Review: Whispers of Deception - Liliana Rose Hastings - November 2024

One of my favorite things to read are YA thrillers and Whispers of Deception by Liliana Rose Hastings ticked that box. The book begins with Willow running for her life as someone or something is chasing her and then the book jumps to a podcast episode and news reports about
Willow's body being found six months after she went missing and how she was the second one from their town to go missing - the first was a boy named Jacob whose body is still missing. Willow's friends are the main suspects in her murder as they were the ones who were the last to see her and have stuck to the same story each time asked, so much so that the police believe it is rehearsed. The friends though are about to get targeted as someone knows their deepest and darkest secrets including what happened to Jacob that fateful night and will begin to taunt the friend’s group with text messages, photos, and audio clippings. When Willow's body is stolen, the friends are more determined than ever as they know this person isn't playing around and neither of them want to end up in prison or six feet under with Willow and Jacob. As this book did end on a slight cliffhanger - I am interested to see whether Liliana Rose Hastings will continue this book to give readers some closure or leave us hanging. Whispers of Deception has something for everyone from True Crime podcast interviews sprinkled throughout the chapters and the book gave me vibes reminiscent of I Know What You Did Last Summer and Pretty Little Liars.

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...
