Review: Gold Trap - Lily Maytree - September 2011
Meg Jennings was sick and tired of her boring life as a Schoolteacher, she decided that she wanted to do something different in her life. Reading a book about an 1800-s female explorer by the name of Mary Kingsley spurred her to do something exciting, adventurous, different. Being strapped for cash, Meg chooses a cheap tour pack visiting Africa and learning about "Voodoo". Deciding to take her journey one more step to adventurous, she dons an outfit that would have been worn in Mary Kingsley's days. She decides to whilst a stopover in Paris, observe passerby reactions to her outfit. Reading this part, I was able to understand as I am a huge believer in dress-ups and my job enables me to do wacky things like wear my PJs to work, dress up in a santa's outfit, dress up to the nines for the Royal Wedding. I love it and you always wonder what exactly goes on in the minds of some customers.  On the plane trip to Africa though, Meg will soon encounter the journey of a lifetime , a journey that will find her pretending she's married, a case of mistaken identity, jailed , questioned , a fight to save her life . Is this the journey she was looking for and we soon discover that this may be the divine appointment God was holding for Meg. As the results of the trip and what's she goes through , may very well hold the key to her future.
A at times confusing read , but other than that it is a fast-paced and interesting read and as someone who is planning to take the adventure of a lifetime in 2013, something different, adventurous. I loved 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
