Rage (Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Book 2)

Review: Rage - Horsemen of the Apocalypse Book #2 - Jackie Morse Kessler - April 2011

In Hunger we saw Lisa become the Famine Horsemen after trying to kill herself via Anorexia and in Rage, the second book in this series that I absolutely love and the cover artwork is also amazing is Missy aka Melissa. If you are a fan of the edgy content books then you will love these as Missy is a cutter via razor blades. When her boyfriend dumps her , she starts to find that the only way to release her pain is via cutting. A week before everything went downhill for Missy, the Angel of Death appeared and presented her with a white box to open when she was ready to accept her fate and destiny. The week goes by and her ex-boyfriend Adam invites her to a party, Missy accepts and soon realises that it was a big set-up and Adam succeeded in humilating her in front of everyone. This pushed her to her limit, so she rushes home to cut herself, release the pain -however there is no stopping Missy and she finds herself dying and remembers the box - she opens and discovers a Sword . We then meet up again with the Angel of Death as he explains to Missy that she can have a second chance at life , this time by becoming the Horsemen of War. Can Missy learn to overcome and control her powers before chaos breaks out and what will happen when Liz aka Famine and Missy aka War go head to head?
Find out in this wonderful sequel and I hope for more to come as I am loving this series.

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
