Sleeping Beauty: Back to Reality (Modern Fairy Tales #2)

Review: Sleeping Beauty: Back to Reality - Book #2 Modern Fairy Tales - Jenni James - March 2017

One of my favorite tropes is renditions of fairytales, and Jenni James is one of my favorite authors as I first discovered her via her Austen tales. Sleeping Beauty: Back to Reality takes us into the life of Aurora Wellington, who has been in a coma for over a year.  Lying in a hospital bed, she is awoken by a kiss. The thing is though that she has no idea who the kisser is; she doesn't recognize him at all. Does she have a boyfriend? How can this be when she has never been kissed before to her knowledge? We learn that Aurora was in a car crash and has amnesia for a few months leading up to the accident. This means she doesn't remember Philip - the guy who kissed her.  He has been visiting her every day for a year as he feels responsible for her accident.  Sleeping Beauty: Back to Reality is about Aurora's journey back to life and finding herself and eventually ending up with the guy of her dreams.
Sleeping Beauty: Back to Reality was a fun fairytale rendition and perfect for teens aged 13+

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...
