Review: Scarlett Undercover - Jennifer Latham - May 2015

Were you like me a fan of the tv show Veronica Mars ? Or Loved Nancy Drew and Harriet the Spy books ? If, so then Scarlett Undercover is the read for you as we meet Scarlett who is a teen detective and alongside her cop friend Emmett , she helps to solve crimes for those clients who can't exactly go to the police without looking much like a fool. Driven to solving crime after her father was killed , Scarlett has started up a nice little business. In Scarlett Undercover , she is hired by Gemma Archer - a nine year old girl who is worried about her brother and believes that he played a part in the murder of a family friend after his death had been ruled a suicide by police. As Scarlett, heads deeper into this case and more danger follows , she discovers not only the truth of what has happened but also that this case has to do with her father's murder and is connected to her family geneology  which was passed through as a bedtime story from her father. Read as Scarlett is thrust into a world of magic, jinns and muslim culture and that she has been born into something much bigger than your usual teen solving detective.
Scarlett Undercover was a fun story and quite fast-paced and I look forward to seeing what else Jennifer brings along to the writing world and fingers-crossed that somewhere in the mix might be the possibility of more adventures featuring Scarlett.

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...
