Review: The Coldest Girl in Coldtown - Holly Black - September 2013

If you are one of those few people out there who don't think that Vampire Fiction is dead and buried and a thing of the past, then you will love Holly Black's new book "The Coldest Girl in Coldtown". For me, I was in two minds with this book as it started off amazing and quite captivating with the main girl Tana waking up in the bathtub after a hard night's party to a room filled with dead people and her ex-boyfriend jerk Adrian tied to a bed post and next to him on the floor a vampire named Gavriel. The book then jumped into the past where Tana explained the history of Coldtown with it's different vampire attacks over the years and then a lot of memories of when her mother was bitten by a Cold one and had the Cold Disease which is the Vampiric disease. The novel then goes to Tana helping out Gavriel as it seems he is in some trouble and Adrien tags along and we wonder whom Tana is more attracted to and it seems that Gavriel is more her type . From then on , it gets a bit slow and for me the story doesn't flow as well as it should as it continues to jump back and forward in time. However , in saying that if you are a fan of Vampire Fiction and all things Supernaturally Sexy then this is the book for you. Come Join the Cold Ones with The Coldest Girl in Coldtown by Holly Black.

    I love the ending. I think that some might be begging for sequels, and whereas I'd like to see more from this world, I do like where it was left.

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
