Review: Point of Retreat - Book #2 Slammed Series - February 2012
As a member of a Facebook group called BA , one of the perks is that I not only get to meet awesome new people who are big readers like me and awesome authors like the above Colleen Hoover but I also get to discover new books to read and I definitely don't have a shortage of them which is bad for my bank balance but I do love my books. A few months ago, I finally got around to reading Slammed by Colleen Hoover and I really loved it - it made me want to go to a poetry slamming. Today I decided to crack open well click open Point of Retreat which is Book #2 of the Slammed Series. At the end of Book #1 we read as Lake and her brother Kel experienced the death of their mother and Lake became her brother's guardian. In Book #2 Lake and Will are still dating and living in their separate houses , Kel and Caulder are the best of friends and now their is a third person attached to their group - next door neighbour Kiersten who is such a precocious little one and her swear word which I loved was "Butterfly". Gavin and Eddie are still going strong and have some exciting news in Point of Retreat. However the question about halfway through the novel is when Will's ex-girlfriend Vaughn comes back on the scene is - Is Will really over Vaughn or was Lake just a stand-in till his first love Vaughn came back ? Can the love that Will and Lake have overcome those who are trying to destroy them? There is a sad OMG - How could Colleen do this to us point in the novel , near the end as tragedy strikes in the form of a car accident and readers are left wondering what will happen to Lake ? The other awesome thing about Point of Retreat was that it was written from Will's POV , so guys you can read this as it's told from a Male perspective.
I am looking forward now to read Book #3 This Girl and hope to see Kiersten and her mother Sherry feature.

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
