Not If I Save You First


Review: Not If I Save You First - Ally Carter - March 2018

If there is something that Ally Carter is good at, it is writing strong teen female characters, and most of her stories have a political thread to them as well. In Not If I Save You First we move to an attack on the White House where Maddie's dad is the head of security and her best friend Logan, his father is the President of the US. When they were about 12-13, there was an incident with the Russians at the White House which led to Maddie's dad saving Logan's mother but also landed Maddie and her Dad in exile - they have moved to the middle of nowhere aka Alaska. For the first year, Maddie writes letters to Logan but when she doesn't get a reply - she stops, and her heart is betrayed, and she learns to hate Logan. Meanwhile, Logan has grown up being a troublemaker and slipping his guards. Logan's parents decide to send him to Alaska to stay with Maddie aka Mad Dog. He is looking forward to seeing his old friend again,  Maddie, on the other hand, is dreading it. When the pair meets face to face, you can tell there is some tension between the pair, and eventually, the book moves on, and Logan ends up being kidnapped, and Maddie, of course, throws herself in the mix to save Logan and herself from Danger.  Can the pair survive not only the abduction but also the Alaskan Winter? 
Find out in this YA novel "Not If I Save You First" by Ally Carter.

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...

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...
