By Midnight - Mia James

Are you a fan of the constant realm of Supernatural especially the part that involves mortals and supernatural creatures ?

Review : By Midnight - Book #1 RavenWood Series- Mia James - Sept 2010

Meet April Dunne , daughter of Journalist/Author William Dunne. Her family and her have moved from their lives in Edinburgh to Highgate, London , halfway through the new school year. April has to try and make new friends and start a new school. Unfortunately for April, her new school is anything but awesome and welcoming. 
Welcome to RavenWood, a prestigious academy for the financially and academically gifted students. Here the schoolwork is different , the students are super-rich , pretty and smart and the teachers are odd. Thank goodness for April , she makes a new friend Caro , though as far as normal people come - Caro is a deep conspiracy theorist.
Something however is not right at Ravenwood and in Highgate , when a series of deaths start happening, has an old curse started up again or is something more sinister going on like "The Highgate Vampires".
Read as April soon realises the truth about herself , her friends and her family and that when it comes to core, who can she trust as she finds out her whole life has been a hidden lie ?
This book like many of the newer supernaturals in the tradition of Fallen by Lauren Kate , The Eternal Ones by Kirsten Miller and a few more ... the Prologue of the story starts off in 1887 and then jumps in Chapter One to the present time.

    Hello! Thanks so much for hopping by my site! I think By Midnight sounds like a deliciously dark read - the seedy underbelly of Hex Hall. Can't wait to read it!

    @cuidadocomodalmata - The trailer reminded me of the Blair Witch Project.

    @Casey - Your right it is like the seedy underbelly of Hex Hall - Stay Tuned as I review Lisi Harrison's latest Monster High.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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
