Review: Zero Days - Ruth Ware - June 2023

For me personally, when it comes to Ruth Ware's books - she is a hit/miss author. Before reading this book, I had tried six of her titles three I enjoyed and three were DNFS. This now puts her hits in the lead and the funny thing is with the books I have enjoyed, they have been really good reads. This one first grabbed me with the blurb as it talked not only about Agatha Christie and the movie Mr. and Mrs. Smith, which is one of my favourite films with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie. In Zero Days, Jack Stone and her husband Gabe work as what is known as Penetration testers. Gabe does the computing side and Jack - does the action side and people side. They are hired to test the company's security. On the night of their latest job, everything goes wrong with Jack and she finds herself - stuck at the police station. She rings home and no one answers, this feels odd. When she arrives home, her whole life comes crashing to a halt as she finds her husband dead and Jack is now the prime suspect. Someone has gone to a great deal of complexity to make Jack look like she murdered her husband. Now with only a week to find out who killed her husband as the police aren't looking elsewhere, Jack must look at the clues and present them with another suspect. What happens though when the suspect is closer to her home base than she realizes and if she's not careful - she might either find herself not only behind bars or worst - murdered like her husband. If you love action and adventure and books like The Bourne Series by Robert Ludlum, then you will enjoy Zero Days by Ruth Ware.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
