Review: Husk - J. Kent Messum - July 2015

After reading Touch by Claire North and Starters/Enders by Lissa Price, I was interested in reading Husk when it came into the library. First off, the cover attracted me and then reading the blurb I was like hmm, this should be a good book since I liked the above books which were similar. In the future, dead rich people are still attached in their brains and on screens and for the good looking ones out there, they can get work for organisations doing what is called Husking. Which is basically renting out their bodies for the dead people to go and enjoy their nights out and experience their youthful times. If you are good at your job and handsome then it pays very well like it does for our main character Rhodes. He thought he was set for life until his workmates start getting murdered and going haywire. Rhodes decides to investigate and it leads him down a road of ex-husks that have either ended up dead, injured or insane and it all seems to point to one particular client . What will happen to Rhodes though when that particular client wants him exclusively ? Will his body be lost like the others or worst will he end up six feet under like his mate Miller ?
Find out in Husk which was a cross between Touch by Claire North and Starters/Enders by Lissa Price.

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...
