Review: The One - Book #3 The Selection Series - Kiera Cass - May 2014

Do you ever get nervous when you read the last book in a series ? I know I do, I worry about how it's going to work out and whether the author has chosen the right ending for the book , whether the novel will live up to the others in the series or will it be a let down ? It's even worse when it is the last book in a series that you have LOVED. At the end of Book #2 we read as the girls from the Selection were left down to four contestants - America  , Celeste, Elise and Kris and that the rebels were nearing in with taking over the castle. Also of course , we saw that America was still tied between her love for Aspen and her new found love for Maxon. In The One, we discover who Maxon will choose when the time comes for his new wife, but is his choice the right one and will the "wife" be able to complete all the kingdom duties appropriately and without causing shame on the palace. Also tragedy will strike in "The One" for America's family but in doing so, America will soon discover the truth behind her father and his actions as well as who her true friends and family are. This is quite a nail-biting ending as we watch till the last pages the numbers dwindled down to two choices and both of them , one more so than the other are perfect matches for Maxon. Who will Maxon choose and will it choose out of love or duty ?  Will he choose who is best for him or who is best suited for the role of "Queen" and the Kingdom, one who can follow the rules ? 
Find out in this amazing and in parts sad finishing to a wonderful series by Kiera Cass and I look forward as I am sure many others will too, in reading the Short Stories that spin-off from the series.

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...

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...
