Review: Two Dead Wives - Book #2 DCI Clement Series - Adele Parks - August 2023


When I first read the front page of this book, the character name Kylie Gillingham sounded familiar and then I clicked that this book was a sequel to Women Last Seen which was when we saw Fiona kill her best friend Kylie who was living a double life - one as Leigh and the other as Kai. Leigh was a stepmother to two boys and lived a homely life, but as Kai, she was a single woman and married to a rich wealthy husband. Her lives were completely different and she ran in different circles. That was until her friend Fiona got jealous and took matters into her own hands. Kylie's husband Kai is the main suspect, but Mark's sons Oli and Seb are about to discover the dark truth about Fiona and Kylie and learn what happened and where Kylie is. The other storyline that runs through this book is Stacie who we learn has amnesia, she can't remember her life but has these fleeting memories. Who is Stacie and how does she connect to Kylie? What dark secrets is Stacie's dad Kenneth hiding as we learn the connections in the last few chapters between Kylie and Stacie? I would say overall that this is a good thriller, but only read it if you have read the first book otherwise, you will be feeling confused as you try and connect the dots in this giant web of deceit. I do find Adele Parks, a hit/miss author for myself but the DCI Clements series is definitely hit-worthy for readers who love missing people, double lives, and family stories.

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
