Where Birds Fly: The Sculptor (The New York Artists Series...After Dark, #1)

Review: Where Birds Fly : The Sculptor - Book #1 The New York Artists -After Dark - Cathrine Goldstein - October 2020

I had read a few books by this author in the past and enjoyed her writing. So when I saw she had one come up on tour, I knew I had to read it. Also, I was tempted due to the Artists' side as I love books that contain Art, etc. In Where Birds Fly, we first meet our main characters O and Cray at an Art Show that is showing Cray aka Douglas Craven's work.  O is only 12 years old but from that first meeting of Cray, she had a childhood crush on the artist and as she got older - the crush remained and she couldn't wait for her 18th birthday when finally she could legally give herself to him as she would no longer be underage. However, her dreams and reality are further apart than she realizes as Cray has changed and he now has a son who has arrived that happens to be O's age. We also read how Cray begins to play up as he is jealous between his son Peter and O's friendship.  This book is filled with a lot of angst and shows the stereotype of moody artists. I have to admit I wasn't keen on the main characters and found it hard to connect to them as we have O who acts like a spoilt brat and blames her life on her parents especially her dad and then Cray who acts like the moody artist and that he is a god in the art world and doesn't have a care how he treats those around him. My favorite characters happened to be O's sister Janet and Joe as you could feel their pain in wanting to become parents and you could read the love pouring from them as it spilled through the pages of this book. Where Birds Fly - The Sculptor is a good read if you are in the mood for an older man/younger woman relationship.

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...
