VBT# Reckless - Danielle Weiler

Review: Reckless - Danielle Weiler - August 2013

Have you ever struggled through a book and then find that it does pick up eventually , but it takes a bit more effort to get stuck into it ? This is what happened with Danielle's book "Reckless" as I started it and after the second page , it wasn't really me and I normally would have put it down and stopped reading it. However knowing it was a VBT# I thought Ok, I'll persevere with this one and in one way I am glad I did as after the first couple of chapters the book's pace does pick up. It made me think that maybe after the second chapter, the author found her mojo and started writing a great book. Reckless tells the story of Milly , whose twin brother has passed away - not coping with the death of her twin she has resorted to playing up and being well..... "Reckless". Her parents are at the end of their tethers with her so they send her to her Aunt's in a small country wop-wop place hoping that a change of scenery and people will straighten her out and change her ways. Give her hope and life to move on with her brother's death. As usual, with the New Adult books there is a guy and in Reckless the guy's name is Jerome , which has now given me a different image as I always assumed that Jerome tended to be a black character's name.  Like another trend with New Adult books, both characters are damaged - but can they help each other find their way back into reality and onto the straight and narrow paths ? 
Find out in Reckless by Danielle Weiler - good if you are wanting a New Adult Fix.

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

  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...
