Review: Only Ever You - Rebecca Drake - March 2016

For me, 2023, is the year I am trying to focus on clearing my ebooks off my kindle, and even joined a few to tackle my TBR and Netgalley reading challenges. So far, they have been motivating in helping me achieve my goals. For example, this book I received this from Netgalley in 2016 and finally got around to reading it and clearing it off my shelf. This book had one of my favourite tropes - missing children. The first incident took place at the park, but Sophie was only gone for a few minutes. Now months later, Jill hasn't let her daughter out of her sight as she is afraid it will happen again. That's not the only thing that has changed, Sophie's personality is different- she is no longer the happy girl she was before the incident and her teachers have noticed a change. Jill knows something is off but can't put her finger on it, whereas her husband tells her she is overreacting.  A mother knows best and knows when something's not quite right. The thing we come to learn when Sophie is taken a second time is that Jill and David aren't Sophie's biological parents and that she was adopted as an infant. Has her birth family come for her? Only Ever You flicks between past/present in the form of diary entries and storytelling as we learn about Sophie's real mother and the lead-up to her birth and then the two sides of the coin - of Jill and David being questioned for Sophie's disappearance and then the story of who has Sophie and why?  Will Sophie be reunited with Jill and David or will she be lost forever?
Find out in this family drama saga that reminded me similar to authors like Jodi Picoult, Kristen Hannah, and Barbara Delinskey - Only Ever You by Rebecca Drake.

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
