Review: The Hiking Trip - Jenny Blackhurst - January 2023

This particular book caught my attention with the tagline first as it is the same tagline for the TV series "Pretty Little Liars". It also had a great premise for the book. The book starts with Laura hearing on the radio that bones have been found in the National Park and has been rumoured that they belong to a traveller that went missing twenty-five years ago aka Seraphina. This news takes Laura back twenty-five years when she went travelling herself on the hiking trail. The book then goes back twenty-five years and introduces us to Maisie - a young fresh-faced girl who decided on a whim to hike a trail and along the way met some interesting people including Sera and Rick as well as Mitchell who is now due to her testimony spending his life in prison for a murder he didn't commit. When Laura learns that Mitch has also been released from prison, she starts to worry especially when someone is coming after her family and children and threatening to break down the perfect life, she has created for herself as she even changed her name to get away from everything. I have to admit some of the characters I had an idea who they were from the beginning, but the other parts were a surprise with the twists and turns. I have to admit, I only half saw the ending coming and it surprised me. After reading this, I am now interested in reading and discovering Jenny's other books.  If you love past/present mysteries, secrets, and new identities then you will enjoy The Hiking Trip by Jenny Blackhurst today.

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...
