Following my reviews of The Dresden Files , as we know I had to skip Book #4 Summer Knight as it wasn't available to me on hand at the library, so get ready to read all about Book #5 Death Masks
Review: Death Masks - Book #5 The Dresden Files - Jim Butcher - October 2005
Ready for more Harry Dresden action, at the end of Book #3 Grave Perils we read as Susan and Harry were up to their limits as they infiltrated a Vampire ball and poor Susan was turned into a Vampire. Now searching for a cure and a better life , we saw Susan leave her job and move on out far away from Harry , where she could not harm him - Ahh True Love :). However, Harry not one to take anything lying down - sets out to search for her and find her as of course we know deep down that our Harry Dresden is in love with Susan Rodriguez. In Death Masks , it seems everybody is after Harry but that shouldn't surprise us as he often finds himself deep in doo-doo in every single book, it's a wonder he survives to appear in the next novel. Harry has been challenged to a duel with Vampire Ortega who has made one request -fight him in a duel or else all Harry's dear and closest are dead. The other plot line of the novel is the discovery and finding of the Shroud- an ancient cloth that is said to have been the sheet that wrapped Jesus up in the tomb over Crucifixtion period . As we read on , we discover it seems everybody wants a piece of the cloth and those who touch it are seemed to be dropping like flies literally - is the Shroud cursed ? We also read the re-introduction of Michael and his children Little Harry, Molly and Amanda and we meet two more members of the Knights Templar. Can the Knights Templar persuade Harry to stop what they are looking for as they have recieved a prophecy that if he continues to seek for what he is looking for , he shall perish.
Find out all this and more in Death Masks -Book #5 of Jim Butcher's series "The Dresden Files" and stay tuned for Book #6 - Blood Rites.

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...
