Review: The Engagement Party - Darby Kane - December 2023

One of my favorite authors that I enjoy whether she is writing romance under her real name of Helen Kay Dimon or if she is writing thrillers under the pen name Darby Kane. I have enjoyed both genres of books and love this author's work. The Engagement Party had me excited as it's one of my favorite premises in books and often it can either fail or work The Engagement Party worked as it brought other angles of the story out into the open and twists and turns and hidden secrets. For the main storyline, it happens twelve years ago when a group of friends went out one night and one of them never returned- Emily. Her body was later found dead in the river. Everybody in the group stuck to their story and a college classmate was arrested and later killed himself. The friends went their separate ways still staying a little bit in touch but not so close as they were afraid if they spent time around one another, their secrets would be revealed. One of the friends Will is getting married and has invited his friends to an Engagement Party on an island in a big house.  However, the bride has other plans as she wants the dark truth exposed about what happened to Emily and she is willing to make it happen this weekend. However, as the night progresses - someone else is on the island and they aren't willing to play as nicely for the truth if nobody confesses - then slowly one by one will be killed and the weekend will end in a bloodbath.  If you love revenge stories like I Know What You Did Last Summer and Scream, then you will enjoy Darby Kane's The Engagement Party. It will be one Engagement Party, you won't want to miss.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
