Review : Device- Free Weekend - Sean Doolittle - February 2023

Have you ever picked up a book that had such great promise, but as you start reading it the book eventually turns to be weird and a big fat mess? That's what Device Free Weekend was like for me, it was one of those books that have left me thinking what the heck did I read and why did I waste my time on this mess? It had so much promise with the seven friends reuniting after twenty/thirty years, at college the group of friends was known as The Stillwater Seven. They haven't seen a lot of each other as the years pass, but one of them is now a major tech mogul billionaire and has brought an island. He wants to treat his friends to a fun reunion catch-up. However, when the friends arrive and are asked to hand over their devices, they do reluctantly and enjoy their night of alcohol and catch-ups. The next morning though, their mogul friend Ryan has vanished and the house is securely locked down and a game begins. The friends soon realize that their billionaire friend Ryan is sick and he has gone completely bonkers and now they are trapped in a nightmare of a situation and if they aren't careful and don't follow the rules, then they might not survive the weekend. I felt that this book about halfway through began a jumbled mess and way too many lies for any person to keep straight and the book became hard to follow.  All I can say was that their friend Ryan had turned into one of those manic crazy Villians and his friends were his minions doing his bidding for him. Overall, Device-Free Weekend was a book that could have easily been a hit as it was a miss for me if it had been written differently.

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
