Review: Requiem + Alex's Short Story - Book #3 and 3.5- Delirium Series - March 2013
This is a hard review to write as I have been dying to read the third book in the Delirium series and have had it for a couple of months and you know how life just chucks obstacles in your way and you find yourself a bit waylaid and then when you finally get around to it , you are like omg , feverishly reading it as you just have to know what happens and then you get to end and you are like ... speechless and you don't know what to say but all you can do is scream. That's what I felt with the book Requiem, just so you know I loved the first two books and rated them both 5 stars and OMG the cliffhanger that book #2 left us with - with Alex's return AARGH. I found personally that Requiem for myself fell short of my expectations as the whole Alex, Lena and Julian love triangle fell flat as come on - I have waited and built up over a year for the first chapter as here I am with this view of OMG Alex's back and then it was like oh, ok. I did love how they brought Hana into the book and how she got to view the both sides of the cure - the cured and those they nickname the Invalids and definitely loved the reunion of Lena and her mother Annabel aka Bee. 
The other awesome thing with Requiem was the added bonus of a short story from Alex , talking about his love for Lena and the first time he met her and fell in love with her as remember Alex meet Lena when she arrived at the Lab.
I am curious though, that the way Lauren Oliver finished Requiem, it does make you wonder if there is any more books to follow.
I have to warn you guys, do not read this book unless you have read the previous two books :)

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
