Review: Becoming the Dark Prince - Book #3.5 Stalking Jack the Ripper Series - Kerri Maniscalco - July 2019


Ever have those days where you want to read, but everything you try is just not your cup of tea and grabbing you? I was like that yesterday as it took me 5 times to get to something that would keep my interest - everything else -the four previous titles were just DNFs. When I get like that and I just really want to read, I find novellas are an excellent tool as they just hit the reading spot and they end up being quick reads as well. This was one I have had on my Kindle for a couple of years as I enjoyed Books 1 and 2 but sadly Escaping Houdini was a DNF. This book is set just after the Houdini but still at the same time upon the ship from the UK to the US. There have been a few murders upon the ship and it looks like Thomas Cresswell - our Dark Prince aka Dracula and Meso aka Faust along with Audrey Wadsworth have captured the killer, but he isn't confessing to all of the murders - has Jack the Ripper stowed away on the ship and entered US grounds? In Becoming the Dark Prince, Audrey is hurt in a fight and Thomas is trying to hold back his fighting instincts as he finally declares his love and intentions for Audrey - can he hold the beast back that his father says is inside of him? We also catch the end of the fling between Liz ( Audrey's cousin) and the budding illusionist Harry Houdini. If you love YA historical fiction, then this is the series for you as it not only has a strong historical focus but also a hint of fantasy and romance set in the mid to late 1800s.

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
