Review: Out of Character - Molly Zenk - August 2015

Do you love reading books about Reality TV shows and what goes on behind the scenes ? Out of Character by Molly Zenk, starts with what is a tragic moment between twins Patrick and Harmony Jones as the pair talk about life after high school with his music and her acting and Patrick tells her to audition for the 1700's life show - then tragedy strikes. The novel then flash forwards two years and introduces us to an array of actors and actresses - all whom will be starring in this upcoming season of 1700s life. We have Katie - a commercial queen who wants to get into TV roles and something more substantial than the odd comercial and will do anything for the spotlight even if it means going undercover as Malcolm Banks's spy on 1700's life and stirring the drama for ratings , David - he is from England and is the face of Purity Perfume, he is hoping that being on 1700's life will help him find his way back to God and as a way to show his Christianity to the world , Elliot - has been playing the dark and intense characters in movies and now thanks to an ex-girlfriend fame seeker - he is having to listen as she describes him a stalker in real life. All he wants is peace and quiet from her ,the world and of course his Mother who is also his Manager and believes the 1700's life is the perfect getaway as he is closed off to the world , Harmony - on a whim, she sent in a video as she believes starring on the show is her way to remember Patrick but also help her move on with her life - imagine her surprise when she is given the lead role on the show. Out of Character gives readers a glimpse not only into the lives of the stars and what they wish to achieve but also the insight to what happens behind the cameras in a reality Tv show.  Readers, the other thing is if you do not cliffhangers - then do not read as Out of Character ended on a major one and at this stage, I do not see on Goodreads when a sequel will be out.

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...
