Dark & Twisted Games (Hearts of Faeylon, #1)

Review: Dark and Twisted Games - Book #1 Heart of Faelylon Series - Heidi Acosta - April 2016

Growing up life for Eden has been difficult as living in a small town, she has been called a freak due to her aunt's condition and the fact her parents are dead and then even her Grandmother has shunned her.  The only person she can really count on and who makes her life bearable for the fact that she hangs around with Eden is Liv who is the complete opposite of her - Miss Popular, Cheerleader and Beautiful. Compared to Liv, Eden is your plain jane type of girl. That is until she catches the interest of not only one guy but two - the two new Foster kids Cardelian and Jaxon. Cardelian is Mr. Popular and Jaxon is the Social Outcast but it seems that Cardelian is making an effort to get to know Eden and he is the one all the girls are crushing after but it's Jaxon whom Eden wants to know and he is the one warning her to stay away but she can't. As the book goes on we learn more about Eden's Aunt Essie's past and her condition and what could have caused it to being opened to a dangerous new world and fingers crossed that Eden doesn't suffer the same fate as her Aunt or worse as it seems she has landed right in the middle of a Dark and Twisted Game and the only choices are to survive or be killed and Survival is the harder option of course. Can Eden survive the ordeal and come out unscathed or will she suffer the same fate as her Aunt or those before her who have unwillingly landed the role as a pawn in the game of "life and death".Dark and Twisted Games was a fast-paced read , but the only thing that I had hoped for besides the whole Cardelian, Jaxon and Eden storyline was the possible Buck and Eden storyline as he taunted her and then near the end he was sort of nice and I was hoping that maybe we could discover the true reason why he taunts Eden so much .
 If you love Teen Supernatural stories with a Suspense Element with a touch of edginess then check out Heidi Acosta's new release of Dark and Twisted Games.

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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
