Ugly Young Thing (Stranger Series #2)

Review: Ugly Young Thing - Book #2 Strangers Series - Jennifer Jaynes - March 2015
When Allie was growing up, her mother was crazy and murdered those who she wanted to or who the voices told her too. Later Allie's brother when she was sixteen, decided to kill and then he eventually committed suicide. Allie left home and wandered the streets and became a prostitute to survive, sleeping around with truck drivers. One day, she has enough and wanders back to her real home. One thing leads to another, and she is placed in foster care with Miss Bitty. During this time, Miss Bitty will help to show Allie that she is worth something and is stunning and not the Ugly Young Thing she has been brought up to believe she is. Running parallel to this story, another Serial Killer is on the loose killing women . I have to admit, in one way I thought that this killer might be connected to Allie but when the Killer was revealed that shocked me as I didn't view him as a killer.  Ugly Young Thing was a fast-paced book and features murder, mystery, mayhem and mental health. Though this is part of the Strangers series, it could be read as a stand-alone.

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
