Review: One of Us is Back - Karen M. McManus

  Review: One Of Us Is Back - Book #3 Bayview Trilogy Series - Karen M. McManus -July 2023 I have been so excited to read this one as I remember back when Karen M. McManus first released her debut novel One of Us is Lying, since then she has been one of my favourite YA thriller authors. One of Us Is Back is book #3 in the Bayview High series as the group is back for the Summer and about to learn that Jake - the guy who set them up for the murder of Simon and tried to kill the group is being let out of jail after 6 years. At the same time, a new billboard has popped up with the words "Time to Play a New Game". Is someone starting up another murderous game in Bayview? The group is a combination of the characters from the first book and then the other half is from Book #2. I enjoyed this one but was a little disappointed when the villain was revealed as it felt disconnected from the main theme of being related to the Bayview Group itself, but more focused on Jake and his family...

Review: Caught up in the Drama - Book #7 Good Girlz Series - ReShonda Tate Billingsley - April 2010 2021, was the year I decided to try and focus finally on clearing my kindle with old books. Especially since I didn't have the distraction of the new books coming into the library, since I no longer work there. The Good Girlz is a series I discovered so many moons ago and finally I have read almost the whole series. Caught up in Drama tells us the story of Camille who not only wins her school talent show when everyone discovers the beautiful set of pipes on her but she also gets the chance to sing and star in a Sisco music video. At first, Camille's friends are happy for her but soon as the video and that side start to take over her life, her life becomes divided and she starts to focus on the music side and her friends drift away. Camille can't see why she can't have both but soon jealousy sets in and Camille starts to lose her friends and boyfriend. However, what will...
