Night School: Legacy
In the last year, Allie's survived three arrests, two breakups and one family breakdown. The only bright point has been her new life at Cimmeria Academy. It's the one place she's felt she belongs. And the fact that it's brought the dreamy Carter West into her life hasn't hurt. . .
But far from being a safe haven, the cloistered walls of Cimmeria are proving more dangerous than Allie could've imagined. The students, and faculty, are under threat and Allie's family - from her mysterious grandma to her runaway brother - are at the centre of the storm.
Allie is going to have to choose between protecting her family and trusting her friends. But secrets have a way of ripping even the strongest relationships apart . . .
Its hard to review the book without spoiling anything, but I won't.
Its been awhile since when I read the first book which I loved, so I thought maybe I might not remember the characters and find it hard to adjust but I didn't have a problem, I dived straight in. I don't know why I started reading it so late in the day as I couldn't put it down, it was just one more chapter to just till 1am, I finally went to bed at 3:30am....I'm so tired and I have work tonight :(.
Anyway this book had romance, drama, friendships, mystery just like the last one. I was impressed, I thought with what was revealed in the last book this one might not be able to match up to that...but it was just as great.
I didn't think this one was as action packed as the last and it has more of a slow build up, the action seemed to be over really quickly, but from the way it ended I think the next book is going to be bursting with it.
Its really the mystery that makes this book for me, I needed to find out more. All the characters hold some amount of mystery to them, and I'm with Allie all the way wanting her to find out who to trust.
The only thing I didn't agree with was the direction Allies relationship goes, all that effort in the last book as well.
I can't wait for the next book which is out on the 15th of August so I'm going to pre-order it.
If you loved the first one, you'll love this one.
I give this one 4/5

Bout of Books Day 3, The Boat Builder's Bed - Kris Pearson
The Boat Builders Bed - Amazon UK - FREE!!
With the title of this book I was wondering if I was hormonal when I bought it...turns out its FREE!! I will give anything a go, especially if its free
So we have Sophie who is another interior designer, starting her own business she's trying to make a life for her and her daughter. Rafe meets her when her shop sign hits his car, he ends up hiring her to do some designs on his house.
I sort of liked the story, it was sweet and there are actual problems rather than just jealousy (I wouldn't say it was good...but also no bad), so in that way there is more to it.
Sometimes it was confusing I think some things were mixed up and I had to re-read some parts over as I didn't really know what they were talking about.
I didn't really feel the love between the characters, I wasn't into either of them...I wasn't wishing them harm or anything, but just felt a bit blah.
Give it props for trying I guess. It was a quick read, I will wake up tomorrow and forget I ever read it nothing worth your time really, very predictable.
