Rumor's Out!

Review: Rumor's Out - DeAnna Kinney - August 2019

If you are looking for a bully story but one without the darkness that is in most of the bullymances, then Rumor's Out by DeAnna Kinney is the read for you as this is a YA focused bully read. It starts with our main character Rumor named after Bruce Willis's daughter as her mum is a fan of Bruce Willis. Rumor is dating the QB and the popular Queen Bee of the school, she has a good set of friends and life is looking up for her. What I loved about Rumor is she was one who was thrust into the Queen Bee role, she wasn't bitchy or a mean girl. All is going well until a new girl starts the school Jessica and she wants Rumor's Queen Bee status and will do everything in her power to alienate and ruin Rumor. As we read the book, it's like Jessica wants Rumour's life in all aspects of boyfriends and friends. As Jessica starts to take Rumor's friends and life, we read as Rumour finds new friendships with Sam and Faith- the nerds and in doing so she will learn what it is like to have "real friends" and people who care for her. I have to admit I did want more of the reasoning behind why Jessica was the way she was and wanted Rumor out but we didn't see it in this book. Overall, though if you are wanting a Mean Girl Bully YA read, then check out DeAnna Kinney's Rumor's Out - which by all means was very tame compared to the majority of bully stories I have read and reviewed.

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...
