Review: Antisocial - Jillian Blake - May 2017


In a world where we all put everything up on social media, store every photo/text in our phones and on the cloud. It is easy to get hacked and nothing is secret, no matter how secure we think it is. That's what Alexandria Prep is about to discover as someone has managed to spy on everyone who downloaded the Alexandria Prep app. With access to everyone's private information and secrets, no student is safe as each day students with dark secrets will be revealed from steroid use to abortions to cheating scandals and hook-ups with teachers. Who is responsible for the hack? The hack will be pinned on Anna's friend Haven who has the skill and knowledge but can she get her old friends on board - the ones she abandoned to help prove that Haven is innocent? All doing this while she is afraid her messages will come out as the past year, she bagged her friends pretty badly to her now ex-boyfriend Parker. Antisocial was a fascinating and unputdownable read that shedding light on what can happen to friendships and to lives when “private” data becomes public. I thought it was quite relevant especially as I am currently watching 13 Reasons Why Season #2 which also has secrets being exposed in a high school situation. If you are on the lookout for an amazing YA mystery read that will definitely open your eyes to the world of social media, then check out Antisocial by Jillian Blake as you will not be disappointed with this read.

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...
