Review: What Happened on Hicks Road ? - Hannah Jayne - August 2023


I had been looking forward to reading this book for a while now and finally got around to it as I love this author's thrillers. However, this one started with a bang as we have our main characters driving down a haunted road called Hicks Road when our main female Lennox hits something. She thinks it's a person but her friends swear it was a deer and an animal. The next day Lennox is back at school and still feeling like she hit a person, her friends though keep trying to change the subject and make it out like it's not a big deal. During the novel, Lennox meets Owen - a popular boy at school and he asks her out. Right through the whole novel, strange things start occurring with Lennox and she feels like she is going crazy. Especially more so, that her mum has been diagnosed with schizophrenia and it does start showing signs when you are in your teens. Lennox feeling that she is cray-cray takes up most of the novel like 80% of the book and it's not till the last 20% that the truth of what happened comes pouring out. I just feel that this had the thriller part rushed and jammed at the end of the book whereas it would have been better if maybe was 50/50. What Happened on Hicks Road? by Hannah Jayne for me was one of those weird reads that left me feeling WTF I just read. I will continue reading future books by Hannah Jayne as I do enjoy her reads overall despite this one giving me, We Were Liars feeling to it.

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
