The Ones Who Got Away (The Ones Who Got Away, #1)

Review: The Ones Who Got Away - Book #1 The Ones Who Got Away Series - Roni Loren - January 2018

This has been a series that has been sitting on my device for quite a while now and as readers of my reviews know, I have tried to make 2021 a year of cleaning my older books off. The Ones Who Got Away grabbed my attention those many years ago as it is about the survivors of a school shooting and set 12 years later. For a group of teens, they were the survivors of their school prom when two students Joseph and Trevor decided to bring guns in and shoot those there that night. On that night, when the shooting started Liv was in the closet with Finn and when the shooting started, he left Liv and ran to his date Rebecca which left Liv alone and vulnerable. Now twelve years later, a documentary is being made and the survivors are back home in Long Acre to tell their story of that night. Liv hasn't seen Finn since that year and now they are back in the same proximity but none of them are the same. The book then jumps to Liv meeting up with other survivors Rebecca, Taryn, and Kincaid to open up the time capsule where they wrote letters to their future selves of what they wanted to achieve. Liv was going to be passionate and live her life and spend her time creating with her photography but instead, she is stuck in a workaholic environment building websites for people and hasn't had any passionate relationships. When Liv and Finn are reunited, are they ready and open to a second chance romance or are they both still suffering and damage from that fateful night? Find out in this edgy second chance romance by Roni Loren - The Ones Who Got Away.

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
