Review: Wildthorn - Jane Eagland

Today's book is a teen/YA Novel that was a tad odd in places and those who love a bit of a pyschological plot with a dash of historical settings will enjoy. The review copy was provided from Netgalley www.netgalley.com .

Review: Wildthorn - Jane Eagland - September 2010

Receiving this novel , I was excited as I had heard good things about it on other blogs, but as I started reading it , I found myself divided and in two minds, as part of me loved the story and another side found it frustrating . The novel starts with Louise Cosgrove being transported by carriage to what is supposed to be the Woodvilles estate where she has been brought as a companion to their daughter , where in fact she is transported to an mental asylum and only to discover everyone is calling her Lucy Childs. Soon Louise is chucked into the world of psychiatry and a life in the insane asylum. Louise , sure that this is one big mistake tries to talk the doctors into letting her leave, however they are convinced she is delusional and crazy. The story then tells the events leading up to landing in the hospital as well as the present time she spends at the hospital and discusses the doctors and her friends- the other patients. Will Louise be stuck in the aslyum and as Lucy forever or will somebody hear Louise's pleas and come save her ? What will happen when Louise realises the heartbreaking truth that her own brother and aunty/cousin were behind this ?
Find out this and more in Wildthorn , which if you are like me it is going to be a wild ride flipping back and forth through the pages just to make sure we are still on the same wavelength.

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
