Review : The Housemaid - Book #1 The Housemaid Series - Freida McFadden - April 2022

Previously, I had read a few of Freida's standalone books which I have enjoyed and I had the first two of this series on my bookshelf. This is one of her books that has been very popular and at first I was a tad nervous to pick it up as I wasn't sure what my reaction would be as the last one of this author's I tried The Co-worker ended up being a DNF.  The Housemaid starts with a young woman fresh out of prison and she applies for a job as a live-in maid for a wealthy family. At first appearances, this job looks too good to be true and soon Millie will understand as when she turns up on the first day, the house is a pig sty, and Nina - doesn't look anything like the woman that interviewed her. This looks like Nina's unhinged crazy twin sister. As the book goes along, Millie almost quits a few times as she not only discovers that Nina Winchester has a Dr Jekyll /Mr Hyde personality but their daughter also is a little liar and hates Millie. The husband on the other hand, though seems sad is Mr. Perfect in Millie's eyes - Andrew Winchester. The thing though is that this family has a dark secret and unfortunately Enzo the Gardener hasn't done his best to warn off Millie. You see the perfect family isn't exactly perfect on the inside as Millie starts to get close to Andrew which forces Nina to leave. I shall leave the review here as Part #2 of the story is a twist that makes this book all worth the while reading and also sets up the premises for the rest of the series as though the Winchesters had their problems, they underestimated what type of things Millie will do in the face of danger. I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 The Housemaid's Secret by Freida McFadden.

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

A Love Letter From Emily White - Author

A Love Letter from Emily White to her Readers: It's a month for love and there's nothing I love more about the publishing life than meeting new readers. That's why, a few months ago, I made a pretty huge announcement. I doubt it had any far-reaching effects. And I seriously doubt many people even heard about it. But I want everyone to know: After doing ALL the things and checking off ALL the lists, I never really felt like I'd accomplished anything in my career. I'd grown up dreaming about signing a contract with a publishing company, and I did that. But after that was done, I dreamt about the next contract, and having my books read around the world, and maybe hitting a bestseller list. And I did all that. But still not so much happiness. I had moments of happiness. Of absolute joy, even. And it hit me last November that those moments came when I was meeting new readers or getting emails from them. They came in certain minutes of the day when a
