Review: Don't Look Back - Jennifer L. Armentrout - April 2014

Lately the library has been getting in some good mystery books and Jennifer L. Armentrout's book "Don't Look Back" was amazing and one of those "I am glad I found this type book". The story starts with Samantha Falcon, wandering down the road when she is found by a passing police car. She is covered in dirt, scrapes, blood and bruises. She also cannot remember her name and has amnesia. We learn that it has been four days since she went missing along with her best friend Cassie. Over the next week Samantha will discover that she wasn't the greatest person around and will have to learn everything again as the amnesia means she can't recall anything of the person she had become. Turns out though that maybe the amnesia was a blessing in disguise as Sam was horrible and the Queen B around the school and the B doesn't stand for the buzzy kind of animal but the female dog sort. Over the course of the novel, Sam will start to hallucinate and catch glimpses of the events leading up to her and Cassie's disappearance but what will happen when she starts to recieve notes and someone out there doesn't want her discovering the truth. In a way this book had a Pretty Little Liars feel to the story and even includes a lot of friendship and family dramas.  The book was quite fast-paced and kept the readers interest and the twist on the ending was amazing, I did not see the killer being whom he/she was revealed as - it definitely surprised me as I was convinced throughout that I had fair ideas who it could have been.
If you are wanting a fast-paced teenage mystery/crime novel , then check out Jennifer L. Armentrout's "Don't Look Back" , as this is one book that once you start reading it - you won't be wanting to look back , just forward as you flip the pages one by one till the very end.

  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 - 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
