Review: The Elite - Book #2 The Selection - Kiera Cass- April 2013

This book I have been waiting to read for ages, as I managed to score an ARC of the first novel back before it was released. However, things have gotten in the way so I have had this sitting on my Ipad for a few months now and then I think I must have seen something yesterday that sparked my interest back with this book, so this morning with my cup of tea - I read it from cover to back , in one sitting. I love this series so much as it mixes my two favourite genres/things together we have the Dystopian feel of the future society and then we have the Reality TV show of the Prince picking his princess - A Cinderella Story. In The Elite , we read as it is down to six girls at the beginning and then four and slowly it dwindles down to three girls. Celeste - the spoilt brat , Kriss and America . In The Elite, we read as America is still torn between her love for Aspen and the new found love she has for Prince Maxon. We can read that she wants to be with the Prince, but is filled with self-doubt as she is near the lower scale of the castes. This novel is one that if you are a crier in books, then about three quarters of the way through , you will need tissues as my eyes started to water. This incident casts more doubt into America's mind as she wonders to become Queen do you need to lose all that you are and the compassion and empathy towards others- especially those you love and desire. Near the end of this novel, our minds start to waver as we wonder if America will be the chosen one or whether it will be Kriss as she seems to be more accepted of the Royal's mannerisms etc.  With a boost of help from those who America loves and has come to adore, can she prove to the King and Queen and Maxon that she is the one he should be with.
Find out in Book #2 The Elite and now I cannot wait to read the SS - The Prince and await for Book #3 - The One.

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
