The Cursed Series, Parts 1 & 2 (If I'd Known/Knowing You)

Review: The Cursed Series - Part 1 and 2 - Rebecca Donovan - March 2019

An author that I have always found myself enjoying and her books have always been able to touch an inner part of myself are Rebecca Donovan. I hadn't read a book of her's for a while and so when I saw The Cursed Series, I decided to read it and WOWZA- this was amazing and intense and angsty at the same time. Parts 1 and 2 of The Cursed series packs a punch for the reader, so much that I had to sleep on this book as I couldn't read anything straight after as I had to digest what I had just read. This was one of those books and of course, I immediately told all my friends to read it as it was just WOW. The series starts with our main character Lana having a night out with her friends, which ends in tragedy. Of course, Lana is cursed with honesty and cannot lie and will do anything to protect those she loves. Lana instead of being sent to juvie is sent to a boarding school. Here she meets a few of the other students and learns their curses - the good and the bad. We also find out that they are all connected via a photograph which shows their mothers pregnant and DNA tests. Of course, not all of them know who their father is - including Lana. Was their a pregnancy pact made when their parents were 18 years old? What is happening to them all now and why and how are they connected? The book ended on a major cliffhanger which I can't wait now for April to hurry up so I can read Parts #3 and 4.  The Cursed Series was an excellent YA Thriller that at every corner makes you question who can you trust and what is truth and what is a lie? If you can only read one series this year for 2020, then make The Cursed Series by Rebecca Donovan those books.

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...

It's time for serial killer time to strike again with Sean Slater's new Detective Jacob Striker novel out titled with the same name as a popular children's game "Snakes and Ladders". Review: Snakes and Ladders - Detective Jacob Striker Book #2 - Sean Slater - March 2012 It's amazing how much a cover can get you to read a book and then you discover, well I actually like this author as I picked up Sean Slater's first book "The Survivor" due to the fact that the cover had a hockey mask and reminded me of Friday the 13th and I really enjoyed the novel as well as the fact it was a school shooting which for some reason I enjoy reading about as it fascinates me ( just to add - I'm not pyschotic LOL) . When I discovered Sean Slater had a new one coming out, I picked it up and was again fascinated and drawn in as he had chosen another angle and field that I am interested in probably due to the fact that my dad works in that industry of mental health...
