Review: After That Night - Book #11 Will Trent Series - Karin Slaughter - July 2023

I have to admit that when it comes to Karin Slaughter's titles in the past I have been on the fence about reading her books, as years ago I tried a couple and I just couldn't get into them. However, after reading "After That Night" my mind has been changed as this book was great and kept my attention from the first page. It has also made me when I visited the local secondhand bookshop yesterday pick up a couple of Karin Slaughter's titles and I do know I have a few on my Kindle to read too. The other thing I did enjoy was the fact that I didn't have to read the previous books to get to know the main characters as you could pick up this one and slot right in with the Will Trent and Dr. Sara Linton storyline. The book starts with "three years ago" when Dr. Sara Linton is working in the ER and a young girl named Dani comes in- she has been raped and left to die. Sadly efforts fail and she ends up dead. Before she died, Dani made her promise to stop him. The "him" ends up being Tommy McAllister - son of Mac and Britt. Sara has a history with his parents as she went through medical school with them both and Mac was her medical rival. Sara hung around the same crowd. Fast forward three years and Sara is testifying in the court case and she is also now engaged to Detective Will Trent. After court, Sara runs into Britt in the bathroom and she tells Sara that her rape was connected to this one. This unravels and starts Sara along with Will and Faith on an investigation of their own as they learn that there have been multiple rapes and that indeed Sara's was connected. Can the team learn the truth and stop others from being targeted and hurt? Find out in After That Night by Karin Slaughter, an edgy thriller that has now inspired me to check out Karin Slaughter's backlist of titles.  Thanks, @HarperCollinsNZ for providing me with a copy of this book to read and review.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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
