Review: Without Merit - Colleen Hoover - October 2017

As a fan of Colleen Hoover's books, I had been looking forward to reading this book especially when the cover was released, and I instantly fell head over heels for the cover. I have to say this book was different to anything I have read but I loved it as it showed readers what true dysfunctional families are like and that no matter what family you belong to, all families have quirks and secrets. Within With Merit, we have the Voss family who out of spite brought an old church and made it their home. In the Voss family, we have the OG wife Victoria, her twin daughters Merit and Honor and their older brother Utah. Then we also have her Dad and his new wife also known as Victoria, their son Moss and later Victoria's brother Luck.  Also added to the crazy mix is a dog named Wolfgang and Sagan. The book starts with Merit kissing Sagan who later turns out to be attached to her twin sister Honor. Then one thing leads to another, and we are thrust upon a cray-cray household filled with dark secrets, estranged family members, quirks. This goes on for most of the book until Merit can't swallow her tongue anymore and explodes releasing all of the secrets that the family have been hiding and then does something stupid. Will her act of stupidity and wanting to die to bring her family together or will it push them further apart? What would the Voss family be like Without Merit? Find out in Colleen Hoover's latest release which also just won Goodreads Choice Winner for 2017.

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...
