Losing Grip


Review: Losing Grip - Book #1 New Haven Academy Series - Mercy Amare - December 2014

I was in the mood today for a boarding school read, and this book reminded me of Scarlett Haven's which I had read most of her books. New Haven Academy is the boarding school that Jinger Rivera has been sent to save herself and be straightened out. When Jinger and her brother Caleb were younger,  their sister died, and this caused them to experience pain and nightmares. Each turned to a different way of coping - Jinger cut herself, and her brother turned to drugs. Their father is the third richest man in the world which doesn't help either as they never had a real family. Jinger has now been sent off to New Haven Academy and Caleb to rehab. Jinger has always found it hard to make friends as they only want to use her for her dad's money, that is until now - she now has Sebastian, Drew, and Hope. Can Jinger start to have a normal life? Was Jinger losing grip on life the best thing that happened to her? Find out in Book #1 New Haven Academy Series - Losing Grip. An edgy YA read with romantic suspense, dysfunctional families and boarding school antics. Losing Grip did end on a cliffhanger as one of Jinger's new almost-friends Brody has vanished.

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...
