The Snake in the Grass (Coleridge Academy Elites #0.5)

Review: The Snake in the Grass - Book #0 Coleridge Academy Elites Series - Lucy Auburn - June 2019
Following on the trend of bullymances comes a book with a twist, The Snake in the Grass is a prequel to the Coleridge Academy Elite series by Lucy Auburn. In this book we meet Brenna whose twin brother Silas has been accepted on scholarship with his violin and grades to the exclusive private school of Coleridge Academy. Brenna is happy for Silas but sad at the same time as it means they won't be together but she knows this is for the best but is it really? Brenna is about to have her heart ripped out as Silas heads to the school for Orientation week and when he returns home he is not the same Silas she knew. There is something off about him, a dark side that sometimes eerily resembles their father - a man that Silas hates. This book does not have a happy ending as something happened during Orientation week at Coleridge and left Silas unhappy and a changed man. This story ends for Silas at a tree called The Hanging Tree. However, for Brenna it's only just beginning as she has found a blog about the Scandals and underworld of Coleridge Academy and has now been passed the reins of the blog to carry it on and become the new person of Legacies - along with this is a place to Coleridge Academy where Brenna plans to attend and get revenge for her brother Silas. Of course readers, we all know after reading plenty of Bullymance novels that Brenna my dear has no idea what she is getting herself into. I am now looking forward to reading the next book The Pawn - Book #1 in the Coleridge Academy Elite series by Lucy Auburn.

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
