Gargoyle Huntress (Harlow's Demons #1)

Review: Gargoyle Huntress - Book #1 Harlow's Demons - Jen Pretty - April 2019
This particular book attracted me via the cover as I can often be a sucker for a good book cover. I also was intrigued by the gargoyles storyline as I haven't read any books that feature gargoyles as most paranormal/supernatural books focus on the main creatures like Vampires and Zombies. What I loved about this book was that within each gargoyle is a little cheeky half-demon that reminded me in my mind of naughty little gremlin/Ewok characters running around. Harlow is a gargoyle huntress after she decided one night in a fit of rage to kick a gargoyle off the top of a building. Now her life is split between working at the pizza store and hunting down naughty little demons. Harlow has been taught the skills by Linc who is a sculptor. The book focuses on when Harlow meets Julian who has told her that Gargoyles are going missing and disappearing. The other hunters aren't available to help Julian and now Harlow must take up the challenge. Julian discovers that he is a Half-Demon and Harlow is about to be opened to the world of demons. Along the way of the journey, she will also learn secrets about gargoyle hunting and herself especially when she learns that she has been possessed by demons not once but twice. I have to admit that I had hoped somewhere in this book we learned more about Harlow's mother, maybe in later books we might. If you are looking for a paranormal/supernatural YA book, then check out Gargoyle Huntress by Jen Pretty.

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
