Two Like Me and You

Review: Two Like Me and You - Chad Alan Gibbs - May 2019

They say they don't judge a book by its cover, but I have to admit that when it comes to unknown authors that is precisely what I do and this cover reminded me of the Daisy Prescott books. Once I opened the book though, it took me a little while to get into as I was like urgh a coming of age story and from a male POV nonetheless, but the thing is the book surprised me with the characters escaping to Paris, France to find an old lover of Garland Lennox. He is an older man with early dementia and has always dreamed of finding his long-lost love before he passes away. Enter Parker Haddaway who has lived an exciting life and ever since her parents died has been moved from one relative to the next - she takes a liking to Garland and with nothing to lose wants to help him but needs one more person to make this happen her classmate Edwin Green. He is the type that is generally in the background but dreams of his fifteen minutes of fame. The second half of the book will have the threesome running around Paris trying to track down Madeline - Garland's lover as well as trying to stay one step ahead of the authorities that want them to return home to America. Two Like Me and You turned into not only a fun YA novel but also a bit of a suspense and action type story. Two Like Me and You by Chad Alan Gibbs resonated as similar to the accidental type spy novels.

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
