Review: The school for Dangerous Girls - Eliot Schrefer - January 2009
Are you a fan of boarding school novels ? How about reform schools , can you stomach their teachings and ways of punishment ? If so , then this is the book for you. I loved it too bits as I have always been a fan of these type of novels. The School for Dangerous Girls is known as Hidden Oaks - it is a reform school for girls who have been considered a danger to society. In this novel we meet the main character Angela, who has been sent to Hidden Oaks as her parents believe that she may have killed her grandfather and they don't know what else to do with her. For the first month, the girls are put in a mansion where they must all attend classes etc and then one by one they are weeded out - to either the purple thread or the gold thread. The gold thread is the one where you want to be, these are the girls who Hidden Oaks believe can be broken and shaped into fine girls very easily whereas the purple thread are the no-hopers , whilst the gold live in luxury we discover that life for the purple thread is horrible and almost barbaric. When Angela discovers this , with the help of a few girls in the gold thread and Harrison- Mr Derrian's son , Angela will try to save the purple thread girls and get them to safety. Can Angela save those she cares about and when tragedy strikes close to her at the Hidden Oaks - is this the last straw for Angela ?
A fast paced novel that keeps you entertained and thrilled as we discover the truth behind Hidden Oaks.

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
