Game of Shadows (Game of Shadows #1)

Review: Game of Shadows - Book #1 Game of Shadows Series - Amanda K. Byrne - July 2016

Cass Turner was brought up as an assassin as it is her family's business. Her grandfather was one, her father was one and being the only child - it was her duty to join the family business. The thing though is that Cass couldn't separate her emotions from the job, no matter how much she tried. Her last job eleven months ago hit her hard. Cass decided to try her hand away from the business and find her place in the world. Until recently when she accepted a job to kill Nick Kostova. Things though didn't go to plan, and it was an ambush. Now Nick has tracked Cass down, and they both seem to have become the hunted. Can Cass and Nick survive to discover who wants them dead and why? Is it someone from Nick's family and is the beef against Nick or was it revenge for someone Cass killed in the past? To survive Nick and Cass must now join forces which would be great if they could both keep their emotions at the door but now that they have feelings for one another starting to develop, things are headed towards the messy side of life. If you love Assassin novels,  New Adult Spies, and adventure, then check out Game of Shadows by Amanda K. Byrne. This is The Godfather - Next Generation style as it's move over parents as the young ones are leading the show. Game of Shadows ended on a small cliffhanger and is part of a trilogy that I am looking forward to continuing.

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
