Review: If You Can Hear This - Faith Gardner - November 2024

I always get excited when authors who I have loved and enjoyed previously release new titles as you await in anticipation with the hopes that they will be just as good as the previous releases you have read from the author. If You Can Hear This was a great read in the fact that I didn't see the twists coming, but the downside for me was that I felt I didn't have closure with this book when the mystery was solved and I felt the theme of the book wasn't as detailed as it could have been. With podcasts and interviews and the world of social media now being the most common method to solve unsolved cases and missing people, it made sense that Faith used that as the basis of the thriller. Posey Spade and her dad have just moved to a new small town as her father is taking over as Editor/ Chief of the local newspaper and Posey is following in his footsteps by being on the school paper and breaking those big stories. The downside is that her new school doesn't have a newspaper and the closest thing that they have to journalism is an AV club that spends their time watching documentaries and talking about them. When their teacher advisor goes missing, the town believes she has just up and left but the students of the AV Club aren't convinced and Posey has the initiative to help solve the crime and find their teacher using their AV club skills and resources. During the book Posey and her team will interview local sources, and make and edit videos - all in the name of tracking down their teacher and finding out the truth of what happened to her as nobody else cares. To be honest, I would have hated to go missing in this small town as everyone seems lazy and they have an "I don't care" attitude. If you love YA thrillers with an AV news twist, then check out Faith Gardner's new book "If You Can Hear This" today.

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...
