Review: Tortured -  Kate Givans - Book #1 Tortured Souls Series - July 2014

After an accident which killed his best friend , Josh has been torturing himself by making himself feel guilty for his best friend's death with If Only's. Since that day, he has been a shell of himself until one night when he meets Willow at the Cemetery . She is standing on the roof but keep in mind she isn't trying to kill herself as Willow is a free spirited girl with just as many issues or even more than Josh. Over the main course of the novel, we will read as Willow and Josh connect and have a lot , and I mean a lot of back and forwarding between the two of them as in they get close and then they push each other apart. In a way, this novel was like a few of the New Adult Edgy books I have read , but nearing the end I did hope for something a little bit more as I feel that it finished just a bit early for my liking. Reader's do be warned that this book does finish on what I am hoping is a cliffhanger and quite abruptly. Other than that if you do like Edgy NA and books like Raw by Belle Aurora , then who knows you may just enjoy Tortured by Kate Givans.

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...
