77 Steps

Review: 77 Steps - Alisa Mullen - July 2015

Often it is our family who hold us back the most and who from the outside it can seem like that at times they want the best for us , but more so it is to protect their secrets from the world. Growing up Kelinda lived quite a sheltered life as her mother didn't let her spend alot of times out of the house except for during school time , so she never went to parties or hung out in the mall or spent time with guys. That was until one of her classmates invited her to watch her during her snowboard competition and so began Kelinda's first social trip into the world and she loved it , during the competition - one of the competitors and apparently the hottest guy there Rory takes a shine to Kelinda and during that weekend the pair spend a lot of time together. Then the weekend is over and reality sets in with the truth that Kelinda believes that what she had with Rory was just a fluke and a weekend fling as someone like that could never be interested in a girl like her. The truth though is that he loves her and so with much persuasion , the pair start secretly dating and then comes time to figure out a future plan with colleges and life. They start planning until one day, Kelinda recieves a letter from Rory breaking up with her and she leaves town never looking back. That is until her mother dies and she is forced to come back seeing as she is her mother's only living relative and we discover that Rory got a letter too. While cleaning out her mother's house, Kelinda comes across a box of letters that Rory had written to Kelinda and then the truth starts to unfold that he loved her all along and that everything including her birth was a lie - who is Kelinda really and will she be able to move on with her new knowledge and claim the love of her life or has he moved on without her ?
Find out in 77 Steps by Alisa Mullen, a story of standing up for yourself and making your way to what you want and deserve in life and that sometimes in order to grow, you must take a step back from your family and discover life on your own.

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.

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...
