Are you a sports fan ?
Love Boarding School novels ?
Review: The Academy: Game On - Book #1 The Academy - Monica Seles - June 2013
This is one book where I loved the cover and could not wait to get started as I had requested this from Netgalley. I had the cartoon like cover and in this instance prefer it over the real life models cover. I will give pre-warning to people who see the "If you love Gallagher Girls, you will wnjoy this" by saying that this is in no way a Spy School novel. In fact I would have to say more if you enjoyed Mythos Academy or Oh My Gods by Tera Lynn Childs minus the Gods part then you will enjoy The Academy series.  The Academy series takes us into the world of Sport and in this novel we meet Maya , a scholarship student who plays Tennis. At the Academy unless you win a rare scholarship, the only way you can get in is by having lots and lots of money . Enter Nicole - she is the current reigning Tennis star , when Maya comes along - will her spot be threatened ? Also of course, what would the novel be without boys and hunky ones as we meet brothers and football stars Jake and Travis Reed - both want a piece of Maya but which one will she fall for ? Bad boy Jake or Good guy Travis ?
The Academy is one of those nice relaxing and easy to read books that doesn't use much of your brain energy. Good if you are wanting something fun and light.
I cannot wait to read the next installments - that is if Monica Seles continues the books and develops The Academy into a series.

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...
