Review: Towering - Alex Flinn

Do you love renditions of fairy-tales ?
Have you read Alex Flinn's previous books of Beastly , Cloaked and Bewitched ?
I have yet to read Bewitched but was a huge fan of Beastly and enjoyed Cloaked.
Thanks to Eidelweiss ARCs , I was lucky enough to get to read Alex Flinn's upcoming release "Towering".
 
Review: Towering - Book #3 Kendra Chronicles - Alex Flinn - May 2013
As readers of The Phantom Paragrapher will know , I am a huge fan of rendition novels and one of my favourites would have to be Beastly by Alex Flinn. So when I learnt that she had a new one coming out called Towering , I knew I just had to read it . For those who have never read an Alex Flinn before - you will notice that they are called the Kendra Chronicles but in this particular novel the name Kendra does not arise. In Book #1 Beastly, Kendra was a witch who in order to teach the main character a lesson turned him into a Beast and only a Beauty called turn him if she fell in love with the "real him".  In Towering , we enter the rendition of the fairy-tale Rapunzel but in this case the girl in the Tower is called Rachel and her prince - a newcomer Wyatt who is staying with an old family friend. When Wyatt discovers Rachel locked in a tower and then learns that if others were to know of her existence , they will kill her - he must do everything in his power to save her from being destroyed. Also the story has an underlining mystery as every couple of years including Wyatt's mum's best friend Danielle -- teenage girls have been going missing . Will the knowledge of Rachel lead him to solve the crimes and the missing people of the town ?
Towering is a fun story , that you won't want to put down and all fans of the fairytale world will love it :)

    Yet another one I am *dying* to read. Hopefully by May, I'll be through the review copies I am due to read and can again enjoy another of Alex Flinn's fun fairy-tales.

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 - Penny Reid

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
