Olympic Village (Denver Athletics Academy, #4)

Review: Olympic Village - Book #4 Denver Athletic Academy Series - Devyn Forrest - 2020

Rooney has finally achieved her dreams of going to the Olympics in Paris, France and she has even won a gold medal among others including silver, bronze, etc. This is her once in a lifetime chance and is amazing how a girl from foster care came to the Olympics. I have to admit this book was a little bit less exciting than the others as by Book #4 we see Poppy has changed stripes and turned away from the bully we came to see in the previous three books and she's almost like Rooneys Frenemy and then we see more of Rooney's relationship growing with the three boys in this book Theo, Clinton and Zed.  We also know how tough and brutal those Russians can be as we all know the famous story of Tonya Harding who hired a hitman to attack Nancy Kerrigan - her opponent. This was highlighted in this book as Zed was attacked by Mishca - a Russian and whacked in the leg which halted his career as an Olympian runner. Rooney and her father finally have a heart-to-heart moment and the pair go back to the Diner where Rooney worked. Also, I did love the fact that Rooney kept in contact with the other kids in her foster home throughout the series as it was good to see that she hadn't forgotten them in her whirlwind journey and that she never forgot that she was once in the same position as them.  Overall, I am a fan of Devyn Forrest and look forward to seeing what new Bullymance series she may release in the future.

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
