Review: The September House - Carissa Orlando - September 2023

This book has been on my wishlist to read ever since I saw it on several Instagram pages, it just looked and sounded good and right up my alley. The September House reminded me of the books written by Riley Sager and Grady Hendrix. Those tales of horror and thrillers with a hint of supernatural.  It even in parts reminded of The Amityville Horror with the house being the cause of several deaths and murders. The book begins with Margaret and Hal finding their perfect house, a lovely old Victorian Home at a cheap cost. All is well until September hits and then the month of September is awful screaming and blood dripping down the walls as well as the ghosts come out to play. Then come October and everything resumes to normal. Life goes well and as long as they follow the rules all is well, until one day Hal has had enough of the ghosts, the craziness, and following the rules. He begs Margaret to leave, but she is stubborn and won't leave her house as she won't let the ghosts and Master Vale win. At the beginning of the new September, Katherine- their daughter calls and is very worried about her dad. Despite Margaret's protests she comes to search for her dad, what will happen though when Katherine discovers the truth about the house and everything inside? Will she just see her mum as crazy or will she be able to see everything and understand with her own eyes? What has happened to Hal and where is he hiding?  Find out in this fun, horror read - the perfect story to devour during Spooktober 2023.

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
