Solitary Sinners by Elle Thorpe (Review #221)

WARNING: SPOILER ALERT: IF YOU HAVE NOT GOTTEN THIS FAR IN THE SAINT VIEW PRISON SERIES, STOP NOW. DO NOT READ. THIS IS BOOK 2. CHECK OUT LOCKED UP LIARS FOR THE REVIEW OF BOOK 1!

“In the middle of a prison riot, the psychopath who murdered my sister holds me hostage. Soulless eyes black, bloodied knife in his hand, my name a whispered threat on his lips. My only hope is the three men fighting for my heart…and their lives.

Separated in the chaos, flames surround Rowe, the growly prison guard who acts like he hates me but always has my back. Liam, my lawyer on the outside. I've only just realized the depth of my feelings for the boy I once despised in high school. I dragged him into all of this and now I need his help more than ever. And cornered by violent criminals is Heath, the prisoner I've fallen for more with every day he's been incarcerated. I know he's innocent and I'm here to prove it, but I won't get the chance if he doesn't make it through the riot with his life. 

I came here for one thing but with new prisoners comes new threats. As sins are exposed and secrets unravel, one thing becomes apparent. The killer may not be as obvious as the man with his fingers wrapped around my
throat.”

Review:
Oh my god, talk about a cliffhanger! A prison riot??? How exciting. The stakes and tension are high but don’t worry, our MC is well looked after *wink wink.*

So, the first book I think we focused a lot on Liam, not that he doesn’t deserve it because I enjoyed him immensely. But I think in this one, we delve deeper into Rowe, and more importantly, we start to explore the budding romance between not just Rowe and Mae, but also Rowe and HEATH!!!! How unexpected and fun. 

And listen, I think the whole baseball game scene was by far my favorite, that will go into my own personal hall of fame if you ask me. Overall, this book stepped up on the last one; more smut and surprisingly more plot too. Along with Liam and Mae, I was interested to know who killed her sister and why. 

Some of the suspects though were a bit weird to me and not very well thought out, but I can give it a pass, given that really the murder mystery is more of a side quest here. Also, because I cannot deal with another cliffhanger, I’m already reading the third book.

Let me know your own thoughts and feels down below in the comments and I’ll see you real soon!

Burn for Burn by Jenny Han & Siobhan Vivian (Review #29)

"Lillia has never had any problems dealing with boys who like her. Not until this summer, when one went too far. No way will she let the same thing happen to her little sister. Kate is tired of the rumors, the insults, the cruel jokes. It all goes back to one person - her ex-best friend - and she's ready to make her pay. Four years ago, Mary left Jar Island because of a boy. But she's not the same girl anymore. And she's ready to prove it to him. Three very different girls who want the same thing: sweet, sweet revenge. And they won't stop until they've each had a taste." Review: This book was FAN-TAS-TIC!! I am not for the petty popular girl books, and this is definitely not one of those books. The revenge you wish you got on the person who double-crossed you is finally let loose in one of the best and most inventive ways, and the ending left me jaw-dropped. This is a book everyone should have on their shelf.
