Secrets In Our Scars


Review: Secrets in Our Scars - Rebecca Trogner - February 2018

Daisy has led a pretty sheltered life; she never knew her birth parents as she was left on the doorstep of local business and was raised by two black sisters. They looked like an interesting family since Daisy was as white could be. Secrets in Our Scars runs through a few different storylines and in places it did feel a bit too much going on, but you did get the gist of the stories. We have Daisy and Roy's romance storyline after she met him on a movie set and he saved her from being raped. We have Daisy's search for her biological parents and the receiving of the gifts every year. Daisy also has a cutting problem, and that is where the title came from the "Secrets in our scars." We also learn a tragedy happened a few years back and a boy named Charlie died, Daisy hears Charlie's voice in her heads, and it's not a very nice voice as well. In a way, I found some of this story especially the mystery surrounding Daisy's birth and her parents very much similar to a plot from Virginia Andrews with her Flowers in the Attic Series.  I have to admit at first I had a thought her biological father might have been someone else but still in the same family , but I didn't see the major weird twist coming when Daisy's family history is revealed.  Secrets in Our Scars is a slow paced book to read and in places you may get confused by the various plot lines and tangents but other than that is a good psychological New Adult read and I do love the cover of this book.

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

  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...
