Review: Absinthe - Winter Renshaw - August 2017



First off, I want to say that I enjoyed this book going in and for the majority of it, it was going to be rated 5Ps, but then near the endish chapters in Part #2, it started to slide downhill for me. This book had everything that I loved from the whole Social Media relationship to Teacher or in this case, Principal/Student forbidden love story and then horrible relatives. Halston is 18 and nearly 19 and signed up on a dating app called Karma under the name Absinthe which matches the color of her eyes. She starts chatting with a guy whose username is Kerouac as in Jack. It turns out the guy she has been chatting with is her new Principal Ford. I have to admit when they were describing the Principal, it got to me a bit as he just seemed way too young to be an actual Principal of a high school nonetheless. I think they should have made him a teacher who would have felt a bit more realistic. Anyone Halston and Ford are caught, and things blow up, and Halston is sent off to boarding school, and Ford's life comes crashing down. The next chapters are done one year, two years, five years, etc. as Halston can't stop thinking about Ford and puts a plan in motion to reunite with him and finally get him out of her system. What she doesn't know are the things that went down after she was sent away and Ford believes she was the cause of his life crashing down. Will Halston and Ford finally get their HEA or will life keep chucking obstacles in their way making it impossible for both of them to have an HEA?  Find out in Absinthe, a forbidden Principal/Student romance by Winter Renshaw.

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
