Review: The Follower - Koethi Zan  -February 2017

You know how sometimes you go into books with certain expectations and it falls flat, that is how I felt with The Follower by Koethi Zan. Before this book, I had read The Never List by Koethi Zan years ago and OMFG it was and still is to this day one of the best thrillers I have read, as I did not see the ending coming. So with that in mind, I was excited to read The Follower by Koethi Zan. Sadly, it didn't quite hit the mark and then to top it off the ending was very ambiguous and left up to the reader to decide what happens. It didn't leave me with any resolution and as I am a high-ending person, this didn't sit right with me either. The book follows Julie who had what she thought was a perfect life, she is then kidnapped by James and his wife Cora - they are religious nuts - more so James than Cora. We read as we hope that one day Julie will be saved and not meet the same fate as the other girls that were in her spot previously. The other storyline is Adam who was let go from the police force and is obsessed with a case that has been unsolved for twenty-plus years - the murders of three teens in Stillwater and the disappearance of fourteen-year-old Laura Martin. He has dedicated most of his career to solving this crime, but what will happen when he finally tracks down Laura Martin aka Cora and she doesn't want to be saved? She never truly was a missing person and not an innocent body like Adam believes. When it comes to the crunch, who will Adam save - Laura Martin or Julie Brockman? The Follower was an average cult thriller with abduction etc but not one I would rave home about and scream from rooftops unlike the book The Never List.

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
