Review: The Ninth Month - James Patterson and Richard DiLallo - August 2022

 As usual, I like to give the author writing with James Patterson a go, some are hits and others are misses. The Ninth Month was one of those hits. The book starts with introducing us to Emily who is an alcoholic and druggie, she also has no one really as her parents were always mainly focused on themselves and paraded Emily around when they needed a child or an accessory. They had their faults, but what worked for Emily was they were really wealthy and always provided financially for her. One day, she ends up in the hospital after a bad overdose and meets Beth - one of the nurses. The two become fast friends especially when they both learn that they are pregnant at the same time. For Emily, this is her first child but for Beth - it is her fourth.  As Emily hasn't been the most responsible with her body, Beth is there as her support person throughout the pregnancy. The book then flips to the present time and the ladies are eight months pregnant when Beth discovers that Emily is missing and is convinced something bad has happened to her as Emily did tell Beth that someone had been watching her, she just had no idea. With the police looking, Beth hopes they will find her before danger strikes but as the days go on and the police's priority of her disappearance slips, Beth will take matters into her own hands and try and track down Emily - dead or alive. What happens though when the two people that Beth and Emily thought they could trust turn out to be the villains they should be scared of? Will the pregnant mums survive the night to see their new babies born? Find out in this great thriller by James Patterson and Richard DiLallo.

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
