Review: Lying in the Deep - Diana Urban - May 2023

One of my favorite genres is thrillers and this one caught my attention with the cover. Set on a cruise ship, we meet Jade who has signed up for a learning experience called Campus on Board. She had planned the year before with her former roommate and boyfriend to do this with them. However, during the summer break - she got a text message dumping her from her boyfriend Silas that he was now with Lainey- her former roommate and now ex-best friend. What happens though when Jade discovers that both of them are now on the ship together? Jade tries to talk to them, but they continue to ghost her. She is confused about what happened during the summer internship. This continues until one night, there is blood all over Lainey's room and Lainey has disappeared. Has someone killed Lainey and why? Jade finally gets to talk to Silas, but things aren't adding up and she soon discovers that Lainey lied to the both of them and why? Also, Jade will learn another dark side about Silas and wonder if she is better off without him and did he kill Lainey. Lying in the Deep by Diana Urban was a good YA thriller and reminded me of a teen version of Agatha Christie's Death on the Nile story. This was the second YA thriller I have read from Diana Urban and I continue to look forward to reading her future novels.

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...
