Until Friday Night (The Field Party, #1) 

Review: Until Friday Night - Book #1 The Field Party Series - Abbi Glines - August 2015

Ever since I first opened my first book of Abbi Glines - Breathe back in 2012 , I have been a huge fan of her different series . This one however, I was a bit cautious as I thought judging by the cover- which we should never actually do , that it was a football book and I had in mind a sort-of Friday Night Lights (TV show) in mind. I don't mind Football in novels , but it's never been a huge favourite of mine. Like the rest of Abbi Glines's novels , often their is more than meets the eye to her characters and they may seem one way to the world, but deep down they are wounded souls in need of someone either saving them or what we want most in the world is someone to talk to , to listen and not judge for what we have to say. Someone who will be their for us in our darkest moments. Until Friday Night follows our two main characters Maggie and West. Maggie has come to live with her Aunt and Uncle and cousin Brady after a tragedy which has caused her to develop selective mutism. Brady and everyone else around her just assumes she can't talk and is a bit slow in the head. The truth is that one night keeps haunting and she believes if she speaks again, she will have to keep re-living it with everyone's questions. West Ashby is one of the school's best football players, the other thing he is though is a player - he's the type of guy who uses girls for sex - definitely not boyfriend material. He is also hiding a dark secret, one that is slowly eating at him and causing him to act and lash out. His father is dying and his days are getting numbered . West finds himself attracted to Maggie and the two strike up a friendship which leads to him being the only one Maggie talks too. Can West help Maggie to start talking again and can Maggie in turn help West to let others know what's happening and inside the truth ?  Until Friday Night was actually one of the best books , I have read for a while as you know as a reader, you go through waves of book slumps . I'm looking forward to continuing going through my Kindle App and reading the remainder of Abbi Glines's books in her Rosemary Beach/ SeaBreeze Series etc.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
