Do you enjoy modern renditions? Love Contemporary spins on classic stories and tales?
Get ready for a spin on Homer's Illiad with Helen of Troy.
Review: Troy High - Shana Norris - August 2009
Are you looking for a Trojan Vs Spartan rendition to start off your day ? Do you consider yourself the King or Queen of pranks? I have to say that I adore books that are of contemporary and modern renditions and though I did enjoy the story of Troy High, I also at the same time found it irritable as the story starts off with a long standing feud between Troy High -home of the Trojans and Lacede High - home of the Spartans.  The story then moves on to become a relationship love triangle between Perry - Trojan , Lucas - Spartan and Elena - a former Spartan turned Trojan as the school zones were currently redesigned. The love feud soon becomes a full-on brawl filled with pranks, hurt and anger with full guns a'blazing and lines drawn and crossed. Cassie Prince , younger sister of two of the most popular Trojans Perry and Hunter feels torn between where her loyalty lies as she is in love with her best friend Greg - a Spartan and Lucas's younger brother. 
Will things get sorted or will Cassie have to finally take a stand and decide once and for all where her loyalty lies and whether standing up for yourself is worth it, no matter what the consequences that follow may be ?
A light-hearted novel , that won't require too much thinking as between the covers it really is just a novel of revenge - a dish served best with laxatives.

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
