Review: Dare You To- Book #2 Pushing the Limits - Katie McGarry - May 2013

Pushing the Limits brought us the story of the unlikely pairing between Noah and Echo and we were introduced to Noah's friends Isaiah and Beth. In Book #2 we read Beth's story as the readers delves deeper into Beth's life and learns to understand why she is the way she is and what made her change into the person she is today. In Book #2 we start off reading and learning how Beth always has to help her mother as she is incapable and a druggie/drunk and has equally bad taste in guys especially when she seems to attract the dangerous and violent ones. The latest incident lands Beth living with her uncle Scott whom she hasn't seen since she was little. Can Beth start a new life away from her friends including Isaiah and her mother ?  The other main character in Dare You To is Ryan - he is a jock living what seems to be the perfect life outside of the home but behind doors it's another story as his family is falling apart due to having to keep up with appearances as Ryan's father is the Mayor. Out one night with friends , Ryan is dared to ask a chick for her phone number and to go out on a date with him - that girl happens to be Beth.  Fate seems to chuck them together as he begins to be a part of her new life. In Dare You To we see Beth torn between two guys - her best friend Isaiah who feels more for her and Ryan - the guy who she is falling for and vice versa. Can Beth start a new slate with Ryan or will her past always be there hanging in the background ready to ruin whatever comes her way when things start to look positive ? Can one really escape from their past or will it always be looming in the background?
Find out in Book #2 of The Pushing the Limits Series by Katie McGarry.

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...
