Wanting more adventures of Annja Creed - archaeologist who finds herself amidst trouble ?
Forbidden City (Rogue Angel, Book 5)
Review: Forbidden City - Rogue Angel Book #5- Alex Archer- March 2007
 Annja Creed is back and this time , she finds herself into the heart of trouble with not just one dead body but multiple and she's the number one suspect and add to her list of evergrowing charges - a fugitive due to a private plane ride by her "grandfather" Roux. It all started when Annja was asked by Huangfu Cao to help him find the bones of his ancestor Ban Xeu. It seems though that Annja has walked herself into a trap as what he really wants is a belt plaque that was buried with Ban Xeu. The Belt Plaque is said to have been cursed with a Fox Curse back in Loulan City- China  , 184 AD  and is worth lots and lots of money, enough for people to die over. As Annja goes on the run , not only to protect herself but also to prove her innocence - she decides to acquire the help of her trusty companion Roux - over 500 yrs old he has seen almost everything and is particulary interested in the photos that Annja has of the belt plaque. It seems though that Huangfu was not the only one looking for it - Roux's arch-enemy and ex-friend Garin Braeden is also searching for it and as we know from previous books , he won't stop till he gets it - even if it means hiring countless assassins to go up against Annja and her Joan of Arc Sword.
Can Annja once again solve today's crime of the missing Belt Plaque and restore it to it's rightful place or will Garin catch up and it be time to say Sayonara to the Belt Plaque?
Find out in The Forbidden City by Alex Archer and get ready for another Chasing History Monster's Lesson with Annja Creed.

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...
