Rosebush

Review: Rosebush - Michelle Jaffe - March 2011

Sick of reading supernatural novels ? This one at first when I saw the cover , it gave off a supernatural feel but it proved to be a whole entire different genre.
High School - the bane of our existence , split up into different cliques - you have the geeks , the jocks , the loners etc and of course the group everybody wants to be a part of - the populars whom have their own particular name depending on what school you attend . In Rosebush, they are called "Stall Sisters". When Jane starts a new school, this is her time to shine and become a somebody , on the first day of school she meets Kate - 1/3 of the Stall Sisters and sooner than later Jane is one of them. The novel , then fast forwards to Jane lying in a coma at the local ICU , somebody tried to kill her and her crime scene picture reflects of Sleeping Beauty . As Jane tries to remember what exactly happened that night, she soon realises that her memories and her friends aren't matching up ? One set of them are lying and it becomes apparent to Jane that one of her friends tried to kill her and now because they were unsuccessful , they are going to try again till she's dead.
Rosebush is a novel that shows that with Popularity comes a Pricetag and the consequences if you cannot pay it.

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...
