Review: Risk - Fleur Ferris - July 2015

Have you ever chatted to someone online in a chat room and never really wondered whether they were who they said they were ? Reading Risk got me seriously thinking about how when I was younger, I would hop onto MSN Chats which are now disbanded and chat away and you would have private messages and never really thought much about it. You would happily share your A/S/L and sometimes even your email address and cellphone number and if you wanted to take it a step further send them a selfie. You never really think that who you are chatting to could be lying about who they are , how old they are etc. In fact it never crosses your mind that you could be sharing your details with a sex offender or worst. In Risk we meet two friends Taylor and Sierra who have been chatting to this guy Jacob online , but it is Sierra he asks to meet and being the ever reliable friend Taylor covers for her , what will happen though when no-one hears back from Sierra for two days and her friends then realise something is seriously wrong ? Risk covers the ugly side of chatting online to strangers and that you cannot completely 100% trust those you chat online as there are some dodgy ones out there. I think this is one book that every teen should read and should be shared in schools to teach them the dangers of cyber chatting.

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

  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...
