Where They Found Her

Review: Where They Found Her - Kimberly McCreight - April 2015

After a tragedy losing her baby Molly Anderson's life flipped upside down as she found it hard to connect with others, thinking life was due for an overdue change - Justin and Molly and their five year old daughter moved to a smalltown called Ridgedale, New Jersey. Where Justin got a job teaching at the University and Molly got a job writing for the newspaper. When a big story comes up and Molly is the only writer avaliable , she must cover it but will it bring back memories of her past as there has been a body found - a newborn infant. As the story goes on, Molly discovers another death in the same spot over twenty years ago of a college boy. Are they connected somehow ? As the story of Molly trying to find the identity of the mother, Where They Found Her follows a number of different characters and families who at the end of the novel are all connected one way or another . What will happen when truths and lies are revealed as stories tumble from the domino effect of the baby's body ? 
Without giving away the ending and any spoilers , I will leave you with this that Where They Found Her is a complex story and there are several major character storylines, but they do all connect in the last few chapters. The book does boost that fans of Gone Girl, will love this book but because I hated Gone Girl, I would say that Where They Found Her is way better than Gone Girl and if you loved Kimberly's book "Reconstructing Amelia" you will love Where They Found Her.

  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
