SOS: Summer of St. George

Review: SOS - Summer of St. George - Briana Gaitlin - September 2016

If you are in the mood for a good psychological thriller and one with an ending that you will be like OMFG I didn't see that coming, then this is the read for you. I finished this book a few days ago and am still reeling after the ending. If you have read We Were Liars by E.Lockhart or seen the movie Dream House with Daniel Craig; this is similar but not. In SOS we meet Poppy and Murphy who are cousins and were born on the same day, the pair all their lives have been inseparable. When they were seventeen, Poppy made a pact with Murphy that they would live the following year with no consequences and spend one last summer at Poppy's beach house on St.George and then on their 18th Birthday they would kill themselves as neither one wanted to live without the other.  Murphy has arrived, and Poppy is already there, the girls are armed with their summer rules. One of them is NOT TO FALL IN LOVE. The thing is though that Murphy meets Liam and the pair despite her reservations and wanting to follow the rules; they hit it off. What happens though when this summer Murphy's life starts changing for the better and she has second thoughts about the pact, but of course she doesn't want to disappoint Poppy? Will this Summer be the end of Poppy and Murphy for good or will someone hear their SOS call and save them before the summer is out and show them that life is worth living for ? If you have read Courtney Cole's series NOCTE , then you will feel right at home with SOS by Briana Gaitlin, a book definitely worth reading.

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
