Pusher (Living Out Loud #3)


Review: Pusher - Book #3 Living Out Loud (LOL) Series - Denise Jaden - May 2018
After Kass left  Eli's band at the end of Book #2, she hightailed it back home to her apartment she shared with her Dad only to discover it wasn't empty as it should be. Hope - Kass's half-sister has gotten herself caught up with the wrong people and now Kass wanting to be everyone's savior has landed herself in the middle of it all. In Kass's mind, if she helps Hope, she can repay Eli's band for the damage she caused.  Kass is about to discover that her half-sister is into something deep and part of a crew that sells "Options" to Teens in High School. As Hope has already graduated, she can't go back under, but Kass, on the other hand, is still at high school, so she reluctantly agrees.
Meanwhile, Eli is back home as his mother has taken a turn for the worst and it looks like this time, she might not come home from the hospital. This part touched me as I know what it's like as I was overseas when my mum ended up in the hospital, and this time she didn't come home. Eli wants to make sure Kass is alright as to him; she is his drug.  During the book, Eli also gets a job to help pay back Steve for the damage Kass made. I have to admit I hate the relationship between Kass and Eli as they are a toxic pairing at the least. We have Kass whose family is filled with Mental health issues, and she has a savior complex, wanting to be everyone's hero and save the day. Then we have Eli who acts like he is a tough guy who doesn't need his family, yet he is so eager to swoop in and save Kass from her troubles - yet, of course, she doesn't want to be saved at all and isn't asking him too.  I am interested to see the direction of this series, and I do Hope gets her penance as I hate her character also - she is a manipulative liar.

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
