Accidental Cinderella (Accidental, #6)

Review: Accidental Cinderella - Emily Evans - September 2016

Ella has had an upheaval when it comes to her family life as her mother remarried her stepfather and then her mother died, and her stepfather remarried again and then he up and left her in her stepmother's care. When Ella receives a letter from an exclusive boarding school telling her that she has won a full scholarship, she can't believe it and that this is her ticket out of her step-monster's life. Ella starts at the boarding school and as soon as she arrives, she knows she doesn't fit in as everybody at the school is super-wealthy and she is average in all aspects. However, her mysterious benefactor has made sure that Ella is getting the full school experience like any other student. Ella makes friends with the Penworth twins Hale and Penelope. Hale doesn't date, but there is something about Ella that makes him want to reconsider and change his mind. As the book goes along, Ella soon discovers that something is fishy as people are telling her that the exclusive boarding school does not have scholarships - if they don't give out them, then who is paying for her schooling and clothes and pretending to be her school liaison? As Ella starts to dig it leads her to another student who will then unravel secrets about her past and who her father indeed is. I did like the ending of this book as it could have gone another way, but I loved how accepting the characters were and that they wanted to make up for lost time with Ella.

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...
