Vengeance High: A High School Bully Romance (How the Mighty Have Fallen)

Review: Vengeance High - Book #1 How the Mighty Have Fallen Series - Ellie Parker - June 2019
As readers will know I have been going through lately a Bullymance and RH buzz as that is in the past few months seemed to be the popular trend and I do enjoy these Upper YA/NA books as they have enough suspense and angst as well as realism to the stories. This particular one, I had, had on my kindle for a few months and flicking through was like might as well read it now. I started it and was a bit confused as the book started with our main character Jenna being taken under the wings of the Stark brothers who rule the school with their money and popularity. They buy Jenna gifts and treat her like their princess as it seems one day they just joined forces. As I was reading this book, I was still confused as I was like isn't this supposed to be a bully romance and there is no bullying going on? I got to 42% and still nothing but then at about 55% it moved to the start of the bullying. During the 42-55% marks, the boys have a party and during that party one of them sleeps with Jenna while the others are mulling around the house. During this time the others find their Dad's dirty secret and a video with Jenna's name on it. The boys shuffle her out of their house immediately after they took her V-card. She wakes up the next morning hungover and confused, she texts the boys and no answer. Then when she arrives at school they ghost her and treat her like crap, she doesn't know why and is so confused. What has she done that has made the boys want to punish her so badly? Fast-forward and woe and behold, the boys realize she is innocent and they befriend her again and she runs into their arms. I hated this last part as it's like seriously WTF they treated you horribly, make them fricking beg as they even got you thrown in jail. Don't be like a dog and just roll over when they call you. The ending of this book really frustrated me as I hate weak female characters and that is what Jenna was. Also the book could have gone deeper into the Starks's Father's story and the missing girl Lucy but it just kind of glossed over it.

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...
