Olivia Decoded (Olivia Twisted, #2)

Review: Olivia Decoded - Book #2 Olivia Twisted - Vivi Barnes - September 2016


Olivia fell in love with Jack and then eight months ago , her world came crashing down around her as she discovered she had a grandfather - a wealthy one at that , her boyfriend was part of a hacking business and then she was kidnapped by a criminal ring organised by Jack's boss at the time Bill Sykes - he is kind of like the Fagan of this story. It could be because of the title Olivia Twisted but throughout the series especially Book #1 I kept liking it to the classic tale of Oliver Twist. Now Eight months later , Bill Sykes is dead and Olivia has been living with her grandfather and has not seen Jack since the day he decided his identity as Z was worth more than Olivia and her love. It's Valentines Day and Olivia it seems has a secret admirer but things aren't as innocent as that as it turns out that this secret admirer is in fact stalking Olivia and stalking = danger. During this time , the path leads back to Jack and his crowd as Olivia enlists them to help her solve who is stalking her and why ? Especially when it seems that Jack aka Z is under attack as well. Who is wanting Olivia dead and who is trying to frame Z for the job ? I have to admit I personally was a little disappointed with Book #2 as to me it fell a little bit flat compared to Book #1 which I absolutely enjoyed. I guess I was hoping for a bit more of a hacktype story rather than a teen romantic suspense and even the suspense in Olivia Decoded was not as intense as I had hoped for. Other than that , it was a good YA read with a hint of romance and suspense chucked into the mix.

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...
