Review: The Prince - Book #1 Spy Girl Series - Jillian Dodd - April 2016

I was in two minds with this book as I had high hopes as I love teen spy novels and so this sounded right up my alley from the fact that the young girl was 12 years old when her parents died and then sent off to train at a boarding school as a teen spy. The girl then turns 18 and is sent on her first mission - to get close to the prince and protect him. All this sounded great when sadly it wasn't. Our spy girl was made to be like Miss Congeniality and seduce the prince but as she went along with the book, she was like a guy magnet and slept with whoever she wanted and strung plenty of guys along for the sake of it. Yes, she did her job and stopped several assassinations attempts on the prince but still acted like a hoity-toity I'm all that because I'm hot and tough. Instead of being a good fun YA/NA spy story like Gallagher Girls or one of Scarlett Haven's several spy series - this was too overtly sexual for me as it's like all she did was have sex or at least play and tease the opposite sex. We had glimpses of her past and I got a tad excited when it turned out her death had been faked, but then WTF she didn't pursue it. Who does that? This was an average read for me as I did manage to finish it. I did try the next book - The Eagle, but it was a DNF as again the first half was her no-strings-attached relationship with both Daniel the swimmer and the prince who is now the new King. This made the decision for me, is to delete the rest of the series as I just don't have the interest to read it and continue which is a shame as I do love her other series Captive Films and The Keatyn Chronicles.

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
