Boys of Brayshaw High (Brayshaw, #1)

Review: Boys of Brayshaw High - Book #1 Brayshaw High - Meagan Brandy - January 2019

Even now as I write this review a day after finishing Boys of Brayshaw High by Meagan Brandy, I am in two minds. This book and series have been on my e-reader since their release and like most books on my devices and own bookshelf, they get lost, and then one day it pops into my mind and I decide to read it. I had gotten this one as I love the theme of the whole bullymance and the high school setting. This book starts with us meeting Raven Carver aka Rae who is a troublemaker and put into the foster care system. She is advised to either stay away or bend the knee to the Brayshaw Brothers. However, Raven isn't the type of girl to happily roll over and not let a guy walk all over her as she grew up with a mum who liked to sleep around. Raven's attitude though and her will not bend will attract the attention and place her in the middle of a war between the Gravens and the Brayshaw's - the two top families in the town. Now this is where I am on the fence with this book as I loved the storyline but in parts, it felt a little too repetitive, and that we were going around in circles. The other thing was that it was such a long book and felt like it took forever to read. It did contain a lot of angst and I have to say, I will eventually get around to reading Book #2 but not in a major hurry. I didn't feel I connected well to either Raven or Maddoc but would love to see more of the Captain and his storyline with Zoey as I think that would make a great spin-off book.

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...
