Review: Falling for Autumn - Book#1 Falling for Autumn Series - Heather Topham Wood - April 2014

As a fan of New Adult books and after a while when you read a lot of them, you can see similiar themes emerging through the stories and yet each book is different in it's own way and just as great. Falling for Autumn starts off with Autumn attending a frat party with her roommate Lexi and friend Carly. These girls see Autumn as the quiet and studious type, but what they don't know is that she has re-invented herself to be this way. During high school, she ended up being nicknamed "Whorey Dorey" and was the subject to harrasment, rumours and then attempted rape. Everyone she thought she could trust even Coach Bridges all played a part in her torment. Now she is off in College, as a different person when she attracts the attention of Blake Preston, the school's star footballer . Autumn though has no interest in jocks or players and tries to steer clear, but it seems Blake has taken this as a challenge. As the book goes on, we see Autumn and Blake starting to fall for each other but then we discover a different side of Blake where he tells Autumn she isn't good for him. Readers start to wonder what Blake's story is and about his past ? During the latter part of the book Autumn returns home and is shocked when she hears that Coach Bridges is being released from jail . During this time, Blake also meets her parents and they run into some of Autumn's tormenters including the one guy she thought she loved Hunter. What will happen though, when Autumn decides to surprise Blake at his house, when his sister and mother appear and recognition from Autumn's past hits her ? Can Autumn ever open her heart up again to Blake or will the truth push her over the edge ? Can Blake prove to Autumn that he loves her and that he is sorry he lied about his past and reasons for meeting her ?
Falling for Autumn reminded me of K.A Tucker's Ten Tiny Breaths and Jessica Sorensen's Violet and Luke 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...
