Review: Bad Kids - Zijin Chen - September 2014


This month I have felt a bit of a reading slump, and this one was on my Libby App. I was in two minds as I never have read any books set in Asia. I was captivated by the title and as I was reading it, I was immediately drawn into the book. We first meet Zhang who has been working up to killing his parents’ in-law and so he has found the perfect crime scene and way to murder them. Or he thought it was as turns out at the park with a camera three friends who have captured the whole thing and now can prove it was murder. Chaoyang and his friends need money to survive as his two friends are on the run from the orphanage, they plan to blackmail Zhang. What will happen though when Chaoyang's friends come up with a plan to get back at his stepmother and accidentally kills his young stepsister. Soon Chaoyang and his friends are stuck in the middle of several murders and must figure out how to get away with murder and throw the cops off their scent. This was such a great fast-paced thriller and the perfect read if you want to read a book set in a different continent and translated into English. Fans of the series Teen Killers by Lily Sparks will enjoy Zijin Chen's book Bad Kids.

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
