Review: Panic - Lauren Oliver - March 2014

Every summer after graduation, the seniors all join in for a game of "Panic". Only one person can walk away with the winning and this year, the pot is worth $67,000 dollars. Each is entering for their own reasons and will do anything to win from threats, text messages, bribery and working together and manipulating their team-mates. This year's contestants are Ray Hanarahn - whose older brother Luke won the game a few years ago , when he was the winner of the last challenge joust. Dodge - he is in the game for revenge against the Hanarahn family and also to win the best medical care for his sister Dayna who entered the game the same year Luke did , but in her case she ended up losing and in a wheelchair after the joust part against Luke went terribly wrong. Natalie - wants to get out of their podunk town and go to Hollywood and become famous and will do anything to win , even if it means going behind people's backs and striking up deals all over the place and Heather - Heather wasn't planning on entering at all - not until her long-time boyfriend dumped her for someone else - someone more adventurous , so to prove him and everyone else that she wasn't just Natalie's DUFF and sidekick - she entered the games on a whim. As the days go by and the challenges tick pass , emails and threats are sent and delivered , people hurt, killed and disqualified . Who will eventually be the winner of Panic ?

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...
