Review: Drake - Book #0.5 The Outsiders Series, Book #37 Happy Endings Resort Series - Sara Schoen - February 2018


Readers will remember Drake from the Outsiders series whose main characters were two sisters Rose aka Red and Violet who ended up in the foster system after their parents disappeared without a trace. This book starts in the Happy Endings Resort, where Drake has lived most of his life with his parents. That was until his dad decided he had, had enough and left Drake with his mum and they now live in a trailer in the trailer park. We learn that Drake's life isn't so easy as he is a target for all his mum's numerous boyfriends who like to act tough, pick on someone smaller and exert their dominance. The sad thing too is that Drake gives his mum the choice and every time she picks the boyfriend and abuses her son. One summer, Liv - a girl he has a love/hate relationship with decides to take things into her own and ends up manipulating Drake and getting him drunk to reveal the truth. What will happen though to Drake when she thinks she is doing the right thing? Now Drake, with nowhere to go ends up in the foster care system and becomes an "Outsider". This book finishes with the crossover of Rose aka Red and Violet turning up at the foster group home.  This was a quick read and gave readers a background on Drake's life and how he ended up where he is and how he got all the scars etc.

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
