20 Minutes Later (20 Minute Series #2)


Review: 20 Minutes Later - Book #2 20 Minutes Series - Daniel Hurst - April 2020


Set 20 minutes later after Book one 20 minutes on the Tube, we have a mixture of some of the characters from the first book and a few new ones- some we glimpsed in the first book, but didn't go into details about their stories. We have Jelena and Bodgan, Jelena has finally been rescued away from her captors and Bodgan is reunited with the girl who he loved at school, and saving her has reignited his spirits. We meet Jelena's captors, one who ends up being murdered while the other set off a bomb and kills their elderly neighbor. The explosion is one of the main storylines for this book which introduced us to several new characters from the 999 operators to a few neighbors and then the ticket holders from the UK to France line. Remember Harry who was off to visit his dad for the first time and sadly his dad jumped in front of the Tube in Book #1. This book also has the meeting that would have ruined his life and sent him to jail for fraud and we meet a few of his co-workers and the moment they learn he is dead. I love this series as it is different as each chapter focuses on one character for the 20 minutes and it flows very nicely as well as it solidifies that there is always more than one side to a story and everyone views life differently.  This series is very personable as you can't help feeling connected to all the characters and becoming invested in their lives even if it is just for a short while. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series - 20 Minutes in the Park.

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
