Review: Die For You - Book #1 Red Thorne - Lauren Jackson - October 2023

At the beginning of the year, I saw on Instagram a new NZ company that had decided to give themselves a go at adding book bundles to their shop. At a very reasonable price, I thought I would give it a go and I am now hooked as you not only get an excellent brand-new book and good authors, but you also get a lovely bag of goodies. As many readers and followers of my blog and Instagram- NZGeekChic will know, I have only just gotten back into reading fantasy or as it's now been termed the last year to present time - romantasy. Which is romance meets fantasy - books most of us have been reading for years. Back in my late teens to mid-20s, I was obsessed with the Vampire and Werewolf world - think Bitten by Kelley Armstrong, Sookie Stackhouse series by Charlaine Harris, Morganville Vampires by Rachael Caine, and of course Twilight by Stephenie Meyer. Lauren Jackson's Red Thorne took me back to that time and even better, a bit closer to home aka across the ditch in Australia. It's a world where Vampires and supernatural creatures are living amongst us and Raya is about to walk into the Vampire's Den along with new friend Alex.  At the beginning of the book, Raya talks about how she lost her sister and mum in a car crash. Her mum died and her sister vanished. Watching a recent video, Raya catches sight of someone in the background who looks exactly like her sister Cora. Raya now heads to Red Thorne to find herself as she believes her sister could be a "vampire". While there she meets Hunter - a vampire who accidentally bonds with her. Can the pair of them find Raya especially when Hunter realizes the Vampire they are chasing is his brother Kian and he's one of those guys who embody the bad reputation "Vampires" get? Die For You by Lauren Jackson is an easy-to-read book and is also a great introduction for young adults to the world of Vampire fiction. Move over The Vampire Diaries by LJ Smith and Blue Bloods by Melissa De La Cruz and make way for the Red Thorne Series by Lauren Jackson.

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
