Review: The Secrets We Buried - Becca Day - September 2023

Traveling back on the bus from Auckland after a busy weekend, I was in the mood for a bit of a thriller and hopped on my Libby App and clicked on The Secrets We Buried by Becca Day. I hadn't heard of this author, but the book sounded interesting and I enjoyed it, so will be checking out her other thrillers. The book starts with a funeral and Frankie has returned to Millionaire's Row. Five years ago, after her friend died Frankie and her family moved away for a fresh start. She knows she shouldn't have come back, but Zara was once her best friend and her mum was someone Frankie respected. Frankie's visit though coincides with someone else - Juniper Rose. She is a YouTuber and True Crime aficionado and aims to solve the murder of Geneva Lee. Geneva made up the foursome friend circle that included Frankie, Zara, and Nadine. That night, Geneva died - the friends made a pact to never talk about it and act like they didn't see her lying on the beach. You see Geneva loved secrets and used them to blackmail people. Each of the friends had a dark secret that they never wanted to get out and with Geneva dead, their secrets would be taken to the grave. However, with the new videos - their dirty laundry and deepest darkest secrets are about to be revealed to the world as Juniper has an inside source. Who else knew their secrets besides Geneva? Geneva's husband Elliot was accused of murdering her and has just returned to tell his side of the story. If Elliot is innocent, then who killed Geneva and are they too back in Millionaire's Row? Find out in this fast-paced thriller by Becca Day with an ending that surprised me and will leave you going WTF OMG as well and aah as the book ends.

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.

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...

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.

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...
