Review : Paradise Lost - Kate Brian

-


As the library is suddenly going on a Kate Brian "Private" series shopping spree and buying the rest of the books in the series. Ive decided to catch up on the ones Ive missed. So last week we had Book #10- Suspicion and today we have Book #9- Paradise Lost.

Boys are so confusing. I don't know why they say Venus and Mars. I mean, Mars and Venus at least have something in common they're planets. It's more like Mars and a bowl of soup.

Review: Paradise Lost - Book #9- Private Series - Feb 2009

With the reprinting of the Private series comes flash new covers , though in my opinion I prefer the older covers better., The one I had and the new one is on the left, whilst the old style cover is on the right. I think the older cover gives the books a more Gossip Girl/ The Hills style to them.
In Paradise Lost we see the actions of Sabine - Arianna's half-sister , Remember Arianna was the one who killed Thomas and Sabine -the one who killed Cheyenne and harmed Ivy and Josh. We see Sabine arrested with the attemped murder of Reed and all Reed can't wait is for the end of school to finish so that she can go home and hide from the scandals.tragedies and secrets that being a Billings Girl and an Easton Academy student requires. However, when you are friends with Noelle Lange, plans don't turn out how you want them too. Noelle is heading with a group of friends to St.Barths for vacation and she has invited Reed along. It is on the island that she discovers what the girls called the "Upton Game". Upton Giles, the hottest guy around and each summer a girl will win his attention and this summer it looks like Reed is coming first. However we discover that maybe the attraction between Upton and Reed is not just a summer fling and secondly, somebody wants Upton to themselves and will stop at nothing to achieve it as we read how Reed has two near-deaths and a third that could result in being lost at sea or worse killed as she is pushed overboard at the end of the story ?
Will Reed discover who wants her dead before its too late or has Reed met her end as she plunges overboard in the last chapter on the final page.

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
