Review: Life After Theft - Book #1 LAT Series - Aprilynne Pike - April 30th 2013
One of the things that I love most about being a book reviewer blogger, is that I get to sign up to all these awesome sites and recieve ARCs to great books. Life After Theft by Aprilynne Pike was available through Eidelweiss Books. Taking a break from her fantasy series , Aprilynne Pike decided to try her hand at something different. At first I wasn't sure what to expect and I can definitely say that this is one of those times where readers do not judge the book by it's cover.
Life After Theft takes us into the world of Jeff - he has just moved to a new school from Arizona and his wish of fitting in is about to go out the door as he stumbles across a girl lying in the school corridor. The girl turns out to be a ghost of former Miss Popular Kimberlee Schaffer who died over a year ago. It seems that Kimberlee has been waiting for someone to see her and help her carry out one thing before she can pass over to the other side. While on earth, Kimberlee was a severe Klepto and now in order to move forth she must return EVERYTHING that she ever stole, but being a ghost she needs help and since well.... Jeff is the only one who can see her, it's his duty.
Read as Jeff is embroiled into the life of Kimberlee and her thefts, from jail visits to suspensions and even the possibility of expulsion. Jeff will do absolutely anything and everything to get rid of Kimberlee - the former Popular chick.
Life After Theft reminded me a cross between The Ghost and the Goth series by Stacey Kade and a modern take of Robin Hood.

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...
