Demon Road (Demon Road, #1)

Review: Demon Road - Book #1 Demon Road Series - Derek Landy - August 2015

From the writer of the teen series Skulduggery Pleasant , author Derek Landy has decided to write a new series called "Demon Road". Reading this book, though it is ideally aimed at teens and young adults , it is a book that if you fall into the "adult" reading category and love your authors like Kelley Armstrong, Chloe Neill, Keri Arthur and Charlaine Harris , then you will feel right at home with Demon Road as the content isn't really apporpiate for younger audiences as I found it is quite a dark novel with parents eating their children in order to stay young and have eternal life to demonic cars that eat people in order to stay alive. Reading this book, I actually could imagine it like the TV series "Supernatural" and the main guy Milo reminded me of Jensen Ackles's character Dean. In Demon Road, we meet Amber who has just turned sixteen and discovered that her parents and their friends are Demons and that hundreds of years ago they made a deal with a demon called The Shining Demon to live eternally. In order for this to happen, each couple takes turn in having a child and then raising it till they reach sixteen , killing the child and eating them. It seems Amber is too strong-willed to let this happen and with the help of her newfound friends Milo - Ghost of the Highway and Glen - who is trying to get rid of the Deathmark so he can live , she will try and make her own pact with the Shining Demon for her life. 
Demon Road is quite a big book, but do not let that put you off reading it as once you begin you will not want to put it down and it will also open your mind to all the different supernatural creatures out there in the world as the threesome met various ones along their road trip down Demon Road.

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...
