Review: Listen for The Lie - Amy Tintera - March 2024

This particular title had been talked about on Bookstagram and shared and it had captured my attention as I do love my crime thrillers and talking about cold cases and unsolved murders. Five years ago Lucy had it all, a handsome husband, a nice house, and her best friend Savvy. That was until the night after a wedding that Savvy was murdered and Lucy was found wandering down the road with amnesia. People assumed that Lucy had killed her best friend and then got away with the murder. The truth was that Lucy doesn't remember anything about that night, but knows for sure she would never have hurt her best friend. Now five years later, a podcaster Ben has swept into town and is aiming to discover the truth about what happened and gain some closure not only for Savannah's family but also to get justice, even if that means taking Lucy down and opening old wounds in town. As the podcast goes along, we see different sides of the townspeople and learn some interesting secrets about Lucy's family. I have to say though one of my favourite characters in this book was Lucy's 80-year-old Grandma. She reminded me of Grandma Mazur from the Stephanie Plum books by Janet Evanovich. As the book goes along, affairs are revealed, secrets and lies and it does show that nobody knows what goes on behind closed doors, and often people are just skilled at hiding their true colours from the world. Listen for the Lie by Amy Tintera was one of those hyped books that did not disappoint.

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
