Thirteen Hours to You (Sometimes Goodbye Duet #1)

Review: Thirteen Hours to You - Book #1 Sometimes Goodbye Duet - Annie Emerson - April 2021

I was drawn to this book by the cover and the title as it screamed angst and hurt and I was in the mood for an edgier read and something that would hopefully tug at my heartstrings and get that blood pumping as starting a new job that can be hard on the emotions, I needed an outlet and Annie Emerson's book I had hoped would do that. Thirteen Hours to You was a bit of a frustrating read and in some aspects, I could see why the main female character had a hard time opening up and letting people in but it got to a point where it was like seriously wake up Boo Radley, you have people that care for you and it's time to move on and stop playing the victim card. Tragedies of all sorts happen to people all the time. This book starts with us learning that Boo has been assaulted and then people calling her names, taking videos and an onslaught of bullying occurs. She then gets ready to move to her Nana's for a fresh start, she goes to one last party but can't get the courage to go in and face her attacker. At that party she meets Kai - the stranger and the two share a conversation and Kai tells her if they meet again, he promises to buy her pineapple pizza. The book then jumps to Boo starting a new school and running into two friends Linc and Kai - and he is all about fate and second chances and as we read on plans to fight for his "violet-eyed girl". We read as Boo has a tough time letting anyone in close as she feels she can't trust anyone now, but slowly Kai worms his way into her heart with promises and her guard starts to drop. What will happen though when her guard drops completely, only for a single video clip to shatter the trust and Boo will build her wall back up this time double-glazed. Will Kai ever stand a chance to get back in and prove himself or has he ruined his HEA chance? This book ends on a cliffhanger and will be continued in the second book which will be from Kai's POV.

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...
