Evil

Review: Evil - Tijan - May 2016

I have a few of this author's books on my e-reader to read and when I saw that she had released a new one called Evil, I quickly added it to my TBR pile. One genre which I can't read too much of as I went overkill a few years back is paranormal/supernatural . However, every now and again there will be one that is amazing and I can't put it down. That's how I felt about the majority of Evil by Tijan. This book started with a family of teens called the Braedens and we discovered that they were in fact half-demons. One of the sisters Shay , however hated the fact she had "evil" within her and tried to be as normal as possible. Turns out though, she was quite powerful and in fact her lineage is far more advanced and different than any usual half-demon out there. In Evil, we read as Shay's whole life that she has built for herself and what she knows starts to unravel and quickly as she discovers that her life and who she really is has been built on a foundation of lies. Though Shay feels like she has no-one she can turn to , she always has Kellen who A) she assumed was her brother and B) she thought he was just like her. These two have always been close and thick as thieves and as we go deeper into Evil, we discover just how close they really are and why . Without giving too much of the story away, as Evil is one that you have to read and as you turn the pages the story unfolds and new discoveries are made. Now comes the reason it is only getting four stars from me instead of five as the first half of the book was fast-paced , drew me in and had a few OMG moments and then the second half of the book for me seemed to drag and there were a few unanswered questions - one part in particular , I had hoped for a different outcome and read as I was thinking this is the moment and it never came. Then in other parts as I got near the end of the story, I thought ok - it must be nearing the end and the book kept going.  Overall , Evil was a good supernatural/paranormal story and if you love the genre then it is definitely one to check out and as demons do - devour the book in one sitting.

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...
