Review: The Broken Elf King - Book #2 Kings of Avalier Series - Leia Stone - November 2022

Near the end of 2023, I started reading a little bit of fantasy again and found myself really enjoying it - of course, now there is a new term for the fantasy I do enjoy, once described as Urban Fantasy it is now called Romantasy which is fantasy with romance sprinkled throughout the story. It's great if you aren't a high and epic fantasy reader which is a bit more involved storylines and a bit drier plot. After really loving The Last Dragon King, I decided to continue the series and now in Book #2, we move over to the Elf Kingdom. In The Broken Elf King, we have our King Raife whose family was killed years ago by the Evil NightFall Queen who resides over the human world. She believes that all magic should be wiped out and humans be in power. In Nightfall lives Lani with her Aunt. Her Aunt has been sick, so Lani took a loan to buy medicine but she struggled to pay it back and has now been sold into slavery.  She was delivered to the Elf Kingdom. Lani has a secret though, as she is half-elf though pretends to be human. She also has no elf powers that she is aware of, though we see throughout the book that she not only is an Empath but she holds a power that the Elf world thought was just a fairytale story. The thing is though that this power is so dangerous, that whenever she uses it - a part of her dies. Of course, we can see where this book ends up as King Raife falls for Lani but what will happen when she uses what could be her last breath to save the king? This book then took an SJM turn and reminded me of when Tamlin tried to wrap Feyre in cotton wool and she escaped to freedom. I have been enjoying this series as it not only shows the royalty has flawed but the lesser looked at females as the strong ones. They may not be the prettiest or the wealthiest but they are the ones that get the guy as someone who is on the plainer side, books like this made me realize that I too could go with someone good-looking as they would see the beauty in my heart which they do. Just like Lani, I too got my HEA with my Dark Knight. I am now looking forward to moving on and reading Book #3 which is The Ruthless Fae King.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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

  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
