Deceptions (Cainsville, #3)

Review: Deceptions - Book #3 Cainsville Series - Kelley Armstrong - August 2015

One of my favourite supernatural/paranormal authors is Kelley Armstrong and one of her series particular that I had been enjoying was the Cainsville series where we met Olivia Taylor-Jones who discovered that she was adopted and that her "real" parents were in fact sitting on death row and were serial killers. As Olivia got to know her past, she noticed that strange things were occuring and that something eerie was happening. We later discovered that Olivia's blood line was filled with paranormal qualities. In Book #3 Deceptions, Olivia is starting to have a life with Ricky and create a friendship with Gabriel and try and get her parents out of jail but what happens when her stalker ex-fiance James Morgan turns up dead and Gabriel is blamed for it - something that her "real" mum Pamela predicted. Things just got a whole lot more complicated for Olivia and it's about to get worse as she realises that she has been decieved by those she thought she could trust from Ricky and his motorcycle gang to Aunt Rose and Gabriel as Olivia will learn that she is fae and her parents were from rival fae gangs and now an ancient prophecy is arising where Olivia is the main female and Ricky and Gabriel are the chosen ancestors from the two fae clans and whomever she will choose will start another domino effect and ripple. In Deceptions, Olivia will also finally learn the truth about the murders her parents were said to commit and that like everything that has happened , it all comes back to protecting one person - that person being herself.
Deceptions unlike the other books was quite a lengthy one and had a more complicated plot line and had a few different angles. Also if you are more into the Fantasy angle rather than Thriller - Deceptions makes up for it as the previous two were more of a thriller read.
However, in saying that I enjoyed Deceptions and loved discovering more about Olivia's true background as Eden and now I am hoping we will have a Book #4 where we can read if she goes for Ricky or Gabriel - I personally am hoping despite his inability to fully comprehend love and feelings that Olivia will try and work with him and choose Gabriel as I am on #Team Gabriel

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 - 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
