Impetuous (Victory Lap Book 1)

Review: Impetuous - Book #1 Victory Lap Series - Mercedes Jade - May 2019
Lately, I've been reading a lot of bullymance type stories that feature RH in them. Impetuous by Mercedes Jade is a bit different. This book features Tess Sinclair who has moved back home from her private alternative school to take care of her twin siblings whom she hasn't seen in a few years. As soon as Tess was old enough, she moved to the school and never looked back as her home life wasn't that great with a mother who has mental health issues and a father who was a dirty cop and abusive husband. At the start of the book, Tess receives a phone call saying her mother has been admitted to the psych ward and had a major mental breakdown and Tess is needed to come home and look after her family. She transfers to the school and meets a group of Hot guys, they should be the kings of the school as they are rich, sexy and mysterious but due to their own issues and a pact they made together - the boys have become the outcasts of the school and the ones bullied. All of them want Tess and soon she will become the Queen of the Outcasts table. With her new friends help, Tess will slowly introduce them to her mother but also try and solve the mystery of what made her mother snap and hopefully get her mother home to her siblings where she belongs. Tess has always been fiercely independent, but now she must open herself and let down her walls and let her new friends help in order to save her family and survive the consequences that her father brings to their door? Find out in Impetuous by Mercedes Jade. I have to admit though I enjoyed this book, it was a very slow read for me and I had to push myself to finish it which I am glad as I did as it was an OMG second half of the book as Tess started to unravel her mother's chicken scratch clues. I am now looking forward to reading Book #2 of the Victory Lap series by Mercedes Jade.

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
