Review: The Collection - Book #2 The Registry - Shannon Stoker - February 2014

One of the things that I love to read about is futuristic societies ruled by a particular set of boundaries. Controlled Dystopian societies like the movie "Equilibrium" with Christian Bale. In The Registry, it is similar to both the Chemical Garden series by Lauren DeStefano and the Elite Series by Kiera Cass. In this society, the females are registered on the Registry and sold to the highest bidder as wives. In the first book, we read as Mia is sold off to Grant but before she can be with him, she decides knowing the truth to run away. In Book #2 The Collection , she is now on the run with Andrew and Carter until their helicopter crashes and Andrew and Carter are taken by the Mexican Militia and Mia is found by Riley - an Irish Operative. During Mia's time with Riley she discovers a whole new world outside of what she has been taught - a world where Women are not defined or objects for their husbands. Meanwhile , Grant - Mia's husband is furious and wants Mia found and killed as no-one beats him. Especially , if Grant is to be the next Chancellor as he is being groomed for success. Can Grant get all his eggs in one basket or will he find that he can only have one or the other ? Will Mia survive Book #2 and with her newfound skills be ready to put them to use alongside the rebellion towards The Registry?
Find out in Book #2 The Collection and I now cannot wait to read the conclusion of the series and I hope that in Book #3 Mia knocks Grant off his high-horse and she ends up being the one on top and not him.

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...
