Review: Nobody But Us - Laure Van Rensburg - April 2022

I have been meaning to read this one for a while now as I had it on hold on my Libby app, however, I only get a chance to read that on the weekends and the last couple of weekends for me have just been so crazy busy, I haven't had a chance to read. That changed this morning when I made sure I sat and read the entire book - it only took me just under an hour and 1/2 to read, so not a huge chunk of my time but I could relax and read with no interruptions. The book starts with our prologue of someone we know as Anonymous - writing about her encounters with a man. The book then jumps to Ellie and her boyfriend Steven going away to a cabin in the woods for their 6-month anniversary. As the book goes on, we do get hints that Steven isn't faithful and has had a few affairs with her students and likes them young, with the whole teacher/student relationship going on. The story progresses as we have one chapter of the present with Ellie/Steven and then diary entries of our "Anonymous Female". All goes well until their trip turns into a nightmare which we read from the opening police scene. It looks like someone from Steven's past has come back to bite him on the tushy and isn't going away until he pays for what he has done, even if that means destroying what he has with Ellie.
I have to admit, I didn't see this coming until I started reading more and working people out and then understood. Nobody But Us is a revenge thriller and does include age-gap romance, grooming, and cheating.

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...
