Are you a fan of Edgy teen novels?
Love reading books that can be seen as walking into the "dark side" of life ?
 
Review: The S Word - Chelsea Pitcher - May 2013.
WOW , when I picked up this book I didn't know what to expect but reading the back of the novel I figured that it was one that I might enjoy. It wasn't until I started reading the first page that I knew it was a book that would fall into my highly recommended list as it was an amazing and thought provoking read. The S Word , shows how easy things can be viewed in a whole different light and just how one tiny mistake can turn a persons life upside down and even worse it can drive the person who is the victim - the target into committing the act of suicide. As I was reading "The S Word" , my mind kept flashing back to the Lifetime Channel movie I had just watched recently "Sexting in Suburbia" - in a way The S Word reminded me of a cross between the film Sexting in Suburbia and the book Reconstructing Amelia. In The S Word , the main character Lizzie commits suicide after being bullied and then 2 weeks after the funeral strange things start happening and now her former best friend Angie wants to get to the bottom of the mess and find just who it was who drew her friend to suicide. In this last part it also reminded me of the book I read last weekend "Undone" by Cat Clarke. 
The S Word is one of those books that should be if you love reading edgy fiction , be placed at the top of your pile of books.

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
