Review: Just South of Biloxi - Book #4 Aslyum Series  - Lauren Hammond - July 2015 

Firstly though this is supposedly Book #4 in the series , it can be read as a stand-alone novel and pre-warning the book does end on a major cliffhanger and leaves you hanging halfway through the story which I found quite annoying as I was really getting into the book and then it was like -"all finished" and no warning. What we do glimpse from this books though and it is a quick read is that the main female character had an aversion to falling in love as falling in love only led to being hurt. This book follows Aurora or Rory's debutante year and the falling into love with her best friend Edward but with love Rory is about to prove her hypothesis that love can not only lead you to being hurt and betrayed but often when you love someone so much it can cause you to become crazy which leads the reader up to the night where Rory was taken away to the Asylum that fateful night of her Deb Ball and the night she spoke those three words "I love you" for the very first time only to have her love chucked back at her and turn into a powerful hurt.
 If you love gothic type novels with a hint of Southern Charm then "Just South of the Biloxi" is the read for you, but then if you aren't one for major cliffhangers - then stay away .

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...
