kakinota #don't look back by jennifer l. armentrout

This is a thriller and mysteries book.

A girl who had been in an awful accident which left her having amnesia.
She couldn't remember her own name, her family and friends and couldn't even remember what had happened to her.

When Samantha Jo Franco 17 year old being accused of murdering her best friend Cassie Winchester, she knew she need to do something to make her remember what truly happened the night they went missing.

Along the way of trying to discover the truth of what happened that night, she also discovered what kind of person she used to be and the kind of people she befriended before the incident.

Sammy determined not only to find the murderer but also she determined to make amend with people she made enemies before especially with her childhood best friend.

Who is the murderer? At the end of the thriller, I found out that the person I suspected to be was the wrong person.

The book is actually simple and straight to the point and I found it to be entertaining for leisure reading.

psst : It took me 2 days to finish it including less sleep. I couldn't wait to know who was the murderer. A.S.A.P.

kakinota : Enjoying the Chase by Kristy Moseley

I've known the author from the famous wattpad. This story was among the highest readers and voters then. So were her other stories that managed to attract publisher to publish them as well.

This book is a story about boy meet girl. The guy S.W.A.T Officer Nate Peters meet a single mother, Rosie York through their own respective bestfriends. This book explains in detail about Nate's inner feeling when he try to win Rosie and her son DJ's love and trust .

80% of the story came from Nate's P.O.V (point of view) and the rest was Rosie's which is refreshing because usually when it comes to love and romance fictions, I usually find them were written from girls' P.O.V. How a woman/lady/girl try to find ways to be different from the bimbos and be noticed while mostly of the guy were seen as the coolest, toughest and hottest guy who do not have any internal conflict at all.

The story was long and it took me more than 2 days to finish reading. It is fine by the way because I feel that this story is lack of an 'ummph' factor. There is no urgency feeling to know what happened next as I can figure out more or less of what will happen next.

And the author loooove to used the word 'HOT' - the hot guy, the hot girl and the hot body until I felt 'HOTLY' annoying reading and reread it throughout the story.
