has died in jail. For the past ten years, he has always proclaimed he was innocent and now rumours’ have popped to the surface that proves that he was truly innocent. Hannah can't let this go if the wrong man went to jail, then who killed April is still out there walking free. Hannah's husband Will was April's boyfriend at the time and wants all this behind him but Hannah isn't going to stop till she has the truth, even if it means putting herself and her unborn baby in harm's way as she inches closer to revealing the true killer. This book kept me guessing till the end and I enjoyed this story as it also had a bit of crime journalism feel to the story as well.  The It Girl has put another Hit in Ruth Ware's column for me.

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
