Review: This Might Hurt - Stephanie Wrobel - February 2022

Two sisters, Kit and Natalie Collins, are differently grieving the loss of their mother. Natalie focused on her high-power position at work, while Kit joined a six-month self-improvement program at Wisewood. Wisewood is set on a remote island with no contact with the outside world including family. Natalie receives an ominous email about Kit and goes to Wisewood to bring her home. When Natalie arrives at the island though, it looks like no one was expecting her especially not Kit, but when Natalie discovers that Kit is more invested in Wisewood, will she be able to separate her from this place and bring her back to reality, or are their more suspect things happening that will lead Natalie and Kit in danger? The other storyline in this book was a flashback of a young girl who grew up with a controlling and abusive father, she found her outlet in the art of magic and fell head over heels in love with a boy named Gabe who loved magic just as much as she did. Then tragedy happened and the boy died and the girl vanished and years later popped up again on Wisewood with a new identity. Someone else on the island knows about her past and wants justice for Gabe's death and will do everything in his power to get revenge and destroy the person for what they did. This book for me though the ending fell flat and it left me a tad confused, especially as it was also open-ended. Readers, who know my reviews over the years - will remember that I am a strong ending person- I love a good rounded conclusion whether it be happy or sad - just let the ending reflect the story as a whole and make sense. Overall, this was a good cult thriller but it did leave me still a little confused about what I read but hey, who doesn't love a good cult thriller tale?

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...
