ARC Tour - Bright Young Things - Anna Godbersen

-

Today is my first ARC Tour Post with International Book Tours and Today's book is one I have been hanging out to read , it is the first in the newest series by Anna Godbersen, most famous for her series "The Luxe" which was like a 18th/19th Century Gossip Girl.

                           Review : Bright Young Things - Anna Godbersen - October 2010

Author Anna Godbersen has a gift for writing books set in New York in the eras of the 1920's and 1930's. The era of flappers and country clubs , soirees and burlesque clubs - women singing jazz and opera.
Bright Young Things sets us on a journey from a little town of Union, Ohio to the big bright lights of New York City. In Union, Ohio - two girls Cordelia Grey and Letty Larkspur want action, adventure and to be rid of their small town life. Cordelia escaping on her wedding night with best friend in tow , they rush a train to New York City. Once they arrive , its a whirlwind of fun and new experiences and some of those turn out for the best and others cause break-ups. One night when out of the town, Letty and Cordelia have a huge fallout which causes them both to go their own way . Cordelia ends up dining with the rich and wealthy as she finds her long-lost daddy "the infamous" D. Grey , it is here to that she meets Astrid - a socialite and the girlfriend of her new found brother Charlie whereas Letty ends up working in a bar and living her life as one of those barely making it through. When tragedy strikes , will these three girls end up together and everything be the same like nothing had happened or will their be a cloud looming as they both have experienced some new found lessons both good and bad whilst being in New York - definitely not the fairytale they had planned for.
The only downside to the book is that I was hooked by the prologue and couldn't wait to see what was going to happen , only to discover that it was left on a cliffhanger of sorts and now I have to wait and wait for the next book in the series , to find out what happens to Cordelia, Astrid and Letty.

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
