Twinsie Kelly’s Review

I really enjoy this group of survivors! They are one of the most unlikely teams but they are definitely growing on each other. They are definitely in survival mode but things are slowing them down. They continue toward Kansas, trying to get Greta to her family. They all feel like they will accomplish something great if they can reunite Greta with her family but in this book, you can tell how defeated everyone is starting to feel. Luke is injured and is slowing everyone down, Greta is starting to feel slower, everyone is starting to feel some sort of doubt. While they haven’t run into a ton of zombies in this specific book, they are constantly dealing with storms, dealing with vehicles running out of gas, moving slow….They need time to heal and make a plan. The end of the world was happening and they were surviving, together! I can’t wait to join them on the next leg of their journey.

#review #audiobook #seriesstarter Crave (Crave 1) by Tracy Wolff narrated by Heather Costa and Tim Paige 

My whole world changed when I stepped inside the academy. Nothing is right about this place or the other students in it. Here I am, a mere mortal among gods… or monsters. I still can’t decide which of these warring factions I belong to, if I belong at all. I only know the one thing that unites them is their hatred of me.

Then there’s Jaxon Vega. A vampire with deadly secrets who hasn’t felt anything for a hundred years. But there’s something about him that calls to me, something broken in him that somehow fits with what’s broken in me.

Which could spell death for us all.

Because Jaxon walled himself off for a reason. And now someone wants to wake a sleeping monster, and I’m wondering if I was brought here intentionally—as the bait.

#Review – The Game by Shane Scollins

No matter where you are, they’ll find you, and put you in “The GAME”.

Candice Laguna’s life is being systematically dismantled, by an unknown force, for a reason she can’t imagine. But she is about to become the unwilling star of a reality game competition the likes of which has never been broadcast to the world.

Just when things get darkest, a mysterious man snatches her from the grips of doom. He is a man who is not what he seems, and not who he says. He has no name and his motivation to help Candice is not what it seems to be.

But his selfishness has good intentions, he just wants to know who he is and where he came from. And getting to the man orchestrating this reality game is the only way to find the truth.

THE GAME is a mystery/thriller with an unpredictable paranormal twist. It has action and adventure and plays up the everyday exploitation of reality television obsession gone wrong.

Twinsie Kelly’s Review

3.5 stars ~ I picked this book up on a whim, it looked interesting and I thought I would give it a shot. It is a fairly quick read but I have some mixed feelings with the overall story. I almost wish that it was a little longer so that there was more background maybe…I am not sure.

I am going to try not to give too many spoilers here so bear with me. It started out really great. Girl gets identity stolen and is forced into this crazy underground reality game. There are other girls trapped in this game as well. As one can imagine, it doesn’t exactly end well. Girl is saved by guy. This is where is got a little wonky for me. Guy dies but body jumps and finds his way back to girl. They ultimately figure out why he is body jumping and go after the bad guy. But somewhere in there it just didn’t quite fit right or it was too fast, or something that I just can’t pinpoint. Ultimately, this does end on an HEA and seems like it could have a sequel so YAY!

Do I recommend this book? Yes. Would I read a sequel? Yes. I am intrigued 😊

But with the help of friends, she is able to give her coworker, Josh, an incredible Christmas present—everyone who participated in the secret admirer program that year, in one place.

What better place to do it than the Dairy Bar?

Josh is over the moon as they all introduce themselves and explain what their month had in store.

But that’s not all… there’re surprises even Penelope didn’t see coming…

i bought this book and here is my honest review

with the holidays around the corner and former Ryder’s students are home from college Penelope knows the perfect gift to give her extra annoying coworker for the time Josh. She gets all of the couples who were involved in the admirers together to let them all tell Josh their stories of their month. the best thing he could ever ask for, but they also found out a bit more then even Penelope planned for, plus they all got tickets to the masquerade ball. It was the best thing Penelope could have asked for now their year is forever marked in Ryder history and the teal envelope for this season is complete.

#wotr26 #attendingauthor #partofaseries #YA Dear Penelope (love notes season 2 book 8) by Danielle Keil

Everyone at Ryder High knows what it means to have a teal envelope taped to their locker on the first day of the month.

Penelope Monroe is no stranger to the secret admirer game. As an employee of the Dairy Bar, it’s her duty to make sure every participant comes into the shop at least once to work on a clue.

Or so her predecessor, Josh, demands.

Little does he know, it’s her turn for the teal envelope and to write her name on the white board.

Her admirer knows her love for video games. His clues come in form of a private room within the game, where she has to defeat the zombies in order to unlock information about him.

Penelope is suspicious—everyone in the game is anonymous, but one has to be behind it all.

Can she unlock the clues needed to unmask her admirer, or will it be game over?

