Review: Liar's Beach - Katie Cotugno - May 2023

This book had been on my Amazon wishlist and I belong to an Instagram group where you buy the person's birthday it is a book. This was my present from @what_sarahs_read. I had been looking forward to this YA Thriller as it was said to be a modern take on Agatha Christie's novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles which I have now to read on my Kindle as it was only 39c on Amazon Ebook- what a score. Liar's Beach is told from the male perspective of Michael Linden which was also a new take for me as I tend to read books that have the female as the lead character unless, of course, it's the Alex Cross series. Linden is on scholarship at his school and is friends with Jay. Jay invites him to his house in a setting like Martha's Vineyard for summer vacation. Looking forward to the break, Linden agrees as he even has the chance and opportunity to hook up with Jay's sister Eliza. All goes well, he even runs into an old childhood friend Holiday. Linden's mother is her family's housekeeper. That is until a mutual frenemy of Jay's family turns up lying in the pool and ends up in a medical coma. Who tried to kill him and now with everyone being a suspect even Linden, it gets him thinking especially with Holiday who is a modern female Hercule Poirot. Can Linden and Holiday discover the killer or will it end in broken relationships and friendships as the fingers are pointed at everyone?
Find out in this YA thriller Liar's Beach by Katie Cotugno - the perfect introductory read for those wanting to venture into the world of Agatha Christie.

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
