Review: Prom Dates to Die For - Various Authors - April 2012

Proms if you live in the States, are seen as a rite of passage for all high school students, in New Zealand , we do have the school balls but it isn't really seen as such a big deal as the Prom as there is no crowning Queens and Kings, no big committees and no lead-ups. Though in the case of this Paranormal/Supernatural Anthology it seems that this Prom contains Dates that are to Die for and literally in the case of some of the short stories.  In terms of Anthologies, I quite liked this one as it was a quick read and the stories are short and straight to the point , which some readers may view as underdeveloped tales but for me it was perfect. We have a story about two teen Supernatural Hunters that are hired to save the school's student body from being sucked soulless as demons possess one of the students , A death reaper discovers the reason she is stuck on earth and meets the one person who can help her move to the afterlife , A student buys a vintage dress from the op-shop only to discover it is possessed and turns her into a prom queen who wants revenge on those who killed her - this was my favourite story as it reminded me of the movie "Urban Legend #3 - Bloody Mary , a musician called to save his classmate from death and Rachel who has discovered that when she turns 18 she becomes a Demon Hunter and it seems that a demon wants to kill her boyfriend on Prom Night. This is the perfect read for all those who are fans of Short Stories and have previously enjoyed the books "Kisses from Hell" and "Prom Dates from Hell" that featured stories from Melissa Marr and PC Cast.

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
