Review: Her Last Summer - Emily Freud - April 2024

It seems lately that the popular theme in thrillers currently is that they are either based around a podcast or a documentary and they are all showcasing some case that was unsolved and happened about twenty years ago. In Her Last Summer, the book starts with two college graduates headed off before they start university to Thailand and off exploring the jungle. Twenty years ago Mari and her boyfriend Luke headed off for a gap time in Asia, exploring the sights and taking it all in before heading back home to University. The thing though is when the trip finished, only one came back home. Mari was nowhere to be found and Luke was accused of her murder, but of course No Body, No Crime played into this book and case. Now years later, Luke has contacted Cassidy Chambers who has just wrapped up another documentary where she managed to solve a cold case. He is willing to finally talk and get off his chest, the truth about what happened that Summer break. Things go steady and we see sparks fly between Luke and Cassidy, but when filming takes them to the jungle aka the scene of the crime - dark sides start appearing and soon Cassidy finds herself in danger and not knowing who exactly to trust. I have to admit, I did not see this crazy twist coming and the last half of this book was WOW and does make up for the slower first half.  Once they get to the Jungle, all the action and good twists and turns start happening. If you love unsolved cases and true crime documentaries, then check out Her Last Summer by Emily Freud today.

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
