Sharkbait (Natural History, #3)

Review: Sharkbait - Book #3 Natural History Museum Series - Erin Mallon - September 2022

I am in two minds about this book as the previous two in this series I absolutely loved so much and I have never laughed so hard in a book. That's why I was so over the moon excited to read Sharkbait but it just wasn't as good in my opinion. It's amazing how the main character can make or break the book, as Louise our Marine biologist who by the way hates water and can't swim, was just too much of a cold character for me and I found her irritating as she felt like those cold logical people who have sticks up their butt. It's like seriously, how can you be friends with Mabel and Calliope and be Ralph's sister when you act like this? You have all the love around you, seriously you even had a one-night stand - so freaking loosen up. There were parts of her character I did like, especially the jeopardy and her waking up from surgery. The rest though, she was like a wet soggy blanket. I feel for myself if it wasn't for the humour from the other characters like Calliope and Ralph, Mabel and Wally, and James and Iris- then the book would have fallen flat for me. The character I would love to see a book of is Iris - as long as she doesn't lose her sass as an adult, she is hilarious and awesome for a young girl.
Overall, it was a good read and worth being reunited with the previous characters, I just felt the side characters carried this book rather than Louise and James. I am now looking forward to what else Erin Mallon brings to the table.

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
