Never Play Fair (Sydney Evans #2)

Review: Never Play Fair - Book #2 Sydney Evans Thriller - Leah Cupps - September 2022


Sydney Evans is back again and this time she may be unharmed physically, but truth be told she is still suffering from PTSD and a whole lot of traumatic baggage, and sadly in her personal life too as her grandmother has died, one of her best friends is now no longer talking to her and the other is dead. Her ex-husband came back from the dead, her ex-brother-in-law killed her best friend and tried to murder her and her other friend and now her new boyfriend FBI agent Alex Birch is MIA after being sent on a mission to Costa Rica.  All Sydney wanted was to curl up at home and be cut off from the world, but when she arrives home the FBI is waiting for her. They need her to contact Jack and help her locate Alex. Sydney is then thrust back into a world; she had hoped to never be a part of again and made to do things to survive. I have to admit I didn't care much for any of the other characters including Alex. I just felt so much for Sydney, as they are making her relive the pain over and over again and messing with her emotions and feelings, not to mention putting her in an impossibly dangerous situation with her already-developed diagnosis of PTSD. Crazy right? I do hope they leave poor Sydney alone after this or she may just be like her namesake Sidney Prescott from the Scream, where the nightmare just is never-ending and no matter how hard she tries to run from it, they just keep pulling her back into the mix of things. Never Play Fair, book #2 was another action-packed read that kept the reader intrigued as the pages were one bang after another. I now have the prequel of this series to read and looking forward to it as hoping to have a bit more of an insight into Jack and Sydney's marriage before it went South and Jack faked his death.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
