The Slope Rules

Review: The Slope Rules - Melanie Hooyenga - February 2017

Following in her mother's footsteps, Cally has become quite the skier, and after her mother had died, she became more focused on being just like her mother as she saw it as her mother's memory living through her. During a vacation in Colorado, Cally meets a snowboarder named Blake and sparks fly. For Cally, this is a first as normally the guys back home don't pay her special attention as she is viewed as one of them. Cally has a whirlwind Summer romance with Blake and when it's time to go home, the pair exchange numbers and promise to keep in touch. One thing leads to another and Cally is heartbroken as Blake broke his promise and then to top it off Cally receives the news that they are moving to Colorado. Once Cally arrives, though, she swears she sees Blake, but why is he avoiding her? Soon Cally is befriended by the popular clique called the Snow Bunnies and is welcomed into their group - the thing is though if she wants to be one of them, she can't talk to Blake. Cally, not one to bow down starts a war with Britt and a series of Mean Girls events follow. Will Cally crumble under pressure and become a Snow Bunny or will she start a new revolution? The Slope Rules by Melanie Hooyenga was one of those sweet YA High School romances with the drama of the different cliques - the popular vs the underdogs. The Slope Rules is the perfect read for those aged 14-18 years.

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...
