Ruthless People (Ruthless People, #1)

Review: Ruthless People - Book #1 Ruthless People Series - J.J McAvoy - July 2014

My friends and those who follow my blog and my reviews will know that I am terrible at reading books in order especially series, it's not like I go out of my way to read them this way it just happens. I am trying to get better, but this series is one of those exceptions as I read Book #2 back in 2015 and Book #3 in 2017. Lately I have been trying to clear my kindle of my old books and came upon this morning Ruthless People and was like I might as well finally read it. Since I knew this series as from reading the latter books, I felt like this was a reunion of sorts as Ruthless People was based on the meeting and arranged marriage of Melody Giovanni and Liam Callahan. This was the start of their partnership which as we know they were both hot-heads and impatient, they definitely clashed. I enjoyed the first part of this book and I liked the interaction between Olivia, Cora and Melody and Ruthless People reminded me how much I hated Olivia's character.  The part I didn't like much in Ruthless People was how long it took Melody to bounce back from the accident as this didn't mesh with her personality and I understood how the author wanted her female side to come through but it didn't sit too well with me as what we knew about Melody she would have gone for revenge immediately not sat their wallowing in bed with her pity party and that ending - that sparked some excitement as it made me remember how much I enjoyed the next two book stories in the series. Now that I have finished Ruthless People, I can move onto the others on my kindle which is Declan + Coraline's story, A Bloody Kingdom and the Children of Vice series.  If you love mobster stories then JJ McAvoy's Ruthless People series is the books for you as reading Ruthless People made me remember how much I loved JJ McAvoy's writings and how she found her way on my auto-read list and also that we haven't had a new book from her in a while.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
