Review: Family of Liars - Book #0.5 We Were Liars Series - E. Lockhart - May 2022 It has been a week since I read this book and to be honest, I still don't know exactly what to write in this review as the book just felt like a confusing mess. It felt like it was all over the place, yet it followed a linear timeline. I wasn't sure what to expect but had been putting it off as I remembered that the original read, We Were Liars was a crazy twisted ride and left you feeling WTF did I read? Family of Liars was the same as I felt like I was left hanging. The book goes back to when our main protagonist in We Were Liars was a child and the first death of her sister and the crazy summer that followed one year later. Family of Liars is a story of family loyalty, betrayal, secrets, and lies. I have to admit, only read this book if you have read, We Were Liars and feel a strong passion to read the prequel as, to be honest, it did feel disjointed and unnecessary to a point. In a way, this ...

Review: Loyal - Book #1 The Zara Chronicles - Scarlett Haven - July 2018 After her parent's latest fight, Zara finds herself being shipped off to a boarding school in Switzerland. When she arrives, she knows nothing about the school and everything especially the classes seem strange to her. The other thing is that she is a novelty as the school doesn't normally take new students on at her age. Zara is about to learn that this school is, in fact, a school to train spies and that she has been given entrance due to one of the school's top success stories Zach Stone. But how is Zach connected to Zara, especially since she has never heard of him before and when she tries to ask her mother she shuts down. Loyal was also a Reverse Harem series as Zara finds herself friends with a team of boys. This part reminded me of the Ghost Bird Academy series with Sang by CL Stone. Loyal was a fun YA read that has something for everyone from High school experience...
