Spell Book & Scandal


Review: Spell Book and Scandal - Jen McConnel - October 2017

I have always loved reading books about witches set in today's world or the world where witches live amongst the normies. Spell Book and Scandal goes into the world of the King family. They are known to be one of the best Witch families around but for Shelby she is the black sheep of the family as her sister Christina is the perfect score Caster and Shelby should be a top scribe, but all her spells keep backfiring and going haywire so much that Christina doesn't even trust her sister to scribe for her. What will happen though when Shelby makes a flier to sell her spells to normies, soon she will discover that her spells are actually working and then one night she is mad at her sister, so she scribes a walk in my shoes spell and says it out loud, and wham bam - the pair have switched places. This is impossible as only a Caster can make the spell. Has Shelby got some hidden talents? I had hoped that we would discover more about Shelby whereas this book was more about the relationship between Christina and Shelby and helping Christina get into a great coven rather than Shelby's skills develop.  I am looking forward to seeing whether the author decides to develop the story of Shelby King as would be interesting to see where she ends up. Spell Book and Scandal would be a perfect read if you loved Jennifer Estep's Mythos Academy and Rachel Hawkins's Hex Hall series.

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

  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...
