Breathless

Review : Breathless - Jessica Warman - August 2010

Breathless didn't only fall into that category of a Boarding School Novel in the tradition of Upper East Side Gossip Girl and "Private Novels" by Kate Brian. It also fell into the tradition of novels that touch of edgy topics like Melody Carlson and Ellen Hopkins - two of my favourite ECT (Edgy Content Teens) authors, though if asked I could provide a nice lengthy list :).
Breathless tells the story of Katie aka Kathryn whose family is definitley the dysfunctional kind. Her mother is an artist whose semi-conscious some of the time , her father a pyschiatrist is nicknamed "The Ghost" as he's not always around and when he is it's not like he's around much and her older brother Will has early Schizophrenia. After his latest escapade where he tried to hurt himself, Katie is shipped off to Boarding school where she meets new friends, makes a life for herself and meets guys and soon realises though that not everybody is who they say they are. What happens when Katie hoping to impress tells a wee lie , that is exposed ? Will everything she worked for be destroyed or will it only make her stronger.
For an amazing tale of Family, Relationships, Friends this book as the title reads it will leave you "Breathless" as you turn each page with anticipation and wowness.

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...
