Review: Frozen Charlotte - Alex Bell - January 2015

I don't tend to read Horror novels as I tend to prefer more thrillers as Horrors tend to have often a supernatural/paranormal feel to them and I prefer more realism in my books. I have had this one for a while and decided to have it on Sunday, a relaxing reading day out in the sun - get some Vitamin D while I can before our cold weather hits as we are currently in autumn and heading slowly towards Winter. Frozen Charlotte starts in the olden days when the school sounded a bit like an orphanage and the girls are playing with some creepy-ass dolls called Frozen Charlottes. We later learn that these dolls are possessed and cause the owners to do some nasty things. The book starts eerily with Sophie and her best friend Jay who has downloaded an Ouija board app on his phone as of course we live in the world of modern technology where everything is an app now - no need for the real thing. It can't hurt -Jay said as apps and Ouija boards aren't real.  The pair try to communicate with the first name that popped into their heads which was Sophie's cousin Rebecca who died years ago as a child. That night, Jay dies and Sophie is convinced it has something to do with her cousin. She decides now is the perfect time to go and stay with them and do some digging of her own but when she arrives on the Isle of Skye - she is in for a surprise as her cousins are hiding dark secrets of their own as strange things are happening around their house which was the former schoolhouse. Will Sophie survive the summer or will she find herself falling victim to the "dolls"? Can Sophie break the curse of the "Frozen Charlottes" before they claim more bodies? Find out in this horror / supernatural read - Frozen Charlotte by Alex Bell.

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
