​One of Us Is Lying is the story of what happens when five strangers walk into detention and only four walk out alive. Everyone is a suspect, and everyone has something to hide.
 
Pay close attention and you might solve this.
On Monday afternoon, five students at Bayview High walk into detention.
    Bronwyn, the brain, is Yale-bound and never breaks a rule. 
    Addy, the beauty, is the picture-perfect homecoming princess. 
    Nate, the criminal, is already on probation for dealing.
    Cooper, the athlete, is the all-star baseball pitcher.
    And Simon, the outcast, is the creator of Bayview High’s notorious gossip app.
 
Only, Simon never makes it out of that classroom. Before the end of detention Simon's dead. And according to investigators, his death wasn’t an accident. On Monday, he died. But on Tuesday, he’d planned to post juicy reveals about all four of his high-profile classmates, which makes all four of them suspects in his murder. Or are they the perfect patsies for a killer who’s still on the loose? 
 
Everyone has secrets, right? What really matters is how far you would go to protect them.

The synopsis is what drew me to One of us is lying and my god it didn't disappointment. Have you ever seen the film breakfast club?! 
Yeah, well One of us is lying reminded me of the breakfast club but with a major twist. Like a major twist!
The storyline is narrated by the four remaining students. Which I felt added to the story. One of us is lying is filled with twists, and a whole load of mystery. 
A book I definitely recommend.

​I received White Raven from Netgalley for an honest review, thank you.

This is the first book I've read by J.L. Weil and it won't be the last. I thoroughly enjoyed White Raven and can't wait to read more. 

The storyline was original, unique and easy to follow.  The main character's were very likeable. I loved Piper's sass. And what's better than a bad boy, the boy who's out of reach, yeah... I loved Zane. 

White Raven will keep you on the edge of your seat until the end. It'll also leave you wanting more. 

​I received Pivotal Moments from Netgalley for an honest review, thank you.

Okay, where to start... Well, I have mixed feelings, on one hand I enjoyed reading Pivotal Moments but on the other hand, I found Aislinn to be really annoying.  I understand she was younger and more naive than Teagan but there were moments where I found myself rolling eyes at her naivety. 

Okay... so I loved Teagan. Even though I thought I was going  to dislike him at one point. Teagan is totally swoon-worthy, even though he has a history of being a heart breaker,  I found him to be a perfect match for Aislinn. He kind of levelled her out, helping her to overcome her insecurities.

Overall, Pivotal Moments was an okay read but I found the book to have too many clichés. ​

​I received Dark Touch  from Netgalley for an honest review, thank you.

Have you ever felt broken? Worthless? This is exactly how Tully feels. Alone. She has one goal in life and that is to escape. Too survive. Not only has Tully been made to feel as though she's nothing, she's scared to let anyone near her. To become even more of a social outcast. 
But Chris fight's for the only girl he wants, is he able to break down her barriers? To show her how he see's her. 

“My feelings. Whenever anyone touches my hands they feel what I feel.”

Okay, so Dark touch touches on some difficult and upsetting situations. Which I feel would be too much for a young adult audience but with that being said I enjoyed reading it.  

I found Tully to be a strong  and well-established character. Although I would've liked to have learned more about her power of touch. Where did the powers come from? Were they inherited?  

Chris is the sweet, kind, boy next door type with a huge heart. Although I liked Chris, I didn't feel as connected with him as I did with Tully. 

Dark touch is an emotional read, but definitely worth the read.

I received If I Should Remember from Netgalley for an honest review, thank you.

When I started reading If I Should Remember, I wasn't sure if it was going to be for me but I strangely found myself transfixed to the pages trying to work out what was going on. 

If I Should Remember is full of mystery and suspense. While you find yourself clueless with what happened to Zoe, the story grips you to finding out the mystery.  

The characters are well established and likeable.  

The only disappointment for me, is I'm left with unanswered questions.  I think we needed more explanation on Rin, I understand he was her way of coping but there was stuff he knew, which wouldn't have been possible. So while I found myself gripped to the mystery, I felt stuff was left unanswered. 

Seventeen-year-old Morgan Daniel has been in the witness protection program most of her life. But The Panteras have caught up with her and her younger brother. Her car is totaled, she's hurt, and the street gang is closing in when wolves with glowing eyes appear out of nowhere and chase away the killers. 

Then a very cute guy who handles a bow like Robin Hood emerges from the woods and takes them to safety at his fortress-like home. 

And that's just the first sign that Morgan and her brother have entered a hidden world filled with secrets...

​I would like to thank author Beth Trissel & The Wild Rose Press  for allowing me to read The Hunter's Moon for an honest review.

While I enjoyed The Hunters Moon, I found myself stopping a coming back to the book. Which is unusual for me as I like to read in one sitting. I found the storyline to be well written but the characters didn't really grip my attention. 

Seventeen-year-old Morgan Daniel has been under witness protection since she was a child. In grave danger, she seeks solace in the forest but what she wasn't expecting was her life to take an even more dramatic turn. Suddenly Morgan and her little brother discover all is not as it seems with the world.  They enter a whole new world with supernatural beings. 

The hunters moon is a young adult novel filled with suspense. The storyline is different and enjoyable, I just wished I clicked with the character's.
