Review: The Inheritance - Kate Horan - January 2025

I am fascinated with DNA testing and have gotten mine done so I have found books that contain the topic fascinating and was excited when I received the ARC from HarperCollins NZ. The book starts with Meg visiting her mother Jenny in the rest home as she has dementia. Her mother calls her not only Tina but also mentions the place, Hartley. Meg had never heard of Hartley and doesn't know who Tina is, so being the journalist that she is at heart she decides to pitch a story about Hartley Gaol and a rich elite family taking over the town -the Ashworth’s. While in town Meg spends some time asking questions and soon finds out that everything, she knew about her mother was a lie and that something bad must have happened here in Hartley. Meg gets Georgia - a girl who could be her potential cousin to take a DNA test which she does, at the same time Isobel Ashworth has also taken a DNA test and the results match with Meg as a close relative. How is Meg related to Isobel and what happened to make her mum years ago change her name and go on the run and cut contact with her family?  This was such a great read and if you love DNA mysteries and ever wondered what scandals could lie from taking one, then you will need to check out when released "The Inheritance" by Kate Horan.

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...
