Review: Love and Murder - Book #6 The Summervale Series - LL Hunter - July 2022 I have to admit I was in two minds about this book as it is the last in a series I have enjoyed, so I was sad to see it end but also, I felt at the same time a little letdown with this book. Those who have read the series will remember in Book #5 the crew started to receive thrilling notes again and stalkerish gifts and we read as Bobby was lured into captivity by newcomer Adrian. Then the book ended on a cliffhanger like the previous ones. Book #6 picks up with the crew being called and let know that Bobby is missing. Since they are a one-for an all-for-one friendship group, they pack up their lives and head back to Summervale. It's a trap though as the killer wanted them all back and is going to finish them off once and for all.  Darcie learns that her dad has escaped prison and is working with the new killer.

Review: Secrets and Lies - Book #5 Summervale Series - L.L Hunter - January 2022 If there was one YA thriller series that I would recommend everyone needs to read, it is the Summervale Series by LL Hunter.

Review: Spin the Bottle - Book #4 The Summervale Series - LL Hunter - November 2021 This is one series that I have been loving and if you love YA thrillers that keep you entertained and then leave you wanting more as each other book ends on a cliffhanger. At the end of Book #3, we read as Darcie's dad had reached his near end as his secret had come to light and soon the murder spotlight was on him. Darcie’s dad's felt backed in a corner and tried to kill her and his friends but didn't succeed. Stacey's secret was also revealed in their game of truth and dare. In Book #4 Spin the Bottle saw Stacey completing her community service and the friends Darcie, Stacey, Austin, Dane, Bobby, and Dylan celebrating their last summer together before college at Bobby's cabin in the woods on Capulet Island. Of course, nothing good ever happens on islands and cabins in the woods as terror and secrets will come to light. I did love the twist at the end when Darcie's family hist...
