Review: Through His Eyes - Emma Dibdin - August 2018

2023 is here and therefore begins a whole new onslaught of books being read and reviewed. This author I hadn't heard of it before, but I was busy scrolling through the Libby App and looking at the new releases on the app and came across this book the cover caught my eye, and after reading the blurb, it sounded like something I would enjoy. Through His Eyes takes us on a journey into the life of Jessica who is originally from the UK and had dreams of becoming a famous entertainment journalist in LA. It hasn't been all sunshine and roses, as the job entails lots of late nights, random events, and freelance jobs nobody wants but it pays the rent. That is until she gets her first big scoop an interview with Clark Conrad. Clark is Hollywood's heartthrob and also a bit of an enigma as he doesn't normally do interviews. For Jess, this is not only a dream come true for her job but for her personal life too as Clark is one of her Hollywood idols. As the book goes along, Clark and Jessica become close and eventually start dating. However, Jess learns that the Clark to the world is very different from the one behind closed doors and when allegations of abuse come out, Jess starts digging and finds out about a slew of women, death, and then the real reason why his wife Carol and their daughter Sarah disappeared. Will Jess survive and be able to escape this world or will it end in a gunfight? Through His Eyes by Emma Dibdin was a good read into not only the world of digital journalism, influencers, and publicity for likes and mentions but also a warning to all to remember that celebrities that we see on screen acting are all a pretend and that it's not their real-life personalities and sometimes appearances can be deceiving.

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
