Review: The Industry - Book #1 The Industry Series - Rose Foster - March 2012
Do you love puzzles ? I know I do , my favourites tend to be the word puzzles. In Rose Foster's new series, we meet sixteen year old Kirra Hayward who is a mathematics genius . One school day during maths , the class is given an assignment to create a puzzle which includes an equation or mathematical reasoning. Kirra , unsure of what to do exactly logs on to the net and starts to google number puzzles. She comes across one and submits it , nothing happens and she leaves it at that, though it's still niggling in the back of her mind. The next day though Kirra finds her life is about to change and all because she solved some stupid puzzle on the internet. The puzzle turned out to be a code that very few in fact only 4 people have been known to solve it and the remaining are dead so Kirra is the only hope in solving the codes. Soon Kirra is kidnapped and finds herself held hostage with the sole purpose of solving the codes given to her. Kirra will soon realise that if she doesn't do what she is told, there will be severe consequences including death.  We read as Kirra is uprooted from her life as a high achieving sixteen year old girl and girl whose only interest is in school to having to fight to survive and run in order to save herself from an incorporation we learn called "The Industry".
What is "The Industry" and what do the codes lead to ? Will Kirra survive the torment and tribulations ?

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.

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...

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...
