Going Down in Flames (Going Down in Flames, #1)


Review: Going Down in Flames - Book #1 Going Down in Flames Series - Chris Cannon - June 2014

Bryn is about to get the wake up and discovery of a lifetime as her sixteenth birthday nears when a stranger turns up and hypnotises her and tells her that she comes from a family of shapeshifters and that she is actually a dragon and not just any dragon but a rare kind as for centuries and in their history books - dragons have been told that it is impossible to cross-bred from different clans and Bryn's Mum is a Blue Dragon and her father is a Red Dragon. Just before Bryn was born, they escaped the Dragon world and was banished and told never to return as they had broke the rules by marrying outside their bloodlines and clans as also Dragons are told who they are to marry. Now Bryn is sixteen and coming into her dragon powers, she is to attend the Dragon Training Academy and face the world her parents escaped from. As an abonimation , she is shunned by many dragons especially one in particular - a blue dragon Jaxon whose father Ferrin was promised to Bryn's mother Sara. Bryn finds friends with a couple of the Black Dragons and Allies with a few of the Greens. Though she will have to learn how to survive and who to trust and not to trust as someone wants Bryn dead and will go to lengths to make that happen. If learning to be a dragon was bad enough and being a Blue/Red has made her one of the rarest as she can do more than both clans combined - she must try and stay alive and find out who is trying to kill her. For a Teen Shapeshifter Dragon Story , I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to reading more in the Going Down in Flames series as I want to see what happens with Bryn and Zavien as the book ended on a cliffhanger and whether she will get to see her parents again.

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...
