Review: The Miller Women - Kelli Hawkins - April 2024

This book I had originally gotten from Netgalley, but since it was a "read on Netgalley Shelf" I didn't get a chance to read it before it expired. So I went onto the Libby app and downloaded it from the library. I had previously read Kelli's book Apartment 303 and loved it so was excited with this book, especially with the tagline of murder running in the family. I have to admit though that this book was quite a slow burn and in parts, I had to push my way through the story but in the ending, there were a few OMG twists that made up for the slow burn of the story and I loved all the little connections and six degrees of separation that the main characters had with one another. The Miller Women focuses on the stories of the three generations of Miller Women and three generations of Ross Women on the side and how their stories interweave with one another. We have our matriarchs, Joyce Miller and Trish Hopkins, then the second generation aka Mothers - Nicola Miller and Donna Ross, and then lastly the children - Abby Miller and Cara Ross. Each generation is hiding a dark secret and a murder. This is one thriller that shows that men should never scorn women as their wrath can be deadly and if you have love and a strong sense of family, then not even murder can break those love bonds and family ties. I am now looking forward to going back and reading Kelli's other title "Other People's Houses". If you are looking for a good strong female-led thriller, then The Miller Women is for you.

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

  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
