All the King's Horses (The Katura Chronicles Book 1)

Review: All the King's Horses - Book #1 The Katura Chronicles - Kim Congram - November 2018
This book starts with the main character Emma Adira serving in the Katura army. She is one of their best soldiers and has made her way up as far as she can go in what is viewed as a man's world. During the first half of the book, we read as Emma helps serve on a mission for the current King of Katura. When the mission goes sideways, and people are either injured or worst killed, Emma helps save not only the King but also tries to save her team members. This results in Emma receiving a medal at high valor. About mid-way through the book, we read as Emma is in an on/off relationship with a fellow soldier Jack as well as the tragedy of the King's death. During this time, his son Felix takes the throne. Felix isn't like his father though and is weak-minded. Due to this, we are about to read as the throne is overtaken by the President and a General with a small army backing. This action throws the whole country of Katura into a turmoil with riots, deaths, and murder. As the country of Katura becomes a dictatorship and the life, Emma and her friends have known starts to be destroyed. The world of Katura need a strong leader, someone who will fight for what is right and fight her hardest is what Emma will do? Will Emma be the one to try and save Katura? I have to admit I was a tad unsure about this book and whether or not I would enjoy it as it didn't seem like my type of reading. It, however, was fast-paced enough that it kept me captivated and wanting to know more. I also really came to like and admire the main character Emma Adira. A powerful female role model.

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...
