Review: Valkyrie Rising - Book #1 Valkryie Series - Ingrid Paulson - October 2012
It should have been a nice summer away, a summer without any of her family except of course the grandmother she was going to stay with in Norway. What happened though was something out of this world and something that Ellie never dreamt was real or even had the possibility, not even in her wildest dreams. When Ellie arrives to Norway, she is suddenly met with a cold welcome and a warning that she should never had arrived, unsure of what is happening - she tries to get an answer but fails. Soon her holiday is disrupted by her brother Graham and his seriously annoying but cute friend Tucker. As the story goes on , we discover that young men have been disappearing in Norway and that the legend goes that the Valkryies are collecting them for Odin's army. It turns out that Valkryie blood runs in Ellie's family and now when her brother is taken - Ellie must confront her true self in order to save him and go up against the evil of the Valkyrie's.
This novel for me in parts were enjoyable whereas others it felt a bit slow and blah , as I had hoped for a bit more interaction and lead up to Ellie discovering her true identity - a bit like Oh My Gods or Mythos Academy series.
Valkyrie Rising however is a good novel and one that can be viewed as a light read and I do look forward to reading the novella "Valkyrie Symptons" brought out by Harper Impulse.

    Hello! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from
    an established blog. Is it difficult to set up your own blog?

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...
