Review: Abandoned - Elisa Dane - February 2016

Hiding behind a facade can be one of the easiest and hardest things in the world to do at the same time. Tierra Owens is one of those who has a facade of a girl who likes to kiss and sleep around with guys. The truth is though that she only kisses and it is her way of getting herself to be distracted from what her reality at home is like. Tierra's mother is a druggie and alcoholic and someone who likes to play around and go from man to man. Tierra's life at home is a living hell, and when her mom goes on her away binges, it's the only time she feels free and safe. However, Tierra is about to discover that life is going to get more difficult when her mother's latest trip turns out to be a lie and Tierra discovers that she has been abandoned and left with no money for power, food, etc. At only seventeen, Tierra has to keep up the image of a healthy home. Otherwise, she will be taken and put in a group home till she turns 18. No-one has ever gotten close to Tierra except for two people in her life - Mattie and Kaylee. Kaylee helps Tierra to be the preppy, popular girl but when Mattie turns up, he starts to turn Tierra's life upside down as her past feelings and friendship with his start to flood back and soon Tierra's perfect facade starts to crack, even more so when her mother disappears for good. Can Tierra keep up her appearances or will someone discover her secret? What happens when Tierra's father shows up with a big secret for her especially when she discovers who her father's family is? I had personally hoped that in this book they would have discussed further her father's family and why her mom left her father and about life leading up to Tierra's birth. If you are in the mood for an Edgy YA Romantic Suspense tale, then check out Abandoned by Elisa Dane today.

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...
