Review: The Golden Lily - Richelle Mead

Are you a fan of Vampire Academy or The Georgina Kincaid Series ? Author Richelle Mead has just released the second book in her latest series "Bloodlines".
Review: The Golden Lily - Book #2 Bloodlines Series - Richelle Mead- June 2012
Fans of Vampire Academy series will love Richelle Mead's new series "Bloodlines" as alot of the same characters feature in both series. The Bloodlines series is a spin-off which features Sydney Sage as the main character who as an Alchemist has been sent to protect Jill Dragomir - a Moroi princess. Working undercover, Sydney along with a group of Vampires have been sent to Amberwood to keep Jill safe from the public and also to help assist Dimitri and Sonya in discovering the cure for Strigoi's which as we learnt in the Vampire Academy series are the evil vampires. Also on the team at Amberwood is Eddie , Adrian and Angelique. In Book #2 The Golden Lily, we read as the job of keeping the vampire princess is about to get harder as it seems that there are others out there that want the princess dead and by Jill not co-operating and following Sydney's rules that have been put there to keep her safe may be the very thing dangering her and making her an easy target.  Sydney gets a new boyfriend named Brayden, but with the revelation that she's dating may open the eyes of two other guys in the jealousy game - Adrian Ishakov and Trey. Can Sydney in her role as the Alchemist afford to have boys fighting over her as we wonder if it will distract her from her main goal ? Will the introduction to dating prove to the reader's that Sydney is human too ? Out on a shopping trip with Sonya, Sydney and Sonya bump into someone who believes they know Sonya from her Strigoi days, is trouble brewing near or is this a case of genuine mistaken identity ?
Unfortunately for me, I found The Golden Lily , to be a tad slow and hard to get into whereas I loved and devoured Bloodlines. I will be looking to read Book #3 when it is released though , just to keep up with the storylines .

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
