Review: Seconds Away - Book #2 Mickey Bolitar Series - Harlan Coben - September 2012
Your favourite Teen Detective is back , Mickey Bolitar - now living with his Uncle Myron, Mickey has been slowly easing into school but it seems that trouble can't stray far away from him and now with only being at school a week , he has found himself bang smack in the midle of not only a homocide but also an arson attack and if that wasn't bad enough the Chief of Police Ed Taylor has it in for Myron and Troy - the Chief's son has it in for Mickey. Seconds Away focuses on not only the homocide of one of Mickey's new friends, but also delves deeper into the Abeloa Society which is the group with the butterflies. When an old photo shows up from The Bat Lady of a man who was supposed to have died over 50-70years ago , how can i be that Mickey recognises him from the scene of his father's death ? How is it that no matter what happens in Mickey's life - all the horrible and terrible dangers that occur reflect back to his parents and who knows them? Meanwhile Mickey's new friend Ema is keeping a dark secret - what will happen when Mickey learns the truth about who her parents are ? Will he be annoyed that she lied or will he respect her need for privacy?
Find out all this and more in Seconds Away which shows readers that even in seconds away , your life that you know of can be over .
Another great installment in the Mickey Bolitar series and I look forward to reading more of Harlan Coben's releases.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Penny Reid

Review: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
