Review: Win, Lose , Kill, Die - Cynthia Murphy - January 2022

I have always been a fan of boarding school mysteries and YA thrillers and this one was another great read. I hadn't read anything by this author before, but now she is one to keep an eye out on. The book starts with a head girl of a secret society Jewel and Bone being found dead in the lake - Morgan. It was ruled as an accident, but now with the new year - the replacement Head Girl has gotten a note that says it wasn't and she is next. Is this a threat to pay attention or is someone missing from the secret society? When more students die and it feels like the role of head girl is cursed, who will be next and will they want to step up for the role? This was one book where at the beginning I had an idea, but then it started to change about halfway through and then when the killer was revealed finally at the end - it was like, of course, I was right all along.  Cynthia Murphy though, proved that she is a great author as a great book and writer is one where you think you know but due to the story - you begin to doubt yourself. If you love YA boarding school mysteries and thrillers, then don't forget to check out Win, Lose, Kill, Die by Cynthia Murphy with the Christmas break coming up and most people on holiday, this is when the Libby App becomes the place to read and you can borrow for free great YA thrillers like this one.

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...
