Review: Rise - Book #3 Eve Series - Anna Carey - April 2013
 
Have you ever read a series and then been so excited to read the last one , hoping all your questions and answers would be solved ? However, instead you are left with one of the biggest cliffhangers of all time and you just hope that the author will have a change of heart and write one more book ? That's what happened to me as I read Rise by Anna Carey. First things, a positive was the fact that I have enjoyed this series and it would have to be one of the better teen dystopians I have read and if you love books like The Handmaids Tale by Margaret Atwood, then you will really enjoy this series. In Book #1 we met Eve , an orphan or so we thought who had escaped the school and went on the run into the Wilds. In Book #2 Eve and her friends are on the run, when near the end it is discovered that Eve's true identity is Genevieve - the Kings long-lost daughter and heir to the throne and lastly in Book #3 we read as Genevieve is living it up in the castle and is engaged to be married to Charles, but her heart lays with someone else - Caleb Young. However, things are dangerous at the moment as the outsiders are planning an attack on the castle, Can Eve escape and save her friends she made in the schools and out in the wilds ? Or will she fail and have to witness them executed ? Mourning for the lost of Caleb , we discover that Eve is pregnant with his baby - can she prepare herself for a life of solo-parenting and we say goodbye to a few main characters and readers not to give anything away - but prepare yourself for the final chapter and the ending of Rise as you will sit there screaming like I did and going NOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!! I need more, you can't end it like that.
I do hope that Anna Carey will write one more book or at least a novella to finish off the cliffhanger that is the finale of Rise.

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
