Review : The Nights Before Christmas - Kerry Allen

Twas the Night before Christmas and Harvey Doyle was definitely dreading turning up to work. He had been so happy to find out that their wasn't going to be a Christmas Party but unfortunately for him - the staff had moved their New Year's Party to a Christmas Party as everyone was going to be on holiday.
The other thing he most hated about Christmas , was the thought of giving gifts and his workplace was big on the Secret Santa . He hated Christmas soooo much, that he had earned himself the nickname "Grooge" - a mixture between The Grinch and Scrooge.
Now this is the part where the humour element has played with the story , as the movie/books of Twilight were big when the book was released the characters receive either the 4pk of Twilight Saga books or the DVDs, the other ironic thing is that Harvey Doyle is in fact a Vampire.
When one of his presents turns out to be a half-dead girl , we discover the identity of the girl as Bowe Winderowe an elfin assassin and convicted felon whom has been ordered to finish her sentence dressed up as a Santa's Little Elf.
Now Bowe has an option to A) finish her sentence faster if she can convince Harvey to find that Christmas Spirit that he lacks or B) she will be executed for her crimes.
Can Bowe be granted a Christmas miracle or will Harvey the Bloodsucker be too much to handle and will the next thing on her agenda is walking her death walk.

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
