River of Ashes

VBT# River of Ashes - Book #1 St Benedict Series -  Alexandrea Weis and Lucas Astor - August 2022.


This book as I was reading it, I was like having flashbacks to a previous book that this pair had co-written together as the characters were the same and the storyline was similar and I got so confused as it felt the same but not . Turns out that River of Ashes has been rewritten and turned more into a new adult read rather than the earlier tamer teen fiction read I have read earlier which is no longer avaliable and this one has had a bit more added to the storyline and the story fleshed out more. This book takes us into the lives of twins Leslie and Dawn Moore and Beau Deveraux. Beau is the King of the school and dating Dawn but wants Leslie. He also has a dark side that he is finding it harder to contain and as you read this book, you also discover his nasty antics towards women. He thrives on the power, and as I write the review, I think Beau reminded me of Bryce Walker from 13 Reasons Why with the power of having money and being somewhat invincible. This book though Beau does get Karma back at him and I have to say OMFG the ending of this book blew me away, in a way it has the finish that I can't wait to read Book #2,as you were  left  with an ending to think about and stew over.    This was a good new adult romantic suspense and though the cover has a paranormal/fantasy feel it is more likened to a more modern and contemporary realistic high school setting.

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

  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...
