Review: Switched - Amanda Hocking

Who remembers the cute little troll dolls with the crazy hair and belly button pierced with a jewel ? I used to have a couple of these dolls , I decided to place a picture of them as today's book makes a mention of the little troll dolls.
Review: Switched - The Trylle Trilogy Book #1 - Amanda Hocking - January 2012
What would you be like if you discovered your whole life was a lie and that everything that had happened when you were younger now made sense instead of being pushed aside as craziness ?
For Wendy Everly , ever since she was six years old and her mother tried to kill her , claiming she wasn't the child she gave birth to. Life has been difficult , moving from state to state and town to town with her aunt and brother Matt. Fast-forward Eleven years later and now Wendy is starting a new school and there is a guy capturing her attention in a creepy way - Finn Holmes. However, Finn is about to deliver Wendy the shock of her life , she is in fact a trylle changeling and now she has to return back to their village . When she was born , she was switched and raised in the human world whilst the baby that she was switched with was raised in the world of Trylle's which translates into Trolls. Wendy is not just any ordinary Trylle though , she is in fact the heir to the throne and the time has come for her to claim her rightful place as Princess of the Trylle tribe.  Can Wendy though easily transfer her life from human world to Trylle or will she choose to remain in the mortal world ?

This book reminded me of "The Replacement" by Breanna Yovanoff and "Spellbound" by Cara Lynn Schultz.

    Hmm, it seems pretty derivative - I've read this sort of story before in YA.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