New month a new its girl and our girl Harper is up. Harper is extra fun for this month because she is deaf but that doesn’t mean anything she is still a strong girl who has a great group of friends by her side. always trying to teach someone a proper way to sign something correctly with ALS but as long as they spoke slowly, she could read their lips most time. She’s defiantly one of a kind, her month was so fun to read and learning how her guy adapted for her. But the best part is that Harper is a legacy from when her parents were picked to play when they were in high school at Ryder. And with her mom gone it gave Harper a small piece of her mom back and to share something so special that only a few get to experience while a student at Ryder.

Twinsie Dee’s top 5 from July-December 2025 #thrillers #YAthrillers #holidayread #truecrime

Blurb-

Blake is dead. They say his wife killed him. If so… which one?

Polygamist Blake Nelson built a homestead on a hidden stretch of land—a raw paradise in the wilds of Utah—where he lived with his three wives:

Rachel, the first wife, obedient and doting to a fault, with a past she’d prefer to keep quiet. Tina, the rebel wife, everything Rachel isn’t, straight from rehab and the Vegas strip. And Emily, the young wife, naïve and scared, estranged from her Catholic family.

The only thing that they had in common was Blake. Until all three are accused of his murder.

When Blake is found dead under the desert sun, all three wives become suspect—not only to the police, but to each other. As the investigation draws them closer, each wife must decide who can be trusted. With stories surfacing of a notorious cult tucked away in the hills, whispers flying about a fourth wife, and evidence that can’t quite explain what had been keeping Blake busy, the three widows face a reckoning that might shatter all they know to be true.

Review-

Miles from town lives the Nelson’s Blake and his three wives Rachel, Emily and Tina. this lifestyle is frowned upon by many. so, when the police show up on their front porch, Rachel couldn’t figure out why, but when they tell her Blake was found dead, she couldn’t believe it. one by one each wife gets interviewed by the detectives to try and figure out what happened these three are hard to crack and they are good liars. will the ops catch the killer who could be right under their noses or will they walk away. the killer will shock everyone when the pieces are put together, well if they are caught.

The murders of four innocent college students attending the University of Idaho left us all with so many questions. Now, after more than 300 interviews, James Patterson and prize-winning journalist Vicky Ward finally have the answers.

We know what it was like to live in Moscow, Idaho, on November 13, 2022, the day of the cold-blooded killings. We know what the local police and FBI did right. And what they did wrong. We’ve learned so much about the four heartbroken families—the Mogens, Goncalveses, Kernodles, and Chapins. And we have the backstory for Bryan Kohberger, brilliant grad student, loner, apparent incel.

Now you are the jury. The evidence is in.

Review- Maddie, Kaylee, Xana and Ethan since 2022 have been names that we have all heard on our tv screens and seen all over the internet. The Idaho Four is how they are known to the world now, 4 students at the University of Idaho that were violently murdered in their home one night. Moscow would never be the same again after that night on 1122 King Road when those 4 innocent college students whose lives haven’t really begun lost their lives by the hands of a monster. See a small glimpse into who they were before the world knew their names and they were just Maddie the light of her parents’ eyes, Kaylee 1 of 5 kids in her family, Ethan a triplet with Hunter and Maizie and Xana the life of the party and always taking her older sisters’ clothes when she got the chance. Ever since this story broke these families have been in many people’s hearts and the sad part is they will probably never know why this crime took place in the crime happened. also see a small part of the killer’s life, he doesn’t need it, but it was an interesting part. Maddie, Kaylee, Xana and Ethan will never be forgotten and never should.


Blurb-

After a series of unfortunate events left Holly Hepperdine without an accounting job, the only way to pay bills, pay for her sister’s school, and help her sick mother is to work at the local rub and tug massage parlor, The Happy Stroke Club, making a hundred dollars a “pop.”

Jasper Nicholas is stressed to the max on Christmas Eve. His father is ill, and Jasper has to run the family’s delivery service tonight. On a whim, he stops for a quick massage, realizing too late that there are other perks of the purchased package. He indulges but can’t get the gorgeous woman with the witty banter out of his mind, even after they go their separate ways.

When Jasper comes down Holly’s chimney late on Christmas Eve, she realizes Jasper is Santa Claus’s son and tasked with delivering gifts to the world’s children. He also needs desperate help with navigation and inventory. Can Holly and Jasper keep their hands to themselves long enough to deliver the gifts?

All I Wank for Christmas is an irreverent, raucous romantic comedy standalone, sure to put you in the mood for a happy holiday season…no Happy Stroke Club needed.

