Review: The Only Survivors - Megan Miranda - April 2023

Years ago, I read a couple of Megan Miranda's books and enjoyed them - though overall I do find this author a hit/miss for me. In The Only Survivors by Megan Miranda, we meet a group of classmates who were thrown together after a tragic accident that killed the majority of their classmates when two of the vans drove off the road - ten years ago.  Every year since the accident during the week of the accident - the survivors - there are now 7 of them get together as they made a pact never to talk about the accident and to check in with each other once a year. They stay at a beach house owned by survivor Oliver King.  The tenth anniversary though won't be like others as now there are two dead - Clara and Ian, Amaya is missing after she storms out and Cassidy can't help but think that the group is hiding secrets especially since she was lured to the beach house by a random text message. Who wants the whole group there and during this time, we learn that members of the group have been targeted to find out what happened that night? Who else knows about what went on? Was there another survivor they didn't know about? Can The Only Survivors survive the night as deep dark secrets about all their roles in the tragedy slowly leak out over the week? The Only Survivors was written in a past/present timeline and fans of Riley Sager's books will enjoy Megan Miranda's stories. The Only Survivors also makes a good read for Spooktober where I have aimed to read mostly thriller/horror reads. I am now looking forward to going back through Megan Miranda's booklist and trying the ones I haven't explored.

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
