Review: The Lost Victim - Book #1 Ryan Strickland Series - Jennifer Hunter - May 2023

Over the past thirty years, a serial killer has been terrorizing the streets by snatching up females and then killing them. The thing though is that the FBI and law enforcement have no idea who they are looking for as they have never been able to get any solid leads. That is until now, in the form of a young female who has turned up at the police station. She has said one word - that she knows what happened to the current missing girl. Other than that, the girl has not said a single word. She has sat in complete silence and no matter how many times the police have gone at her, she remains mute. Stuck, the FBI contact Dr. Ryan Strickland for his help. Ryan is an FBI consultant and a psychologist and has been known to have a gentle touch with the younger witnesses and been able to get them to open up. Ryan meets the young female, a woman named Olivia who he finally learns, she is a victim herself and was kidnapped when she was a child and raised by the killer. He used her as a pawn and from the scars, he also abused her. For Ryan, this case is also very personal as we discover his sister Lisa was one of the killer's victims and finally, his family might be able to get closure. Can Ryan get Olivia to open up, so that they can deliver closure to lots of families, and what will happen when they learn that this killer had more victims than they ever knew? If you are looking for a good thriller then The Lost Victim is a good read, but at the same time - if you were looking for a happy-ever-after ending, then this isn't the thriller for you as compared to a lot of thrillers, this one doesn't end up happy reunions for families etc and ends in more death.

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
