Naked

Review: Naked - Stacey Trombley - July 2015

As readers will know , I am a cover girl and that is what drew me to this book as the cover was so innovative and creative. Who would have thought to create a cover like this to explain Stacey's new book "Naked". 
In Naked, we meet Exquisite ,a sixteen year old prostitute living in New York. The first scene takes place in a police station and we learn that Exquisite was in fact Anna - a girl who ran away from home when she was fourteen years old. Anna has been living with her "pimp" after he saved her from ever having to be raped again - after her first instance when she arrived in New York. The social worker has now taken her back home to her parents, the thing is in Anna's eyes - her life was much better living on the streets than under the thick thumb and ruling of her father whom we discover is abusive towards Anna and her mother.  He enrols Anna back into school and we read how difficult it is for Anna to intergrate back into the schooling life especially since there are rumours and some of them are nasty truths circulating around about her at school. Back in her hometown though , Anna has made a new friend Jackson - whom despite the rumours -he seems to actually genuinely like Anna and care about her , she has never had anyone like this in her life before . Normally caring comes with a price tag. What will happen though when someone from Anna's past turns up and is eager to threaten her and expose her secret life to the world ?
Find out in this Edgy Teen Fiction novel "Naked" by Stacey Trombley. A novel you will not be able to put down and one where you discover once you peel back all the layers of identities we have created for ourselves - in our own way ,we are all Naked.

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
