Review: Amity & Sorrow - Peggy Riley - April 2013
This is probably one of the hardest reviews I have ever had to write in the past three years that I have blogging. This book was one of those ones where the cover captured me as I had the cover in the middle and then I read the blurb and it sounded like it could be a good book with it being about a Polygamy cult as I love to read things like that. So here I am opening the book and learn that the Mother Amaranth and her two daughter Sorrow and Amity have escaped a cult and now her husband is after her. We learn that she is Wife #1 of Fifty Wives and that her daughter Sorrow is called "The Oracle". Then the book gets well.... confusing as they stumble across a farm and meet a guy called Bradley and his son Dust and live on the farm and this is their story. The thing about this book was the writing was addictive and you just wanted to keep reading it to try and find out what happens , the only thing is you never do but you hold a candle to this book hoping that things will improve and you will find clarity but again it never comes, it didn't for me but you might have better luck.
I'll be interested if anyone else has read this, what their views of it are ?

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

  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...
