Violet (The Outsiders Series Book 3)


Review: Violet - Book #3 The Outsiders Series - Sara Schoen - August 2018
We have had Rose and Sage's stories, and now we come to the youngest sister Violet. She has some making up to do to the foster kids at her school as she tried so hard to fit in, that she made fun of them.  Now that she realizes that being a foster kid isn't something to be ashamed of, she is discovering that they are a friendly bunch of misfits. Her family life is going well too as Rose is preparing for college and Sage is slowly warming up to the Williams. Sage and Sean have big news in Violet as well. I also liked how we discovered the origin of the care packages that featured quite prominently in Rose's story. In Violet, she meets Hunter who is another foster kid with a background eerily similar to hers. He decided to find his family and what happened to them when he did get the truth he was shocked and devastated. When he learns that Violet is trying to find her parents, he tries to talk her out of it as he doesn't want her to go through what he did as the truth may set you free, but it can also hurt the heck out of you. I did like how Violet touched a bit about her parents; I had hoped though that we could have seen more of them or their side of the story. Maybe a future book idea, Sara? As usual, this was another fantastic book by Sara Schoen and had a few edgier feelings coming out through the pages compared to the other books in the series.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
