Review: Raven - Book #2.5 Delirium Series - Lauren Oliver - March 2013

What does one do when they want to read, but everything they try is just not grabbing them? They go exploring for something to hit the spot this morning after a series of failed DNFs. I was desperate for something and by then I just wanted a quick read too. Something to fill my reading spot and so scrolling through my Kindle, I came across a short story by Lauren Oliver called Raven. This was one of the short story spin-offs from her series Delirium. This brought back memories as I read Delirium when it was first released and loved it as the world of YA reading back then was all about the "Dystopian worlds". In this book, we meet Raven and Tack who are part of the Wilds - the ones helping Lena who was the main character of Delirium. The Wilds are the ones who haven't conformed to the world ideology, the ones who haven't been brainwashed into thinking that Love is a disease or a form of Deliria. In Raven, we read as she and Tack reflect not only on how they met and how Tack came to save Blue but also on the scene where Raven and Tack help Lena break Julian Fineman out of the hospital where they are planning to execute him. 

This was a quick read and a perfect companion story for those who read and loved the Delirium series by Lauren Oliver if you are a tween and teen who hasn't embraced the Dystopian world yet, then this is a book that you all need to dig out of those archives as it is coming up in that now past Ten-Year mark and give a read.

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
