Review: Do Not Disturb - Freida McFadden - September 2021

One of the authors that I have found that I have always enjoyed their thrillers is Freida McFadden, she is one of those authors that everyone would have heard of as in the past couple of years she popped up in the world and skyrocketed to rival James Patterson's books. In Do Not Disturb, this book reminded me a bit of Psycho with the whole Bates Motel theme. The book starts with Quinn killing her husband as it was either her or him and she knew she had to fight back as she wasn't planning to be the one leaving in a body bag. Turned out her husband was cheating on her, she just didn't know who, and now Quinn is on the run and stopped at a small motel in the middle of nowhere called Baxter's Motel. The motel is run by a husband-and-wife couple named Nick and Rosalie. Two years ago, a girl was murdered in Room 201 and Nick's wife became bedridden and spends her time watching the hotel rooms with her binoculars. She also believes that Nick killed that girl and that Quinn is in trouble, but turns out Quinn is in trouble not from who we all think it is. I have to say this book surprised me with the twist at the ending as I didn't see it coming but looking back it did make sense. It is the endings and the big reveals that make Freida McFadden's books so good as they always throw a giant spanner into the works and they will make you go back and think about what you read as all the pieces finally fall into place and you go as the reader - "of course, they were the killer". If you are a fan of psychological thrillers and have yet to explore Freida McFadden's other titles besides her popular "Housemaid Series", then what are you waiting for in my opinion, her other titles are much more twisted and suspenseful.

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...
