Review: The Other Sister

The Other Sister The Other Sister by Theo Baxter
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Celeste may look like she has her life together, but she has survived many childhood traumas and now uses her own survival strategies to help others in her psychology practice.  Unfortunately, her life is turned upside down when a patient begins stalking her and then attempts to destroy her career.  Now Celeste is confronted with her past as she attempts to save her future.

The Other Sister is a stand-alone mystery with a few twists and turns to keep the reader interested.  Baxter has created a story that is close enough to be believable that I began to wonder if this could happen to me.  A good read for all mystery fans.

Review: Royal Liars

Royal Liars Royal Liars by Lindsey Duga
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sadie is now the heir apparent for Ashland, and life has not settled down as it is time to start a new school year.  She has been told to fake date one of the princes, yet the other prince wants her for himself.  The other “royal heirs” have their own drama they are dealing with, and it soon becomes apparent that they need to trust each other.  Can these teens put aside their differences and come together for the country they love? 

Royal Liars is the second book in the Royal Heirs Academy.    This enemies-to-lovers story is told in alternating voices, so readers have a full picture of what is going on, even if the individual characters do not.  The intrigue goes beyond the usual teen issues and moves onto the global platform.  This is a duology, so readers can finish this book with the assurance that they know where almost everything ends.  A great escape read for fans of romance or royal tropes.
