Review: They All Had a Reckoning - Book #7 They All Had a Reason Series - Michele Leathers - November 2023 This is one series that I have been reading and was very excited to read Book #7 as it looked like Bellamy's past was closing in on her in this book she and Victoria head to Mexico where Cory and his sister Tasha have been living. Cory is the one with the true-crime podcast and with whom Bellamy has some romantic feelings despite how cold and heartless she acts. In this book, we learn that Cory has invited some people from Bellamy's hometown to visit including Gemma, Charlotte, Wade, and Bridger.

This was a fun YA thriller read, but perfect for those who are aged 13+, as I felt like this particular one was a bit too obvious with the killer revealed and...

Review: Lost - Escape from Reality Series - Sara Schoen - June 2018 A series that I have been enjoying is the Escape from Reality series, set in the small town of Escape, Colorado. Sara Schoen's story takes a different spin on the other books in this series as it has a supernatural/paranormal theme. Ash Carson has moved to Escape to get away from her previous life and start fresh like most people who find themselves in Escape.

Forrester is obsessed with ghost stories and has been telling Ash all the ones featuring the Stillwater Hospital and a small ghost town called Dark Hollow. When a hiker goes missing, the pair split up, and Ash hears a voice. Believing that it is Chip, she moves closer only to find herself staring at an old ghost town. Somehow Ash has stumbled upon the town of Dark Hollow, a town cursed by someone called The S...
