Not Cinderella's Type (Modern Fairy Tales #1)

Review: Not Cinderella's Type - Book #1 Modern Fairytales - Jenni James - March 2017

One of my favorite tropes is renditions of classic stories and fairytales especially Cinderella. I have also been a fan of Jenni James other stories, so when I saw this one I knew I had to read it. Our Cinderella in Not Cinderella's Type by Jenni James is Indy Zimmerman who lives with her Aunt and Uncle and their two daughters. Indy lives in the attic and has the bare minimum and is expected to earn her keep by working around the house. Indy's mother died in a car accident and she never knew her father. All that Indy had left of her connection with her mother was her cat and even now that has gone thanks to a fellow classmate and jock Bryant. Bryant is the guy that is every girl's dream except Indy's as hello - he just killed her cat and the last piece she had connected to her mother. As the book goes along, we read as Bryant tries to befriend Indy and get in her good books. Indy tries to rebuff his friendship at every turn as to why would she want to be friends with a cat killer? During the book though we learn a bit more about Bryant and that he knows more than he is letting on about her mother's accident. Also is Bryant and his Dad, the ones that will save Indy from her living arrangements? Bryant may not be Cinderella's type but maybe he will be Indy's type after all. Find out in this sweet YA romance "Not Cinderella's Type" by Jenni James which also if you are a movie fan - this has been made into a film.

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...
