Review: "Forget Me" by K.A. Harrington


Forget Me is a young adult (YA) novel with a romantic suspense twist to it. Written by Kim Harrington under her pen name K.A. Harrington, this book centers around a high school junior named Morgan Tulley who, while commemorating the three-month anniversary of her ex-boyfriend's death, inadvertently finds a FriendShare profile of a boy who looks exactly like him.  Readers follow her search for answers regarding her late ex-boyfriend, Flynn Parkman, the circumstances of his untimely death, and the identity of his virtual twin, Evan Murphy. In the process, she enlists the help of her best friend, Toni Klane, Toni's brother, Cooper, and a mutual friend she shares with Evan, Reece Childs.

This was a fairly interesting story that had a teen sleuth feel to it. Morgan uncovers lies and secrets, not just about Flynn but even about her own parents, who seem to be desperately trying to hide pertinent information from her. Getting to the bottom of whether Flynn and Evan are one and the same person is resolved soon enough but I won't spoil the story for those who have yet to read it so I won't go into it and how it affects the rest of the book. ^.^

The suspense factor is much higher than the romance aspect but they do blend rather well and it was appropriate for the audience the book is written for. I feel it would be a good read for those in the YA age range. Heck, I'm more than double the age of typical YA readers and I enjoyed it. ^.^ The pacing was good, though the love story felt a tad rushed and a teeny tiny bit unrealistic. Still, I liked the intrigue and mystery and was satisfied with how everything turned out. Forget Me gets 3.5 stars out of five. ♥

Date read: 06 October 2014

Saved (Battles #2) by Hazel James Release Date: June 21, 2018 About Saved Leilani Moretti Life is out to get me.  Humvee accident that took my right hand? Strike one.  Cancer three years later that stole my breasts and hair? Strike two.  An overbearing mother who seems to think I’m twelve, not twenty-seven?  Yeah, I’m out of there.  I thought moving to Oklahoma would give me a fresh start. I hoped life would finally cut me some damn slack. But between the inept people at the VA hospital and a boss who’s hell-bent on fixing me, I just want to be left alone.

Review: The Room Mate by Kendall Ryan (Roommates #1)

Note: This ARC was provided by the author via InkSlinger PR in exchange for an honest review. I do believe I've found myself a new book boyfriend to drool, erm, swoon over in Cannon Roth, male main character in bestselling author Kendall Ryan's Roommates series starter, The Room Mate . This had a familiar romance trope--falling-for-your-best-friend's-sibling--and yet I didn't find it boring or tiresome in any way. This has both heart and heat as well as lighthearted humor along with a bit of heart-tugging angst and it's headlined by a couple of main characters that I was totally smitten with from the moment Paige got a pretty good idea of just how much her best friend's younger brother Cannon had grown up from the nerdy boy who followed them around like a puppy when they were kids. Bonus points for Paige being older and for the four-legged, furball named Enchilada.  When twenty-eight-year-old Paige took the call from her best friend asking if her yo
