Nowhere But Here (Thunder Road, #1)

Review: Nowhere But Here - Book #1 Thunder Road Series - Katie McGarry - May 2015

For the past seventeen years as long as Emily can recall , it's always been her mum Meg, her stepdad Jeff and then the yearly visit from her biological father Eli and he has always come to see them in Florida. Now seventeen years later, they have received an obituary that her grandmother Olivia - whom she has never met has died. With reluctance, the family head to Snowflake to pay their respects, though things are about to get interesting as it turns out she's not quite dead - she's dying but not yet in the grave. Eli has Emily is about to discover is the president of the motorcycle club The Reign of Terror and it seems that they have been fighting with the rival gangs which seem to actually enjoy inflicting pain and being the baddest group around . Now that Emily is in town, it has stirred up alot of hidden truths and a past that should have remained buried , a past that included Eli, Meg and of course Emily who is at the centre of it all and it all surrounds the first two years of Emily's life - a story and truths that she cannot remember. Eli has given Oz - an upcoming prospect , the job of keeping Emily safe which at first they are at each other's throats but of course as the story goes along - we can see where it's headed. What will be the end result though, when the truth about Emily and more so her parents are revealed and the pair of them will have to make a decision of whether they choose love or the life of a motorcycle club member as once you are in the family , it's hard to leave.
I enjoyed reading Nowhere but Here and it was a nice change to read a young adult version of a Motorcycle Club etc rather than the usual New Adult MC novels that tend to contain alot of sex etc, whereas Nowhere but Here touched on some of the MC aspects but in a more PGR tone. I would have loved to have seen more of Meg and her past or at least connection with her family, but maybe Katie has that up her sleeve for a later book.

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...
