Review: Lock Every Door - Riley Sager - July 2019

After reading a few of Riley Sager's books and enjoying them, I decided to go back and read his earlier books. So far, I have ticked four off my list. Lock Every Door had a Stephen King feel to it. This book starts with Jules who is an orphan and all alone. Her sister Jane disappeared years ago and both her parents killed themselves. Her life has currently been on a downward spiral as on the same day she lost her job and was made redundant, she also discovered her boyfriend Andrew was cheating on her.  When Jules sees a classified Ad for an apartment sitter in the exclusive apartment building The Bartholomew, she believes her luck is finally looking up as for the three months, she is also offered $12,000. It's an offer she can't resist. When she moves in though, she is given a strange list of rules to follow and soon meets the other apartment sitters. All is good for a couple of days but then strange things start to happen and Jules's new friend Ingrid vanishes without a trace. This leads Jules to start exploring and she discovers that all of the previous apartment sitters had a few things in common- they all had no family, no ties and they are all now missing persons. As Jules does her research, she will learn all about a cult called The Golden Chalice and the dark history of the Bartholomew and if she's not careful, she might end up just like the other apartment sitters - missing and nowhere to be found. I am now looking forward to reading my next Riley Sager book which is The Last Time I Lied.

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...
