Unbeautiful (Unbeautiful, #1)

Review: Unbeautiful - Book #1 Unbeautiful Series - Jessica Sorensen - December 2013

The best thing about getting into a book slump, is the chance to go back and finally read those books from authors that you loved and have had sitting on your devices for a while. One of my early New Adult authors was Jessica Sorensen, I loved all her books as they are so easy to read and hit that exact spot of edginess. In Unbeautiful, we first meet Emery who lives in a strange town filled with rules and they take pills etc. It seemed like a bit of a cultish town. Emery can't wait to escape as she hasn't seen her brother in 6 months and she feels like she is losing control and herself and wants more. Emery then decides to apply for a college outside of the border and gets in and moves into the dorm. Finally, she is free from her family and mother's spies, or so she thinks. Ryler was hurt from an accident during foster care - he prefers to keep his voice to himself and now is a mute and signs. He also works as an informant for a dangerous man as he is trying to survive. From his first meeting of Emery, he can tell there is more than meets the eye and the pair connect. The pair are trying to survive and live their lives, but what happens when Emery and Ryler's lives crash when they both discover that Doc and Emery's Dad are the same person. Can Ryler protect Emery when she starts to receive threats? Will Emery let Ryler when she learns that he works with her father? Also why is Emery taking the pills and where is Ellis - they were the big questions which I hope get answered in Book #2. What I also loved about this book was Ryler's friends included Luke, Violet, Greyson and Seth which we had met in a couple of the previous series by Jessica Sorensen.  I am now looking forward to reading the next book in this series by Jessica Sorensen and fingers crossed for a happy ending for both Emery and Ryler. PS – I have a cover crush on this book.

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...
