Review : Love Letters to A Serial Killer - Tasha Coryell - June 2024

After a string of failed relationships, a degree she doesn't use, and a dead-end job in a not-for-profit charity as she keeps getting passed over for promotions, Hannah feels like her life is terrible and has nothing to live and is drifting through life like a plastic bag in the wind. That is until one night, she sees a Facebook post about a girl who has gone missing. Hannah reshares the post and creates her own one and it goes viral. When the female turns up dead, Hannah again posts about it and ends up joining a few crime blogs and forums. She has finally found a community of like-minded people and she feels like she is finally doing something with her life, and helping people. The thing though as she continues, she also starts to drift away from her reality and soon her world is wrapped up in true crime, missing and murdered people. The police finally catch the killer and Hannah starts writing to him. Soon the pair become penpals and chat away via letters as he is currently in prison awaiting trial. When Hannah's job fires her, she ends up seeing this as a sign and heads to where the court trial is being held. She is supportive of William and in love with him. At the courthouse, Hannah meets William's family including his twin brother and soon though sparks fly between both siblings. Has Hannah fallen in love with the right brother when the truth is revealed, she will have to face the dark truth of did she fell in love with the fantasy and the reality isn't what she wanted after all. This fictionalized book reminded me of one of my favorite non-fiction books - The Last Victim by Jason Moss in which as part of his thesis, he wrote to a few serial killers pretending to be their perfect victim.

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

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
