Trapped (Bullied, #4)

Review: Trapped - Book #4 Bullied Series - Vera Hollins - February 2021


I have been looking forward to this particular story ever since I started reading the Bullied series as I was fascinated by the dynamics between Blake and Jessica and the story of how he came to be her bully. As she never tried to go out of her way to annoy or hassle him and they had no connection whatsoever but from her very first day, she was Blake's target, and then we read in the third book of Sarah and Hayden's story that Jessica was starting to develop romantic feelings for Blake and she hated herself for falling for her bully - so cliched as she talks about in the book. This book starts with the "welcome party" that Blake held for Jessica in the cafeteria where she first met Sarah and goes from that point. As we had already some of the scenes from Sarah's POV, a little bit was repeats from her previous three books but a stronger focus on Jessica and Blake. One day, Jessica finally snaps at Blake and this is a turning point in the book as the pair have to have detention together and soon things change and we learn that Blake has some dark problems too and PTSD and how Jessica became his trigger. I liked the character of Jessica and so this was one of my most favorite books in the series. I am not sure how much I will enjoy the next book with Mason and Mel as they both have some high-pent up angst towards each other, that sometimes it feels a bit too much. On a side note - I loved how the first four books in the Bullied series when put together spell out the initial’s PTSD.  If you love bullymances and looking for one of the better bully series to read then check out the Bullied series by Vera Hollins today.

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...
