Review: All Fall Down - Book #1 Embassy Row Series - Ally Carter - February 2015

One of my favourite themes to read about in books is Spy Stories , especially where the main characters are teen girls and one author that does this amazingly is Ally Carter. She is the author of the Spy School series "Gallagher Girls" and the Criminal family series "Heist Society". So when she had realised a new series called Embassy Row which featured Politics and Diplomatic Immunity, I got excited and then I read some disappointing reviews on the book and after that I was a bit reluctant to read the book. However, I think this helped me with my enjoyment levels as I found myself liking it and in a way a couple of the characters like Megan and Grace in her own way reminded me of the Gallagher Girls. We learn that Grace's Grandad is a US Ambassador in the land of Adria and that she has gone to live with him after the death of her mother. After her mother died , Grace went a little crazy and was convinced her mother was murdered by the scarred man. What happens though when Grace sees the man in Adria and confronts him ? Is Grace really in danger or is it all in her head ?
Find out in Ally Carter's newest series "All Fall Down" - Book #1 in Embassy Row 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...

  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...
