The Initiation (Beverly Hills Prep Academy #1)

Review: The Initiation - Book #1 Beverley Hills Prep Academy - Melissa Adams - June 2019
Reading through the various bullymances, you can come across ones that are amazing and others that are a bit of hit and miss. For me, The Initiation was a freebie on Amazon and I had been looking forward to reading it but it wasn't a series I will be continuing as I found a few too many inconsistencies for myself. The book starts with our main character Ayla and her brother Ben moving to Beverley Hills as Ben created an app and sold it for millions and now the family has money. Their mother is also a local cop. Ayla arrives at BHPA and is the instant attraction as she is beautiful, feisty and smart. She is also quite naive as she finds her heart being pulled into multiple relationships and doing things she has never done before. This also puts her in the crosshairs of Michelle who is the school's current Queen B. The three boys are known as the A-Team as their names are all Alex want to be with her, so they create a bet to see who can win her heart and the winner gets to be with her while the others step aside. What started as a game though will become something more as they all realize that what they feel for Ayla is true and threatens their long-standing friendship. Meanwhile, EM aka Alex is trying to get a spot on the A-team and has been doing the dirty work for Michelle. The other storyline that runs through the book is Ayla's brother Ben getting involved in the drug scene, which was the storyline I found unbelievable as their mother was a cop and should have noticed the signs especially since she is also supposed to be homeschooling him.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
