                                             Review : Monster High - Lisi Harrison - Sept 2010

It's the book everyone has been literally dying and hanging out to read , I have wanted to read the book ever since I first laid eyes on the catchy music video which they did for the book. I now have the song downloaded onto my IPOD as I just had to have it . After watching the video clips on youtube I had a fair idea on who the characters were but not the storyline of the book. I was in for a surprise as the book tends to tell two stories on main characters and newcomers Melody Carver and Frankie Stein. One is what they call a "normie" - Melody and her family have just moved from LA to the small community and Melody is starting her new year at local high school "Merston High" little for her it is actually nicknamed "Monster High" as several monsters in disguise attend. We read as Melody is soon caught between the "normie" world and the "monster" world.
The second storyline features Frankie Stein daughter of Viveka and Victor Frankenstein , now 15 days old she is to start attending Merston High and learn all about the differences between "monsters" like herself and those who call themselves "normies". Can Frankie fit in or was she born to stand out as she starts to try and implement a Be Natural for the monsters and why not be made to stand out when the school you attend is secretly filled with Monsters.
The chapters of Melody and Frankie intertwine as we discover their day to day lives and soon the same guy who happens to have a split personality.
Monster High is not exactly what I expected with all the hype going on, but in saying that it is a great read and worth getting on board with.

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
