Review: So I Lied - Chelsea Ichaso - January 2025

One of my favorite thriller writers normally does YA fiction, but with So I Lied she has ventured into her first adult thriller. Three friends since college Cadence, Jocelyn, and Rowan are headed to a B&B out in the middle of nowhere for Jocelyn's bachelorette party. The three haven't spent a lot of time together over the past eight years but this is about to change and soon this weekend of what was supposed to be fun and games will end in murder and death. This weekend not only will blood be spilled, but dark secrets and it looks like these friends are hiding dark secrets that if they got out - would have ruined their relationships from the get-go. To top it off this weekend, the girls are about to encounter a stalker as well and someone who might just be a murderer and not just the murderer within their group of friends. At college, Cadence was set to be valedictorian and was meant for great things, but Rowan's dark secret caused Cadence to miss out and from then on, Cadence's life just spiraled out of control. Rowan's daughter is the daughter of Jocelyn's dead brother Jake who supposedly died of a drug overdose and just before he died, Jocelyn told him a lie about Rowan which caused him to break up with her just before he died and ultimately led to his death. Cadence is in love with Jocelyn's fiance and will do anything to prove to him that he shouldn't marry Jocelyn.  So I Lied was a very twisted read and kept you guessing right to the end. I have to say, I did not see the ending twists coming. If you love thrillers and dark secrets and lies bubbling to the surface then "So I Lied" by Chelsea Ichaso is one of those reads you need to add to your 2025 reading lists.

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
