Review: Immortal City - Book #1 Angel City Series - Scott Speer - April 2012
Immortal City , imagine a world filled with Angels - Angels that are sent to protect the rich and wealthy , the ones who fork out a hundred grand to have their lives saved and preserved so that they may live longer. However, with this comes the downside of those families who must watch their loved ones die as they cannot afford the luxury of a Guardian Angel. For Maddy , she is one of those girls who does not breathe or buy into the whole Guardian Angel philosophy, to her they are stuck up snobs as Maddy brings up a good point - Aren't angels suppose to make miracles not choose who lives or dies ?
The Angel on the front cover is Jackson Godspeed, he is the upcoming hottest Guardian Angel out there and all the girls want their turn at being saved/protected by Jackson. All but Maddy , but what happens when one night Jackson escapes his flash life and ends up in Kevin's Diner - where Maddy works and he starts to fall for her and vice versa. What will happen though when Maddy discovers that he is in fact "THE " Jackson Godspeed ? Will Maddy's views on Angels change ?
Somebody is killing the Angels and stripping them of their wings , what happens when Maddy starts to have premonitions of the dangers and discovers that Jackson is next on the hit list ? Will they be able to get over their hate and distrust of each other in order to save each other ? What will happen though when the truth of Maddy's existence is revealed and Jackson is banned from seeing her in order for his survival ? Can the pair separate and move forth with their lives or will they discover that Love is stronger than protection and that sometimes you may just have to break a few rules to be with the one you love and care about .
A series that I did find myself enjoying and I loved how Scott had added the flair of Mystery and Thrill to the novel and I look forward to reading Book #2 Natural Born Angel.

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...
