Review: Get Even - Book #1 DGM Series - Gretchen McNeil - September 2014

When I read the tagline for this book , I was intrigued as it read "The Breakfast Club meets Pretty Little Liars". Two of my favourite things and they were correct as this novel introduces us to four girls who if were put together are unlikely friends and would never get on as we have Olivia - the drama geek , Kitty - the jock , Margot - the techie and Bree - the outsider/loner. These girls have one thing in common though, they have all been victims of bullying and have decided to band together and form a secret society group called "DGM" which stands for "Don't Get Mad" - Get Even.  Their task is to get revenge on those who have been bullying the underdogs of the school but it seems that their group has received some unwanted attention as the principal of their private school is determined to find the culprits behind the group and get them shut down.  When their latest target turns up dead, the spotlight is thrown upon the DGM team and soon they start recieving threats, photos and relics from their pasts - all that contain dark and dirty secrets that if revealed or fall into the wrong hands could leave them exposed and have their dirty laundry aired. This is the part that reminded me of Pretty Little Liars as it seems that the girls have their own anonymous "A" and if they aren't careful and find out who it is , they may have a bigger problem as more dead bodies turn up and they are threatened to be exposed as the faces behind DGM. Can they solve it or will it take all their might not to crumble when it comes to the witching hour ?
The only thing that left me gasping is this book ends on a cliffhanger and now I have to wait till 2015 to read book #2 :(.

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
