Review: The Scorch Trials- Book #2 - James Dashner - October 2010
Have you read The Maze Runner ? I strongly recommend that if you haven't read the Maze Runner yet then don't read this book first or the review as parts you won't understand and others might ruin the The Maze Runner storyline for you.  In The Scorch Trials, the remaining 50 from The Maze Runner including Thomas and Teresa have escaped the Maze only to discover that they are part of an experiment. The series focuses mainly on Thomas , as we learn through book #1 Thomas plays a very important part in this series. Now escaping The Maze, the group have been sent to Phase #2 The Scorch Trials, in a twist of events the guys from Book #1 will learn that there is a camp identical to theirs except filled with girls and one boy Aris - who holds the same power as Teresa. Just when they thought it was all over the team discovers that they have been affected with a virus and if they don't make it out of the trials in time the virus will take over their bodies and turn them into Cranks. Read as one by one the team gets smaller and smaller and strange markings appear on them - informing their place in this new world. For Thomas though, it seems that there is more than meets the eye as his name starts popping up everywhere and his tattoo warns him that he is to be killed by Group B ( The girls group). With the help of his Maze Runner friends and newfound Scorch Trial friends , can Thomas find them a way out and get to the bottom of why he is important ?
A great sequel to The Maze Runner and I look forward to reading the next book in the Quartet - The Death Cure.

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
