20 Minutes Earlier (20 Minutes Series #0.5)


Review: 20 Minutes Earlier - Book # 0.5 20 Minutes Series - Daniel Hurst - February 2020


After reading the first book in this series, I came to the last page and it had a link to reading the prequel for free. As I enjoyed this book, I thought why not and set to reading it. The prequel is a nice quick read and features 4 of the main characters. This series is a parallel universe/parallel storyline where the book is set around the same theme of what can happen in 20 minutes. In this book, we have Jelena - the Serbian who ended up in a human sex trafficking ring, Harry - the young lad who is keen to finally meet his dad, Bodgan - another Serbian who we learn knows Jelena and sadly working a cleaning job to meet ends meet and April who is getting ready for a date just after her gym. I was surprised that April ended up in this prequel as her story to me wasn't that interesting. I probably would have chosen Harry's dad as he ended up embezzling the company, going on benders and then he is one of the momentous points of the first book as he jumped in front of the underground train or the wife Anke who has had enough of her husband cheating on her or even Grant who knows he is gay but now his wife is pregnant but is it his baby or Anke's husbands? I would suggest in this case, due to potential spoilers that the prequel gives and a bit of confusion in some parts - reading Book #1 20 Minutes on the Tube before moving to the prequel - 20 minutes Earlier.

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
