Review: Being Martha - Book #3 Circus Freaks Series - Erin Lee - July 2018

If you love circuses and freakshows as well as the town Escape, Colorado, then you will enjoy Being Martha - Book #3 in the Circus Freak series. Out of the three, I have read, I have to admit that I fell in love with this book and I loved the twists and turned that Martha took especially when it came to her scientist friend. It brought a tear to my eyes as I imagined the life that they had and how she was separated from those she loved and had to live out her life in the Circus as a bearded woman when really out of all the circus freaks, she was one with the darkest secrets. Reading this book was also fun as it reunited me with some of the characters from previous tales like Cat with Moe's skull and reading the part between Martha and Cat's cat - I was like yay as I hated that character too and was like good riddance :P.  Unlike the previous books in the Circus Freaks series, the second half of Being Martha will pull at your heartstrings and through the pages will shine the Erin Lee style writing that we are used to in her books Goodbye Unicorns and Wave to Me Papa. Being Martha also brings a strong connection to the Escape to Reality series, so if you have read those, you will be met with familiar faces. I am now looking forward to reading Neptune's story in Star and discovering her background.

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
