Cease & Desist

Review: Cease and Desist - Stephen David Hurley - October 2016

What if your past could determine exactly who you would be in the future? What if it could make you into something successful? Would you jump at the chance or would you look at your family and see what it has cost them and try and avoid fate? For Cease De Menich who has been cast as the modern-day equivalent of Joan of Arc, she has always been a natural on the stage. Cease is about to learn that it is genetics and that has passed through her bloodlines. Cease also believes she can hear Joan Of Arc speaking to her which reminded me of that TV show Joan of Arcadia. Now I was attracted to this book because of the cover; it looked intriguing and like it could be a bit of mystery/thriller as the cover gives off dark vibes. Unfortunately, this book to me was one of those odd reads which jump from scene to scene and leave you thinking - what have I just read as I turned to the final page, I still was a tad confused on what I had read and the storyline. Cease and Desist does, however, have something for everyone from Edgy content with the hints of Mental Illnesses and Suicide to Drama - with the Reality TV shows and the acting to Romance with the falling in love to Family saga with Cease living with her Aunty. Overall Cease and Desist will be one of those books where you as the reader will have to make up your mind to see if you enjoy it as for myself, I found the plot to be too busy and all over the place - hard for me to stay focused on the storyline.

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...
