Review: Everyone Here is Lying - Shari Lapena - July 2023

I'm in two minds with this book and how I feel about it as I had seen quite a few people raving about Shari Lapena's books on Instagram and so I figured as it did sound like a good read, to give it a go. The book starts with Dad William having an affair with Nora - a family who happens to live down the street from them. The family supposedly don't know each other which was the first red flag as isn't American streets supposed to know your neighbors as the book goes on every family in this street will become intertwined and definitely by the end of the story all because of one little girl will get to know one another. William's youngest daughter Avery is a handful and after he's had a bad day as Nora has ended their affair, he comes home to his daughter who just pushes one too many buttons and he lashes out. William leaves and then he returns home to police officers and his family in hysterics as Avery has gone missing. Did she run away or has someone kidnapped her? Soon Ryan who is Nora's oldest son ends up as one of the prime suspects, does Ryan even know who Avery is, or has someone else on the street put a plan in motion to get revenge on both William and Nora by attacking them where it hurts - their children? Or is it a whole different situation? This thriller was a connect-the-dots book and one that had a strong unreliable narrator theme to it. What happens when everyone has secrets and something to hide? What happens when the lies won't save you and someone has to start telling the truth? Find out in this family thriller, Everyone Here is Lying where you as the reader, decide who is telling the truth and who exactly is a liar, liar pants on fire.

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...
