Jane of Air (The Tattooed Girl Series Book 1)


Review: Jane of Air - Book #1 The Tattooed Girl - Jessica Penot - October 2018
One of my all-time classic novels happen to be Jane Eyre, and a reading weakness I have is renditions of classics and fairytales. So when I saw this one, Jane of Air loosely based on Jane Eyre, I had to read it straight away. OMG, I loved it so much, we have Jane who is a foster child who gets a job at Thornfield Estate looking after Edward's grandmother Adele. We have the main story of Jane and Edward like as in Jane Eyre, but of course, this book has its twists that didn't get answered in the first book but am hoping we do get the answers to our questions. When Jane was found abandoned she had a tattoo on her back, and as she has grown older, the tattoo has taken a life of its own by adding more to the design which I am hoping in Book #2 we learn the meaning behind the tattoo and who Jane's parents were as like in the OG Jane Eyre, Jane had family she never knew she had. The other thing that stumped me was Jane's friend Helen. At the start of the story and even near the end, I thought that Helen was a real person but by the end of the novel - I was questioning myself as things didn't seem to add up from the staff not noticing her and then her disappearing entirely and the fact that Jane had never met Helen's boyfriend or seen her apartment. It made me wonder if Helen was a figment that she had created in order to survive the foster system ? Most girls are all for Elizabeth and Darcy, but I have always been a Jane and Edward fan and love their story which now I am hoping that a Book #2 will be released so that we have some answers to questions that arose and also that we see Jane and Edward finally getting their HEA.

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...
