Review: Bonfire - Krysten Ritter - November 2017
I have been wanting to read this book ever since I saw that it was being released as I enjoyed Krysten Ritter as an actress with her first starring as Gia in Veronica Mars and then later as Jessica Jones.  Bonfire is a New Adult/ Adult crossover mystery with an environmental law feeling to it. When Abby Williams was in high school, the popular girls fell ill, and some said it was a hoax but Abby thought otherwise. Then after graduation, Kaycee - one of the girls, the Queen Bee disappeared, and no-one heard from her ever again. Abby also left town and vowed never to come back. Except here she is ten years later and making her way back to Barren as she is now an Environmental Lawyer and a complaint has been put in about Optimal and how they are poisoning the town's water and making people sick. It is Abby's job to prove that it is making people sick but of course with small towns comes secrets and scandals . Abby will soon discover that things have not changed but gotten worst especially when it comes to the deadly game aka The Games played in High School with Blackmail . During her time here , she will also discover the truth about what happened to Kaycee and uncover a conspiracy that the folks of Barren have been hiding and playing for the last ten years.  Some parts of this book were slow and others captured your attention. Overall though it definitely felt an almost sick novel as I couldn't believe how many people were involved and trying to cover up corruption . You couldn't know who to trust in Bonfire as everyone seemed out to get everyone. Truly felt like a psychotic community, I'm so glad Abby managed to escape as who knows where she might have ended up.

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...
