Review: The Silent Friend - Diane Jeffrey - November 2020

This book drew me in with the cover of the two women, despite how many times I try not to be a cover judger - I really do get drawn in by beautiful covers and sometimes the books are duds, or other times like The Silent Friend, they are a good read. This book starts with four friends who are librarians which I loved and they all love the same music. They decide to plan a trip to Lyon, France to see the sights and listen to their favorite Irish band play in concert. However, the trip will be one that Laura will never forget, and in a bad way too as that one night changed her forever. On the night of the concert, the hall was stormed by four terrorists who decided to shoot up the event. Laura and one of her other friends survived, the other two died. Laura always wonders why she managed to survive when her best friends didn't. To try and move on, Laura finds a message board that has posts of other victims and family members of the event and she starts chatting to one and it becomes a therapy of sorts. However, her friend on the other hand has a dark secret. Her son Zak was one of the terrorists and now her youngest son has also been arrested as part of a school shooting terrorism plan. Where did she go wrong with her boys? She has tried to raise them right and using the forum, she wants to understand and learn how her son was in those last few hours. As the friends get closer, Sandra plans to tell Laura the truth -but how will Laura react when she learns that the friend she has confided in was the one's mum who shot her friend in front of her eyes and held her hostage? Find out in this emotional thriller "The Silent Friend" by Diane Jeffrey.

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...