Review- Holly was doing what she could to help out her family with her mom being sick and not able to work her dad left for milk and never came back and her little sister helping while going to school Holly’s job isn’t a normal one she’s a professional at giving hand jobs yes that’s right, definably not normal but it helps pay the bills and that’s what matters. but when a walk in comes thinking he’s getting a massage he’s definably in for one didn’t think he’d get. Jasper has eyes on Holly from the moment she left her room at her job and walked into the lobby and after his happy ending and the fact he knows more about her then he should know when never speaking to her before would be creepy for most. but when you are the heir and about to take over delivering gifts to all the kids it’s a gift of his. yes, Jasper is Santa Claus’ son and is soon to be the big man in charge. Jasper needs Holly’s help on the biggest night of his job, will she believe him and help or just think it’s all a dream, twist turns and if she helps, they might end up in a sex dungeon. oh, this is one night nether one will forget.

In the latest jaw-dropping thriller from New York Times bestselling author Riley Sager, a man must contend with the long-ago disappearance of his childhood best friend—and the dark secrets lurking just beyond the safe confines of his picture-perfect neighborhood.

The worst thing to ever happen on Hemlock Circle occurred in Ethan Marsh’s backyard. One July night, ten-year-old Ethan and his best friend and neighbor, Billy, fell asleep in a tent set up on a manicured lawn in a quiet, quaint New Jersey cul de sac. In the morning, Ethan woke up alone. During the night, someone had sliced the tent open with a knife and taken Billy. He was never seen again.

Thirty years later, Ethan has reluctantly returned to his childhood home. Plagued by bad dreams and insomnia, he begins to notice strange things happening in the middle of the night. Someone seems to be roaming the cul de sac at odd hours, and signs of Billy’s presence keep appearing in Ethan’s backyard. Is someone playing a cruel prank? Or has Billy, long thought to be dead, somehow returned to Hemlock Circle?

The mysterious occurrences prompt Ethan to investigate what really happened that night, a quest that reunites him with former friends and neighbors and leads him into the woods that surround Hemlock Circle. Woods where Billy claimed monsters roamed and where a mysterious institute does clandestine research on a crumbling estate.

The closer Ethan gets to the truth, the more he realizes that no place—be it quiet forest or suburban street—is completely safe. And that the past has a way of haunting the present.

Review- Ethan was having a normal camp out with his best friend Billy, but when Ethan woke up there was a slash in the tent and Billy was gone nowhere to be found. Thirty years later, still no idea why he didn’t get taken with Billy, Ethan is now back in his childhood home with so many flashbacks and questions now coming back to him. but when Ethan starts having odd things start happening to him that where things between him and Billy, Ethan starts wondering if Billy is trying to tell him something they never found out if he was killed or not, so Ethan just can’t let this slip passed him. Can Ethan remember anything all these years later to help his friend find some peace, what will he do to get those last pieces to this puzzle together and find out what exactly happened all those years ago to his best friend. this book will keep you guessing till the very last page and you won’t see what actually happened coming.

One thing Stella doesn’t like is being in the spotlight but when she is handed a brown envelope with the famous teal envelope inside, she froze. she didn’t want the attention but after some thinking and asking for the clues to be private, and the people in charge said that was perfectly ok it was game on. the clues are creative and challenging but our girl who has a notebook for every occasion is up for the challenge. every clue comes with a new notebook and a clue inside that has a way deeper meaning then she thought was possible. who could want to be her admirer she didn’t have a clue but now she had a few, Stella had the whole month to try and figure it out on a whim can he do it or will she have to back out.

Autumn Avery-Romero is all sorts of confused.

First, her brother asks her to go on a pretend date with his best friend. Autumn owes her brother a favor, so she reluctantly agrees.

The next day, she finds out via the coveted teal envelope that she has a Secret Admirer.

There’s one big problem—she can’t be seen pretending to date someone and have a secret admirer. So she doesn’t tell anyone about the secret admirer. Soon, he’s sending her puzzle boxes to solve to get the clue inside.

But pretending to date someone isn’t as easy as she thought. Autumn’s feelings for her brother’s friend soon get as puzzling as the boxes she’s been solving.

#review #YA #thriller The Dare by Natasha Preston

Would you accept the dare?

In Marley’s town, seniors are given a prank as a rite of passage…a dare, if you will. The dares start out simple…egging houses, balloons filled with glitter, chickens running loose in the halls.

But this is no child’s play.

Accepting a dare means you could be expelled, arrested, or worse. No one wants to back down from a dare. But saying yes has consequences, too…

Review by Twinsie Dee

i bought this book and here is my honest review

Senior year means planning for the famous senior prank. but when one of the riches families in town take it upon themselves to be the leaders of the pranks one brother after another, it was basically their way or suffer the consequences of saying no to the dare. but what if you dare not only had you braking and enter and theft but also a hit and run, messing with a dead body and inappropriately disposing of a body, its all fun and games till someone gets killed and it could ruin your whole future. so will you accept the dare or not?
