Review: The Summer She Disappeared - Carissa Ann Lynch - February 2023

One of my favourite suspense authors and one that I read everything she releases is Carissa Ann Lynch who funnily enough I discovered through another author whom I followed as Carissa at the time was published under her agency. I fell in love with her books and continued to follow her writing I have enjoyed all of her books and her latest one The Summer She Disappeared was no different. The other thing I loved about this particular book is that it follows one of my favourite tropes of a past/present mystery. Willow Roberts is back in the town her family used to summer in as they owned a lake house. With both of Willow's parents now deceased and recently divorced from her ex-husband she has decided to come back and renovate the Lake House to either live in or sell. It has been twenty years since she was last here, that was also the summer her best friend Ruthie disappeared without a trace. What happens though when one of the builders calls her and she finds a body in the closet at her Lake House? The body matches the description of Ruthie, the day she vanished. On closer inspection, something is not quite right and so begins a journey for Willow to track down what happened that Summer, face some old memories, and discover the truth of where Ruthie, or at the very least, killed her. I do have to admit, I was slightly disappointed with the ending when we do find out about Ruthie as it seemed rushed for me as did the part where Willow comes back twenty years later face to face with Ian Ashcroft. However, overall, this was another great read and a thriller/author I recommend to be added to your reading lists.

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
