Review: The Final Gambit - Book #3 The Inheritance Games Series - Jennifer Lynn Barnes - August 2022

This is an author that I do enjoy and I had been enjoying this series, but have to admit out of all the books. This particular one though it was the end, it didn't have the same enjoyment for me as the other two. Avery is dating Jackson even though she really should be with Grayson and he was around here and there but not really - he was quite distant in this book and played the broody Bryronic character role. Xander is the best friend brother who finally meets his father and Nash - the older brother is dating Avery's sister Libby. This book starts with Toby being kidnapped and one of his daughters Eve turning up and asking for Avery's help. The thing though is she is the spitting image of Emily which puts Grayson into even more of a spin as of course his world previously revolved around Emily. Can Avery figure out who has Toby and at the same time continue playing The Inheritance Games as more clues and treasure hunts end up turning up throughout the book? I have to admit, if it wasn't for the money, I am sure Avery wouldn't want anything to do with this family as they are messed up, crazy, and have a lot of skeletons in their closet which makes you wonder just what the old man was really like as yes, his grandsons loved him, but seems everyone else wasn't too fond of his mind twisting games and riddles. I did find that this book left me with a small conclusion, but still a few open ends. I am interested though in her new upcoming release called The Hawthorne Brothers which contains four stories each from the Brothers' perspective. I would say, this book should only be read if you have read previously Books 1 and 2 in this series, otherwise, it will be confusing with the multitude of characters throughout each book.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
