Withering Rose (Once Upon a Curse, #2)


Review: Withering Rose - Book #2 Once Upon a Curse Series - Kaitlyn Davies - May 2016

For those who have read the first book in this series, you will recall that an Earthquake struck and combined the world of Magic and Fairy tales with Earth and those who fell through the cracks into earth had to live with a world that hated and hunted Magic . Omorose was one of those Magical beings, before the Earthquake struck she was on her way to a neighbouring kingdom to marry the Prince even though they were both only seven years old. The Earthquake then struck and Omorose and her father were transported to Earth. During this time Omorose felt her mother die, which meant that the family's magical powers of nature were passed on to her. This power though came with a curse that every time she used it - a part of her soul would die. The faster her power went, the quicker she faded away. Hoping for help with her magic when she was now 17 years old , Omorose headed into the forest to sought out the "Beast" but what will happen when she arrives at the Castle and all is not what it seems ? One of my favourite themes to read about is renditions of fairy tales and classic stories which is where Withering Rose comes in as it is a reversal version of Beauty and the Beast which is #2 on my list of Favourite Fairy tales. Can the Beast help break Omorose's curse ? Or will she like in the movie Frozen realize the only way to save the ones she loves and cares about and to break the curse is to self-sacrifice herself ? 
Find out in this awesome fairytale rendition of Beauty and the Beast - "Withering Rose" by Kaitlyn Davies.

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...
