Looking for a new teen novel to read ?
Did you enjoy the film "John Tucker Must Die" ?
Review: Burn for Burn - Book #1 Burn for Burn Series - Jenny Han and Siobhan Vivian - September 2012
Have you ever hated someone so much that you would do absolutely anything to get revenge on them ? A Burn for a Burn ? Have you ever seen the hit movie "John Tucker Must Die" ?
In a way that is exactly what this book reminded me of as we see three girls all from different classes, social standings and cliques come together in secret - with one goal in mind to get the maximum revenge on those who have hurt them so bad in the past. For Lilia , her revenge target is Alex - a guy she has loved her whole entire life but he doesn't seem to notice her and when she catches him two-timing with not only Kat - a bad girl but also her sister Nat - she is furious and wants her revenge on him. Kat has had it rough and the target of all of her worries and taunts seem to come from one person - Rennie - with Lilia's help , can Kat find the perfect revenge for Rennie and meet newcomer Mary - she used to live on the island when she was younger and was the target of bullying that made her life a living hell - now she is back and wants to make her bully pay.
The only downside I had to this book which affected the fact that it only gets 4 stars rather than 5 stars was that it seemed to touch on a supernatural ability from Mary but didn't go any deeper and the ending just finished - it was like slamming up against a wall and being told thats its, no more.  Though at the stage of reading this I wasn't aware that it would be a trilogy so I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 in the series " Fire with Fire".

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...
