The Living (The Thorns of Rosewood #3)


Review: The Living - Book #3 The Thorns of Rosewood Series - Cassie James and Christine Kelsey - August 2019
At the end of Book #2, we read as Piper 3.0 was being dragged away from the pool by Jackie and on her way to be reset once again for the third time. The boys and Macie don't want to have to go through everything with Piper that happened the last time she was reset and so Brennan hacks into Stanley Hyde's computer and finds that he is on their side and has uploaded a back-up file so her memories as Piper 3.0 won't be lost. However, Piper is going to work extra hard at keeping her lives and stories straight as she knows the consequences of what Jackie will do if she is not exactly a new Piper. Welcome to Piper 4.0 but with 3.0 memories. In Book #3 we also get to see a new side of Roman - Piper's dad as he has been more background characters in the previous two books but he steps up a lot in Book #3 which I liked. We also get to meet Tyler's family and Jude's and watch their reactions to Piper 4.0. Will they accept her just as the boys and Macie have or will they treat her like the plague and she goes back to feeling the way she did in Book # 1? We also see Piper and Jude meeting with a lawyer to have a look at her contract and see if she can finally be free in a sense with no more resets? This was a nice read but I did find that Piper 4.0 played too many mind games with the boys and was too indecisive for me and acted like a spoilt A.I Brat.  The book does end on a potential cliffhanger sentence which makes me wish we did get an epilogue of what happened after that final sentence as the book was left open-ended. Overall The Thorns of Rosewood series was a fun read and I loved the different take it took on the Bully Romance and RH trope by introducing an Artificial Intelligence as the main female character.

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
