Review: Silent Sister - Megan Davidhizar - August 2024

Lately, I have felt in a bit of a reading slump and needed something exciting to read and I often find that mysteries and thrillers are a great go-to when feeling this way. August for me has been a quiet-ish reading month, but in one way being without my e-reader for most of the month, it has helped me clear a few more books off my bookshelf including Silent Sister which was gifted to me from HarperCollins NZ. This YA edgy thriller starts with two sisters who are what we call "Irish twins" - being close enough in age, but not twins. Maddy and Grace, because of their ages, are in the same year at school, and this year both celebrating their senior year. Maddy is the "quiet twin" who loves reading and writing poetry and Grace is the "loud outspoken twin" the one who is sporty and popular. One sister wants to fit in and just wants to be seen and the other is living a facade and needs the social world to never see what she is like. What happens though when a senior trip ends up with both sisters going missing and only one returning. Unfortunately for Grace, she has amnesia and with everyone's stories, it looks like she is the main suspect -but she loves her sister and wouldn't hurt her. What happened that fateful night and can Grace get to the bottom of it? I will finish here, but saying this book was a great read and had an OMFG twist at the end and is perfect for fans of Megan Lally, Karen M. McManus, and Sara Shepard's YA reads.

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
