Review: Mercury Boys - Chandra Prasad - August 2021

The last couple of days I've been a bit stuck in my reading and only found a couple of books to enjoy. I wasn't sure exactly what to expect with Mercury Boys, but as I started it I found myself enjoying the book. The book starts with Saskia who has just moved to a small town with her Dad after her mum cheated on her dad with the substitute teacher. During her first week at the new school, she gets an assignment where they have to learn about pioneers and early settlers. This leads Saskia to head to the local university library archives with her new BFF Lila - here she finds a daguerreotype of the guy she is learning about - Robert Cornelius. What happens when Saskia ends up mixing mercury while falling asleep with the picture? She will find herself traveling back in time and meeting Robert. Soon she will find herself falling in love with him, the only downside though is that she can only visit him in her dreams. What happens though when she tells a new group of friends and soon the girls all have their secret club known as the "Mercury Boys Club".  What happens though when the group's reality starts to blur with their dreamworld and one of the members ends up in the hospital? Are things what they seem or is this one giant elaborate revenge game?
Find out in Mercury Boys by Chandra Prasad - a book that reminds me of The Secret Circle mixed with Christopher Pike's 90s horror stories.

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...
