Review: Allegiant - Book #3 Divergent Series - Veronica Roth - October 2013

One of the things I am always wary of is finishing a series as I wonder do I really want to finish it as will I be disappointed with the results or will I be happy with the way it concludes ? What amazes me though with the power of the internet is how people can go about their daily lives and bash authors in the process about their books because something didn't set right with them. Allegiant was one of those books that was bashed , so I made a point of not reading any reviews about it and from the first page, I was hooked and could not put it down. I did find about halfway through the novel - it got a tad slow for my liking but of course I persevered and OMG the last few chapters came and I had tears in my eyes and was like NOOOOOOOOOO - how could Veronica do that to us poor readers :) This was a tissue moment. As a reader, something I am not too keen on is the alternate POVs in chapters - one off/ one on. In Allegiant , Veronica Roth has taken a leaf out of Marie Lu's and Rachel Caine's books and written Allegiant in both Tobias aka Four and Beatrice aka Tris's POVs. In this instance though, I congratulate the author as she has done it perfectly and the story flowed beautifully. You will note thy readers, that in this review I am trying to skate past what the book was about as I do not want to spoil it for you, so I shall leave it with these parting words - if you wish to see how the series concludes, then what are you waiting for - get off your seats and grab a copy of Allegiant as readers it will be worth it as you turn that final page.

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
