Review: Electric Idol - Book #2 Dark Olympus Series - Katee Robert - January 2022

This particular series has been on my list to read for a couple of years as I do enjoy stories based around the gods and goddesses and mostly Greek history. I even studied as part of my degree in Humanities. This series is a darker side of the Gods and Goddesses and thinking about it probably the closest as we have read that most of them weren't nice people especially those in the inner circles who held most of the power. In Electric Idol, the start is a party where women are introduced and paraded around the new Zeus aka the former Perseus as he needs a new bride and that female will become the new Hera. In Dark Olympus, we learn some of the roles are inherited and others are born into. Demeter is showing off her daughter Psyche as a potential bride for Zeus. Psyche isn't interested and would rather be in the shadows. I also loved her character, she was a favorite of mine and one that I felt I could relate to, right through the whole story. While running off to escape the party, she bumps into Eros. Eros is known as a killer who does his mum's bidding. He is bleeding and needs help, so Psyche does what she believes is right and helps him. Eros is surprised at how big of a heart she has and the genuineness of her spirit.  Even more, he loves how she doesn't look at him like an evil monster. Aphrodite who is Eros's mother has a vengeance against Demeter and hates that her daughter has been seen with her son, so she tells Eros to kill her. Eros can't bring himself to kill her so he does the next best thing he can think to protect her - ask her hand in marriage. What will begin as a marriage to survive and stay alive will soon be a marriage of romance and love as Psyche's love and kindness appeal and softens Eros hard shell and make him realize he wants her forever, just as Hades had wanted Persephone aka Psyche's sister. I am now looking forward to reading the other books in the Dark Olympus Series also this book will make you hate Aphrodite with a vengeance.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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
