Review: Lovechild - Book #1 Lovechild Series - M.K Ritter - April 2014



I was in the mood for a high school novel and thought that this one sounded interesting as it also had the main character going into a sort of witness protection programme. Lovechild starts with Blakely Bennett discovering that she is in fact adopted and the child of celebrities Mason and Sophia. This has been a shock to Blakely as she never thought she would be adopted. To make matters worst though, Blakely is now the target of a stalker who wants Mason and will kill everyone who stands in their way which now includes Mason's newfound daughter. Blakely is put into a whirlwind and sent to Eastbrooke Academy where she is given a new surname and sent to a private school that is hidden away. Once Blakely arrives, she meets Slade who happens to be a hottie. However, Blakely is about to be at the end of the Ice Queen's wrath as Slade is her ex-boyfriend.  I have to admit, I hated this part of the book, and I had been hoping to enjoy it, but it was like as soon as she arrived - she went immediately into this crazed love teen, and all the boys wanted her. I also hated the character of Rhys as the way he pursued Blakely and acted around her was total overkill and I found all the kids at this school to be too dramatic, and all they were interested in was hooking up with one another and partying and playing with each other's feelings. Then near the end, Blakely receives a note about the stalker and how he's harmed her Dad. This was a big moment, and I was like OMG, but it felt so minimal and played down in the book. It was almost like my high school life is more important than finding out my Dad has been killed by a stalker.  I am now in two minds about reading Book #2 as I want to see how it finishes but also not sure if I can handle more of the petty drama and angst of the teens.

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...
