See How They Run (Embassy Row, #2) 

Review: See How They Run - Book #2 Embassy Row Series - Ally Carter - January 2016

Grace is back for more adventures, though of course she is being viewed as crazy and unstable - it's all understandable as she discovers the truth surrounding her mother's death and the real person who shot the gun who killed her mother. If that wasn't enough, she is still being watched by the Scarred Man and is about to learn that as the daughter of on Adrian female - it is her turn to take a place into a secret society of Librarians who take care and preserve the actual Adrian History. This is a time honoured tradition that gets passed down through the female line when they turn sixteen. As Grace does some digging around the Society, she will learn that maybe this is what got her mother killed but what in particular ? As the book goes along , we read as Grace's older brother and a friend come home but only one will make it back to shore and as more people whom Grace loves gets injured or killed- she must build her courage back up and with the help of her friends discover the truth about why her mother was killed and why there is a target on her back wherever she goes ? See How They Run was a tad slow as a read but it makes up for it with the adventure and spy style that author Ally Carter is great at doing as she has done it in her other series Gallagher Girls and Heist Society. See How they Run ended in a twist and a cliffhanger that I didn't see coming , so I am now looking forward to seeing what lies ahead for Grace with the new revelation she has been revealed too.  The only downside for me was that the character of Grace - everyone treated her like she was a delicate flower and her character seemed a little whiny for me.
If you love Spy stories , Politics and Adventures then you will love the Embassy Row Series by Ally Carter.

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
