The Tokyo Cover Girls (The Tokyo Cover Girls, #1)

Review: The Tokyo Cover Girls - Book #1 Tokyo Cover Girl Series - Jackie Amsden - May 2016

 When I saw this book advertised, I knew I wanted to read it as I quite enjoy reading novels that are set in the fashion world and about modelling. What I didn't expect and I am sure alot of readers will be surprised was that it would become quite an intense suspense novel that would delve not only into the world of Japanese gaming shows and we all know how crazy they can be but also into Japanese gangs and missing persons all in the name of entertainment purposes. For three girls Hailey, Blake and Jess - they thought that coming to Tokyo wiould help set their careers off on the right path and help set them up for the modelling world. However what they will discover is something more dark and sinister in store for them as the three girls are wecomed to an audition for a million dollar contract - the thing is only one can win the spot and in order to win , the girls must face a series of challenges and there can only be one winner. This storyline is the main one and we learn that it is dangerous as blasts from the girls pasts , their secrets come into light and will be used to gain advantages . The other storyline that runs parellel to the competition is the story of how there have been quite a few models from America etc going missing in Japan. Is the competition connected to the missing girls and will Blake, Hailey and Jess be added to the Missing Persons list or will they find a way to work together or will they find themselves in it to win and sucked into the competition with no way out but deadly consequences..
I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to seeing what else Jackie Amsden brings to the table and particulary intersted in the next in this series as it ended with a slight cliffhanger.

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
