Fallen Crest High (Fallen Crest High, #1)

Review: Fallen Crest High - Book #1 Fallen Crest Series - Tijan - October 2012

You know how friends often recommend you books to read, and you end up adding the whole series to your devices and then it takes you forever to get around and actually read it, for me Fallen Crest is one of those series as I have read a few of Tijan's later books but for some reason I have been on the fence, too scared to enter the Fallen Crest world. I had a little idea what this series was about, but not enough to know exactly what I was in for. In this series, we meet public school girl Sam whose life is about to be like the car on this front cover and blow up around her. She is about to learn her boyfriend has been cheating on her with her so-called friend and her other friend knew about it this whole time to her parents getting a divorce and she is moving with her mum to her new stepdad to be a house. This has Sam going from the world of trailers and scrapping by to living it up in a Mansion. The other thing Sam wasn't quite ready for is that she now has two stepbrothers Logan and Mason Kade. The Kade brothers are a legend as all the guys either hate them or want to be them and the girls want to be with them. Sam, on the other hand, loves her privacy and wants her life to go back to normal. I have to admit I hated Sam's newfound friend Becky and wanted to strangle her or at least get her to shut up; she was such an attention seeker. I also loved the whole parenting scenes, and it was like a game of who knows who and two degrees of separation. I have to admit I also loved the way that the Kade brothers stepped up and supported Sam in their way too.  If you want a series filled with Angst and at points, some of the characters will enrage you, then Fallen Crest High is the series for you. Also, you will have a better reading experience, if you know someone who has already read it so that you can text or message them at argh moments throughout the book as I did to my friend. I am now looking forward to continuing the Fallen Crest journey and reading the rest of the series.

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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
