Review: The Bridal Party - JG Murray - March 2019

I was in a bit of a slump this morning as I tried at least four books and nothing was grabbing me at all, I was about to give up when I figured I would give The Bridal Party a go as I love these revenge-type stories where one by one dies or something similar happens and a nasty truth is revealed. This book starts ominously with a blood-dripping suitcase appearing on the airport baggage claim and then jumps to the present time where it is Clarisse's Hen Party, she is getting married and her maid of honour has booked a weekend away and a murder mystery evening for Clarisse and her friends. All seems well until the Maid of Honour suddenly vanishes and the friends discover their costumes have been changed and things seem a little tense in the air as they have been cut off from civilization. As the evening progresses, we learn that Clarisse was engaged once four years ago when her fiance Noah vanished without a trace, now she is getting married to James - a nicer guy but the Clarisse, they knew before Noah is gone. During the evening strange things occur and the girls know that somebody out there knows all about their camping trip four years ago and the last time they all saw Noah. For four years, Clarisse's friends have been keeping a dark and deadly secret and now it looks like someone or a group of people are desperate to expose their secrets and paint them in a bad light if they aren't careful, they might not survive the night. I have to admit I saw half of the twist coming but the complete picture surprised me and I went from feeling sorry for one of the characters to absolutely hating them by the end of the book as it turned out they were a manipulative vindictive cow. If you love revenge trope stories, scavenger hunts, and murder mysteries then The Bridal Party by JG Murray is the read for you.

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...
