Review: The Kiss of Death - Pantheon #1 - Shaneen Ricci - September 2024

It's been years since I have read a bullymance and so when this one came along to be read as part of the Happily Booked PR ARCS, I jumped at the chance and I have to say it has reignited my love of bullymances and made me want to read more. The book starts with our two main characters Dalia and Levi at Levi's house. His mum is Dalia's music teacher and teaches her the Violin. Dalia's dream is to one day play at the Pantheon, the place that united her mum and herself. It is the place of nightmare and happiness for Dalia. When Levi's mum dies, he blames Dalia and then they go their separate ways. Years later, Dalia has a spot at the Pantheon Academy but her life is about to get harder as turns out the boy she has always loved Levi, is the King of the School and a Bully. He is the type of guy no one at the school wants to cross, he will also find out your darkest secrets and use them as blackmail to get his way. Can Dalia soften Levi's heart and will she get her dream to follow her mother's footsteps and play at the Pantheon? Find out in this fun bullymance semi-dark YA romance by Shaneen Ricci. Perfect for fans of books like Paper Princess by Erin Watt and Bully by Penelope Douglas.

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.

I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

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...
