Bad Girl School

Review: Bad Girl School - Red. Q. Arthur aka Julie Smith - December 2013



Deborah aka Reeno is someone who in order to escape from her reality, she burgles homes and sells the items as they can help with her sister's illness and in hopes of finding a cure. When the last heist goes wrong, Reeno finds herself bundled up and dropped off to a boarding school in the middle of nowhere - St. Joans. While she is here, her ability to see auras is in full blast and if that's not all she has a giant cat called Alpha Beast talking to her yet only she can hear him. He has told her that she is the "chosen one". Here at the school, Reeno will learn all about her magical abilities and in doing so along with the help of a group of other students who also have abilities break a few curses including the one on her family where the oldest in each family gets ill and dies young. Can Reeno by traveling back to the Mayans help break the family curse but also save the world from ending in 2012? Normally I am not a fantasy reader, but as this book was set in a boarding school it didn't feel as an over the top fantasy read as featured a few real moments. The only thing that fell short overall of this book is the cover which clearly identifies that it was one of the early books in the self-published era when indie authors were just beginning. As academy and boarding school books are back in, I believe with an updated cover this book could sell more as it was an enjoyable YA fantasy read overall.

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
