Deviant King (Royal Elite, #1)

Review: Deviant King - Book #1 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - October 2019
With being on Quarantine as New Zealand went into Level 3 today, I have been trying to make a dent in my TBR Pile. This particular bullymance series, my friend has been telling me to read for a while now and it was an intense read and filled with a lot of angst. When Elsa was seven her parents died and she came to live with her Aunt and Uncle, she had to have surgery and all her memories of before her surgery have disappeared. All that remains are nightmares and snippets. Now she is ready for high school and starting at the Royal Elite where her guardians were alumni. She plans to go through her years here and then off to Cambridge University. On her first day though she befriends Kimberley and soon the two of them are the targets of bullying from the "Kings". The bullying from these guys almost borders on sexual harassment. This continues right on till their senior year when this year, they plan to make it "their year". However, things are about to get pretty intense for Elsa aka Frozen and Kim as they are thrust into the world of the "Kings". Kim has captured the attention of Xander and Elsa - Adrian ( the leader of the Kings). We catch glimpses where maybe Adrian was connected to Elsa somehow before her memory was wiped, but how can they when she has never lived here before? The latter part of the book has a love/hate flirting going on between Adrian and Elsa where he plays a sadistic jerk and she plays the "I hate you but I want your game". The book ends in a cliffhanger that reveals possible reasoning on why Adrian has it in for Elsa, which makes me want to find out more and I hope he changes his mind. The ending of this book reminded me a bit of Lisa Helen Gray's series The Wrong Crowd and their reasoning for bullying her. Deviant King was an intense read and one of the better bullymances. I am now looking forward to reading the next books in this series.

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...
