Review: Going Dark - Melissa De La Cruz - January 2023

One of my favourite authors is Melissa De La Cruz and so whenever she releases a new book, I decide to read it. Going Dark starts with the end of Josh and Amelia Ashley's trip in Europe and Josh on the plane home. Josh is confused as he hasn't seen or heard from Amelia at all and after their small fight at the cafe, he believes she has broken up with him, but he doesn't know why. When Josh arrives home, he also discovers his luggage has been lost. Amelia's friends start to get worried that something has happened to her while overseas and Josh is the main suspect in her disappearance. As Amelia is quite well-known on social media and with her social media now gone dark, the whole world is curious and the disappearance of Amelia Ashley has gone viral with the hashtag #whereisameliaashley. Amelia's friend Tori has hired Harper to try and find her friend, but when Harper starts her deep dive, she discovers that not only Amelia Ashley isn't who she says she is, neither is Josh Reuter and that in their former lives, they were connected but not in a good way. Who is Amelia Ashley and Josh Reuter and how are the current events connected to what happened years ago in a small town named Eureka? Going Dark by Melissa De La Cruz is a great YA thriller and fans of Karen McManus and Sara Shepard will enjoy it.

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
