Review: Ambrosia - Madison Wheatley -  October 2019


Scrolling through my Kindle in one of those weird reading slumps, I didn't know what to read and I just clicked on a random title. I had no idea what to expect of the book, or whether I would even enjoy it. Ambrosia turned out to be quite a refreshing read as it was something that I hadn't read in years. It turned out to be a supernatural/dark fantasy read with Demons. The book starts with us meeting our main female character Crystal, she comes home to find her boyfriend Jay cheating on her in their bed. They have a big fight where he calls her names and then storms out. That night Crystal's life changed forever as Jay ended up in a car accident and dies. Two years on, Crystal still blames herself, especially on the anniversary of his death. This particular day, she heads to a shop and meets a guy named Rory who tells her about this amazing gym called Mount Olympus. It seems out of Crystal's pay rate, but when she turns up - the staff are amazing and considerate and give her a great discount. It is still costly, but for $200 a month, she can't complain. Soon Crystal chucks herself into the training and starts to lose weight. During this Crystal is offered a drink called Ambrosia - a sort of energy drink. The thing is that this drink makes you lose track of time and once you take one sip, you will find yourself unable to leave the gym. Crystal starts to notice strange things and odd things happening around her and herself in a haze, that she tries to investigate. What happens when she learns the truth is that the gym is a cover to harvest souls and that the owner aka Rory is a Demon and the staff are his slaves and followers. Everyone else is under the spell, but there is a fight about Crystal and she's not going to give up without a fight. Can Crystal help save the others and overpower Rory the demon? Find out in this Dark Paranormal/ Supernatural Thriller "Ambrosia" by Madison Wheatley. The drink Ambrosia reminded me of the True Blood scene where Sookie met her Grandfather who went missing and discovered the truth that once they eat the "apple" they are stuck forever.

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...
