The Second Window


Review: The Second Window - Book #1 - Erica Kiefer - December 2017
I had read a blurb or something for the second book a few weeks ago, and it stuck in my mind, so much that it made me want to source the first book. This was better than I thought it would be an OMG the ending was a cliffhanger and ARGH moment that reminded me of the PLL Finale. Without giving twists and secrets away, we have seventeen-year-old Olivia Cole who is studying psychology at school hence - the second window title. She has been working part-time at a supermarket where a recluse and hermit Jodie has been coming in for years through her checkout. They never speak words but Olivia feels a connection and cares for Jodie. Until one day, Jodie speaks and it starts a domino effect for Olivia as it turns out that Jodie has a few secrets and they involve Olivia. As the book goes along, Olivia feels the need to talk to Jodie but she seems to be blocked at every turn by everybody including her mother who Olivia will discover is hiding a big secret - one that will change Olivia's life as she knows it. I was surprised when I read this first twist, but the later twist near the end of the book really blew my mind and left me wanting the second book right this instance. For fans of the TV Show The Lying Game and Pretty Little Liars - both Sara Shepard's books will love Erica Kiefer's The Second Window as it follows a few similar themes.  I now can't wait to get my hands on Book #2 which is released next month. Perfect for YA fans of psychological fiction.

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
