Third Degree

Review: Third Degree - Julie Cross - March 2014

Third Degree by Julie Cross reminded me of the similiar writing style to Jennifer Blackwood's Unethical and Foolproof. Third Degree introduces us to Izzy Jenkins aka Dr. Isabel Jenkins MD who by the way is only 18 years old. How is this possible, you are thinking ? Well, Izzy Jenkins is a child progidy who was homeschooled and then went to college at 12 years old and by the time she was 18 , she had three PHD's under her belt and was already to move onto the next step - getting into the John Hopkins Medical Residency programme. That was the plan until she failed, the first thing she has ever failed at . Now she must take six months off to re-discover what she wants and then she can re-apply for the following year. This part reminded me a bit of the beginning of the TV show Hart of Dixie when Zoe Hart was already for her residency, only to be told they wouldn't be giving it to her as she needed to find a way to improve her bedside manner as she was a great doctor but not a people person. As Izzy is only 18 years old though, she can pass as a freshman starting a new year at College. Now with only time on her hands , she can get the college experience she missed out the first time around. This time College to Izzy will be about learning friendships, all about boys and partying and in her case no hooking up with Professors but RA's are allowed. 
For a fun New Adult Contemporary College Romance read and if you have read Jennifer Blackwood's series , then check out "Third Degree" by Julie Cross today.

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
