Review: Stranger Danger - Maren Stoffels - May 2023

In the mood for a clean YA Thriller? This book though had a lot of edgy topics, it was written in a way that it came across clean at the same time.  The book starts with a new school year and we meet the new teacher Robin Schilds - she is on the bigger side and becomes the victim of bullying by three students Bittersweet aka Nova, her sidekick Lotus, and Nova's boyfriend Vin. Things become difficult for Robin and she ends up quitting and moving away. The story then jumps to a weekend away for the friends. Just before the evening away, Lotus gets a mysterious text on her hidden phone, the one she shared with her secret lover - teacher Reid Hunter who also happens to be married. The text is threatening and she starts to worry that someone knows her secret. Once away, the messages continue and she soon realizes that her friends and she are not alone and that someone wants to hurt them. That person happens to be Robin - their old teacher. The book then jumps through past/present timelines and from the viewpoints of Robin(teacher), Lotus, and Vin. Can the three friends survive the weekend away or will revenge cause harm against them? Stranger Danger by Maren Stoffels was a good YA thriller and reminded me of the books I used to read in the late 90s/ early 2000s Point Horrors. Stranger Danger is the perfect read for those who want a bit of a thriller but not the gruesome side of thrillers/mysteries.

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
