Review: My Fault - Book #1 Culpables Series - Mercedes Ron - January 2017

Starting a new series is always a gamble, and with My Fault by Mercedes Ron, I decided to dive in blind. As I got deeper into the story, a sense of déjà vu crept in. The storyline felt oddly familiar, almost as if I had read it before—so much so that I paused to check Goodreads. No record of a previous read, so it must have been another title with similar vibes. That said, this book brings its own unique twist to the familiar tropes, blending an intoxicating mix of family drama, forbidden romance, and high-stakes thrills.

The best way to describe My Fault? Imagine Grease crashing headfirst into Fast and the Furious in a modern-day setting. The story follows seventeen-year-old Noah Morgan, who’s yanked from her quiet Toronto life when her mother unexpectedly marries a billionaire and moves them to Los Angeles. Suddenly, Noah finds herself immersed in a world of illegal street racing, opulent pool parties, and a parade of spoiled rich kids. Enter Nick, her new stepbrother—a dangerously alluring bad boy who is equal parts infuriating and irresistible.

Nick is everything Noah despises: arrogant, aloof, and undeniably magnetic. His bad-boy persona isn’t an act; it’s who he is, and Noah, who’s spent her life running from danger, knows he’s exactly the kind of trouble she should avoid. Yet the attraction between them is electric and impossible to ignore, setting the stage for an intense enemies-to-lovers romance. But just as Noah begins to navigate her complicated feelings for Nick, secrets from her past resurface, threatening to unravel everything. Nick must decide if he’s willing to risk it all to protect her, even if it means crossing lines that could destroy them both.

What makes My Fault such a page-turner is its unrelenting angst and undeniable chemistry. Mercedes Ron does a fantastic job capturing the intensity of forbidden romance, weaving in themes of identity, trust, and resilience. The dual POVs give readers an intimate look into both Noah and Nick’s struggles, adding depth to their tumultuous journey.

While the plot isn’t groundbreaking, it’s undeniably addictive. Think New Adult romance with all the classic tropes: forbidden love, enemies-to-lovers, and a dash of danger. If you’re into TikTok’s hottest romance recs or devoured Chloe Walsh’s Ocean Bay series, this one’s for you. Prepare for a wild, emotional ride that’s impossible to put down. My Fault is a guilty pleasure in every sense of the word—a binge-worthy start to the Culpables series.

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...
