Review: Black Box - Cassia Leo - March 2014

When I first saw the title to this book, it made me want to read it immediately. To me, the title of Black Box makes me think of two things - the black box in an aeroplane which as I was reading this story , I was not sure how I would cope as of course all we have been hearing on the news the past few weeks is the crash of the Malaysian Airline. The second which is still a sort-of sad song but is so catchy is the Black Box song written and sung by New Zealander Stan Walker who won one of the Idol programmes - think it was Australian Idol. This book was amazing and so heart-wrenching as we meet two characters Crush Slayer - yes that's his real name as he changed it via deed poll and Mikki Gladstone. The two of them met three years ago on what was to be the worst day of Mikki's life and one which would set their next meeting in motion. Three years ago, Crush was going to do something he regretted and Mikki ended up raped and beaten. He saved her, then they went their separate ways. Now three years later, they are both headed to LA for different reasons - Mikki's is to kill herself once and for all. Can this chance meeting be the one that will turn both their lives around and save them both or has fate got a different plan up their sleeve when their flight goes down , down , down. 
Find out in this awesome new book by Cassia Leo. One that all should read :) Very worthwhile.

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...
