Review: Bewitching :The Kendra Chronicles - Alex Flinn - February 2012

Are you a fan of renditions of favourite childhood tales ? Have you read Cloaked, Beastly and Towering by Alex Flinn ? If so, then get ready for Bewitching which unlike her previous books follows more of a collection of tales rather than focusing on one in particular. 
Bewitching tells the story of Kendra the witch who pops up occasionally throughout the other series especially in Beastly. The first story that is touched on in Bewitching is the lovely tale of Hansel and Gretel where Kendra and her younger brother Charlie are wandering in the woods and stumble across a gingerbread house , this is where Kendra first learns that she is a witch. The second tale takes us to the land of France where we meet the story of The Princess and The Pea and then of course to Titanic times where we read what really happened in The Little Mermaid. However, though there may be a few stories touched on in this book, there is one main tale threaded right along the book and that is of a modern day Cinderella except in this case the orphan girl was in fact the evil Stepsister and lied to get everything she ever wanted and needed.
A fun story, however I would suggest that you only read this one if you loved the others as it can be a bit confusing with the jumping in and out of the different stories as it flips from chapter to chapter. Readers, though if you love renditions then Bewitching by Alex Flinn is the book for you.

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...
