Review: Sweet Jayne - K.Webster - May 2016

Lately, I have been in the mood for reading Dark Fiction and Edgy books. I haven't felt like reading romances as I seem to start one and get bored with it. One of my favorite dark fiction authors and an author whom I know I love everything she is written is K.Webster. I was scrolling through my Kindle and came across a 2016 book - Sweet Jayne. I have to admit though I enjoyed this book it irritated me at the same time.  The book starts with Nadia and her mother moving to America as her mother has married rich guy Donovan Jayne. He then adopts Nadia, which makes her his property per se. It's the first day of school, and she briefly meets Kasey and then like 10 minutes after their first conversation, she watches Kasey get kidnapped. The book then jumped ten years, and Nadia is back in town after three years away and engaged to the police chief.  It turns out she's in this relationship as she is still trying to piece together what happened to Kasey and what happened that day. This part irritated me as she endures so much abuse both physical and sexual to help save someone she only knew for ten minutes ten years ago. Seriously, who the hell would do that? When we got to the end of the story, I could understand why but it wasn't until the last chapter that we realize what her motivation was. We also have Kasper who is also on the police force and is so bent on revenge that he wants to ruin Nadia's life when really she was just in the wrong place at the wrong time and then you have the police chief who BTW is a total sicko that nobody realised and they just put up with his attitude as he is Chief. Come on people, bloody stand up for yourself or at least let others know your plans so that if something goes wrong, you have a back-up just in case. Lest not forget that since this is a K. Webster book, we have the ol' I'm sleeping with my adopted stepfather storyline too. Anyway, if you are in the mood for a dark, twisted and abusive read then check out Sweet Jayne by K. Webster which in fact is anything but a Sweet story.

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
