Verum (The Nocte Trilogy, #2)

Review: Verum - Book #2 Nocte Series - Courtney Cole - February 2015

For those who read Nocte, you will remember that the book had an edgy side to the story and it turned out that Finn was dead and not visiting the hospital as the readers thought and we learned that the guy Calla meet was in fact her boyfriend Dare prior to the accident. In Verum, Dare thinks it is best that Calla gets away from her family funeral home and they travel to Whitley which was her mother's estate in England. Here Calla will learn about her mother's family and their wealth, seeing as Calla is the last heir to the Whitley fortune by blood as we discover Dare has more than just a boyfriend connection to Calla - don't worry their relationship is not incestuous. Whitley holds alot of dark secrets and memories , which Calla is about to unravel - could being here push her more over the edge than she is already ? As the book goes along, we start to wonder if Calla is in fact the crazy one and that it runs in her family as she is hallucinating, seeing ghosts and hearing things or is it her memory trying to come back in fragmented pieces revealing the things she has blocked out and tried to forget ? We also are revealed more about the accident that occured and the lead-ups and to finish off readers, as I don't want to spoil the story but OMFG - the ending of Verum will leave you going what the.... just happened and WOW what a twist and then if you are like me, you will be sitting on the edge of your seat waiting for Lux to arrive so you can find out about Dare.
 If you love Psychological New Adult novels with a twist , then Verum is definitely the read for you.

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...
