The Hawthorne Legacy (The Inheritance Games, #2)

Review: The Hawthorne Legacy - Book #2 The Inheritance Games - Jennifer Lynn Barnes - September 2021

One of my favorite YA authors for her teen detective and unraveling scandals is Jennifer Lynn Barnes. This book is one I had been waiting to read for ages ever since that cliffhanger ending of the first book "The Inheritance Games" and Book #2 was certainly a rollercoaster of a ride as we got not only the answers, we wanted but a whole lot more information as secrets were unraveled and hidden truths came to the surface and we finally learned the truth about Avery, her mum, and Toby Hawthorne. What I loved about this book is that despite everything that came to the light, not once did the Hawthorne’s try and take away their grandfather's wishes for Avery and the boys protected her like they were her "real family" as she learned the crazy ins and outs of the Hawthorne family and their deepest darkest secrets. Like the first book, we have another novel of riddles, ciphers and treasure hunts as the Hawthorne’s loved a good puzzle and life was just a series of random clues that by themselves didn't mean much but put together unraveled lives.  If you are familiar with Jennifer Lynn Barnes books which of course if you are looking at reading this book you would be as you have to read her stories in order otherwise, they feel like one big giant messy story. The Hawthorne Legacy is a busy but thrilling YA story and a great conclusion to the duet that is The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.
PS - this cover is to die for and I have a total cover crush on it.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
