Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul

Review: Fierce Fairytales - Nikita Gill - September 2018


Earlier this year when I had a terrible day at work, I read a book called New Erotica for Feminists and I found myself laughing at it and it cheered me up. While browsing the new books at work, the other day this book caught my attention as the cover was similar. The author Nikita Gill also reading the back and inside cover had taken a feminist spin to the classic fairytales and shown them all from the heroes to heroines and even the villains in a brand-new light. This book was amazing and just what I needed as a relaxing read the other night. We had Jack climbing the beanstalk as a metaphor from getting away from the abusiveness in his life to Sleeping Beauty not needing a man to wake her up from her slumber after being pricked in the finger to why Ursula hated the mermaids and took her pain out on Ariel aka The Little Mermaid to Hansel and Gretel defeating the evil witch and not letting their parents dictate their future and how Bella wasn't as brave as she is portrayed but the real reason she did what she did - out of dependency.  If you love fairytales and wanting a 21st-century spin on the classic stories, then check out Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul as you will fall in love with the tales all over again and see them all in a brand-new light.

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
