Review: The Nail Salon - Book #1 DCI Sue Fisher Series - Natalie Tambini - July 2023

Scrolling through my Kindle, I came across this book as the cover and title drew me in, and wow what a ride it was OMFG I did not see the ending reveal coming, that had me going WTF as I did with a few twists in this book. The book starts with Mel doing Soozie's nails, Mel is the local Nail Salon owner and becomes a friend and confidante to her clients. Mel though has a dark side that developed since childhood and ever since she was young, she has yearned for the perfect family unit so dressed as Beverley she was able to rent a home in the Crown Estate and as Sally she can help give homeless young women a place to stay and become her family, that is until they turn on her- then danger strikes and she must go through the Sally process once again. Mel has crafted everything to perfection and goes along life undetected, that is until her latest "rescued girl" happens to lie about her name and turns out to be the daughter of a wealthy couple and is all over the news and the police are searching every angle. What happens when the police narrow in on Mel? Can she escape and start a new life somewhere else? The other side story in The Nail Salon is one of a couple of sexual abuse cases, suicide, murder at a prison domestic violence, and a child trafficking ring. The Nail Salon is an edgy read that packs a punch with all its twists and turns and is worth the read as a few of the twists I did not see coming and was in for a few big surprises along the way.

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...
