Review: Always Emily- Michaela MacColl - April 2014

Oh, how I love renditions and stories based on the Bronte sisters and my favourite classic tales of Wuthering Heights and Jane Eyre. Always Emily takes us into the family life of the Brontes starting with the death of their mother and two sisters and then Charlotte's move to boarding school and eventually Emily's.  Emily is unhappy at school and somehow ends up sick and sent home where she is comfortable wandering through the Wuthering moors which inspired the book "Wuthering Heights". Soon Charlotte returns home after the school catches her writing about handsome Dukes etc as this is deemed inappropriate for a governess. During this time though, their neighbour Mr. Heaton has been killed and it seems that is son Robert stands to inherit the entire fortune but Robert has a secret, a dark one that the Bronte Sisters seem fit to discover and sought out the truth as he is hiding and making his sister Rachel go mad so he can inherit everything and he is using his powers and connections as a Freemason to make it work to his advantage. Can the girls stop him before he commits his wicked ways with Rachel and have her admitted to the asylum. This event is where the book "Jane Eyre" was inspired from.  
If you love the Bronte Sisters, then Always Emily is the perfect read for you and I will state that you will find it as awesome as I did and enjoyable and worth your time.

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

  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...
