As Lie the Dead (Dreg City, Book 2)
With the rise of different supernatural stories, I thought I would go on a supernatural expedition and try out a few new authors that looked interesting.

Review : As Lie the Dead - Kelly Meding - 2010 ( Book #2 - Dreg City Series)

Evangeline aka Evy Stone was killed and like Jesus resurrected after three days. Now returning in the body of deceased suicide committer Chalice Frost. However when Evy was resurrected she came back with powers of healing and teleportation. It's revenge on both sides as the hunters are attacked by the Owlkins and the Triads decide to retaliate and kill, for those who didn't read Three Days to Dead -the Owlkins were the ones who killed Hunter Evy Stone.
Evy blames herself for the annihilation while she and her former handler Wyatt Truman try to prevent further carnage as they believe Brass is behind the assaults. Feeling some regret as to what happened to the shape shifters due to what she believes were attacks on her, Evy vows to keep their survivors safe and take down Brass. As an assassin continues to target her and anyone in her inner circle or even strangers who  happen to be near her, she will soon realize how much she underestimated the problem.
Can Evy help save her friends and those around her or will more die in order for the Owlkins to assassinate Evy ?
As Lie the Dead is in some way quite a sad book as we read how Evy suffers remorse and guilt for those who have been killed. This factor adds a new twist on the Supernatural genre and other books I have read and enjoyed. Authoress Kelly Meding is definitely an author to add to your must read piles.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she
