The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss

Review: The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss - Max Wirestone - October 2015

I am a fan of what I like to call geek chic lit , I am a geek girl myself and love everything from Superheroes to Books and I collect Pop Funkos. So when I saw this book advertised, I knew I had to read it- there was no doubt about it and I loved it. The Unfortunate Decisions of Dahlia Moss made me laugh out loud in parts , made me want a friend like Dahlia's crazy roommate and their antics made me LOL.  The book reminded me as well as Dahlia's character of Izzy Spellman from Lisa Lutz's mystery series "The Spellman Files". The only downside with this book was that it was a bit slow written and there were moments I wanted to stop reading , but then I perservered as I knew I would enjoy the storyline. Dahlia Moss has been hired by a guy called Jonah Long to retrieve an item that was stolen from him on his RPG Zoth - this made me laugh as it reminded me of the episode where Sheldon called the Police on The Big Bang Theory when his items were stolen. During the course of the investigation, Jonah turns up actually dead and killed by a replica of the item Dahlia is searching for . Are the two cases connected , can Dahlia find out who stole the item and evidently also the identity of the killer before the police can ?  This book is the perfect read for those Fangirls of the Geek Gaming World and also those who have ever dreamed about becoming the next Veronica Mars , Charley Davidson and Stephanie Plum.

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...
