Review: Missing Mom - Lynn Slaughter - January 2025

Noelle's life was on track, she had three loving parents - her dad, stepdad, and mum, she had her younger sister Whitney and her ballet. Everything was going well until one day, her mum didn't come home. Noelle knows something is off as her mum just wouldn't disappear on them, she also wasn't suicidal as the police believe she killed herself. With the help of her friend and ballet partner Ravi, Noelle goes on a journey to discover what happened to her mother. In doing so though Noelle will discover that her mum who never talked about her past, had a good reason not to as her mum's name isn't even her real name. What happened to her mother and why did her mum change her name? The book then jumps back to 20 years ago when we meet teenage Savannah. Savannah has gotten into a relationship with Mack. A relationship that will start to become an abusive one and it can only end two ways - either she can escape or in a body bag. Has Noelle's mum's past decisions come back to haunt her and is that why she has vanished? The other storyline that happens in this book is that of the sexual abuse of one of the characters.  Missing Mom by Lynn Slaughter was a good edgy YA thriller read and an indie diamond in the rough. In Missing Mom, Lynn Slaughter delivers a gripping and thought-provoking YA thriller that masterfully weaves together past secrets, present danger, and emotional trauma, making it a hidden gem in the genre.

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...
