A Hurt So Sweet: Volume Four (Elite of Eden Falls Prep #4)

Review: A Hurt So Sweet - #Volume 4 - Elites of Eden Falls Prep - Betti Rosewood/Isabella Starling - January 2020

Lai is dead and Dexter is accused of murdering his best friend in Eden Falls, meanwhile on a train headed to North Haven is Pandora and her new friend Alli.  Pandora has just discovered she is pregnant with one of the firstborns’ children and on a train to meet her birth mother for the first time. For those who have read the previous series, I keep thinking that is Pandora that stupid like Hello, she was living in Lily-Anna's shadow - shouldn't she have freaking recognized her, and then wouldn't it have been another clue when they rock up to her mum's and the first thing her mother does is hug Lily-Anna calling her - her daughter which of course she has seen her grow up as Emilian sent her photos, etc. When Pandora does meet her mum, we can see her mother is content living in a crazy world as Emilian is paying for it and she has everything she wants. We learn too that she never wanted to be a mother and is prepared to help Pandora lose the baby as she knows it will ruin her life.  I have to admit this book I hated Lily-Anna and thought come on, Pandora - wake the f-up this lady is crazy and wants your child and your life. Of course, by the time, Dexter and Emilian finally find Pandora she has given birth and Lily-Anna has escaped with her son Reign. The book then has Pandora returning and having PPD which is fair enough but they can't handle it and they think their way to get her to snap out of it is to continue to abuse her and treat her like dirt - seriously WTF.  Six years later, she has two more children to Dexter and we can see once she is reunited with Reign - who his father is. It's all about the eyes and Pandora has also made a first step in abolishing the rules of Firstborn in Eden Falls. I was in two minds about this book as I hated the fact that despite being married to Dexter and having two more of his children - he still treated her like a toy and she accepted it. HELLO, seriously - this pissed me off as it's like she has the power yet she is still treated like a plaything and something you find at the bottom of a shoe - really if anything being in Eden Falls missed with her thinking to think this is ok. Overall, this series is a messed up, dark, and twisted sadistic bullymance series and it is good but will leave you feeling split as you want to love it but hate it at the same time.

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...
