In the real world Eliza is smart, shy and a big mess! Online she is the one and only Lady Constellation and the author of the biggest web comic Monstrous Sea. This is her baby and she does everything she can to keep her identity secret. One day she meets a boy named Wallace and he is the biggest Monstrous Sea Fanfiction writer. They start dating and then when Eliza's identity is leaked out her world comes crashing down! 

Review: 
So, I have a tendency to start a book blind. Like I don't read the synopsis or anything like that I just go in blind and what happens happens. 
This story is amazing and I enjoyed it! Eliza is a normal teenager fixing to finish High School, going to college in the fall and everything but, she is also the author of one of the biggest webcomic fandoms there is. Eliza is also a BIG introvert, she doesn't really talk to other people at her school nor does she have any friends close to her except her online friends! She's not really close with her two brothers or her parents, her main focus is her webcomic baby Monstrous Sea. 
But, all of that changes when she sticks up to the bullies on the new kid, Wallace. Soon she discovers that he is a huge fan of the Monstrous Sea and that he even writes FANFIC about it. Her life seems to be going well, she has a boyfriend(Wallace) and her motivation and plans to finish the comic by the end of the school year are going great until it just wasn't. 
In an attempt to connect with her on a different level her parents outed her unintentionally. Suddenly, Eliza's life is turned upside down and she must face her monsters and come to terms with her new reality. In a way of self discovery and what's really important to her. 
I loved this book and this was the first that I have read from this author! I definitely will check out more from her! I loved the different styles of writing and the graphics included in the text! Definitely a great read!

Title: The Golden Couple  Author: Greer Hendricks & Sarah Pekkanen  Expected Publication: March 8, 2022 Publisher: St. Martin's Press  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages: 336 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review:  OMG This is one that I was really enthusiastic to read because I have loved EVERYTHING that these two authors have written and just a little secret (they didn't let me down! I was glued to my kindle the last 40% of the book!) Marissa Bishop sought out Avery Chambers to help her with her marriage. Marissa had a fling and she wanted to tell her husband in a controlled environment, where she and he could work out their differences and heal their marriage. Avery is just the unorthodox therapist to do this, see she only takes clients that she can help in 10 visits because she has a system that works. So while they work through her program they can be in a different place than when they first came to see her. So, while it seems that the Bishops are getting through their

My Review of The Shadow Man by Helen Fields

Title: The Shadow Man  Author: Helen Fields  Expected Publishing Date: Feb. 4, 2021 Published by: Avon Books UK  Genre: Mystery/ Thriller  Pages 400 pages  Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5  Review:  This is a different kind of thriller/horror book. An American profiler and psychologist is called in to help aid when a high profile abduction of Elspeth occurs after a murder of a similiar woman. Along with Detective Baarda she and he follow the abductions of a 12 year old child and of a parapalegic man. Trying to figure out the end game is all they can try to do and the twist and the turns of the case is absolutely horrifying. Fergus abducts them all to try to create the family he never had, not long after his introduction the reader can realize that he is not only physically but also mentally sick. He is so sick and twisted it's not even funny. This book follows the investigation and also gives an insight into Fergus's mind, and what an adventure that was. I definitely recommend this b
