Pretty Twisted Lies

Review: Pretty, Twisted Lies - Emily Bowie - June 2020

I have to admit I am in two minds about this book as it had interested me in getting a copy, though I went in pretty much blind. The first chapter which was a bit like a prologue had me captivated and intrigued to read more as I was sure I had stumbled into a stalker type story but alas I was proved wrong as the next chapter introduced us to our male lead Kip and then the next our female lead Kellie. The pair met when Kellie was in high school as she was sent by her father to a boarding school for girls - basically a school to keep her out of sight, out of mind - so that she wouldn't interfere with her parents' lives. At the school one day, just out of the gate - she meets a bad boy Kip. Kip has grown up in a life of danger as he now runs the bar his parents once owned and the McGrath Estate empire. Throughout the novel, we will read this forbidden romance filled with danger and angst between Kellie and Kip. Until one day, Kip discovers the identity of the man known as "The Suit" and that is he a whole lot more closer to Kellie than he ever realized. Thus begins Kip's journey to keep Kellie safe without her ever knowing he was a part of it, even if it means losing the one he loves in the hope he will one day get to be with her. What happens though when she moves on with her life and becomes engaged to someone else? Has Kip lost his chance or will Kellie's love for Kip still be strong that she will go to the ends of the earth to find him? Find out in this angsty NA dark romance "Pretty, Twisted Lies' by Emily Bowie.

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
