Review: King of Hyde Park - Lisa Watson



King of Hyde Park (Kings of the Castle #8)

Review: King of Hyde Park - Book #8 Kings of the Castle Series - Lisa Watson - December 2019

Readers of my blog will know that I have been enjoying the Kings of the Castle series as I find this brotherhood and the main characters genuinely nice guys despite their dangerous backgrounds. King of Hyde Park takes us into Dro aka Alejandro's life. Alejandro was given the role of King of Hyde Park from Khali and his specialty is fixing everything. He is the "fixer" of the group and the go-to for getting people out of crazy jams. He is also fiercely loyal to his family including his crazy uncle Santiago - though he will do the favor for his mother this is the last time as things are getting more and more dangerous as he finds himself in bed with the enemy.  Our female character is Lola, she is a bit like the female version of Dro but her specialty is more the PR side of things. Lola works for Alastair Mayhew who has a long-standing grudge with Dro's father and family. Dro is hired to do a favor for Alastair and help Lola clean up his son Shaun's image as it is starting to reflect badly on the Mayhew family name. King of Hyde Park follows not only the storyline of Lola and Dro's budding romance but also as Dro and his team dig deeper into Mayhew - it seems that he may have indirectly been involved with the attempted murder of his mentor Khali - a guy that was a second father to Dro and the rest of the new Kings of the Castle. I have to admit though Dro is probably the hottest one so far out of the models used for King of the Castles story, his story wasn't one of my favorites but still enjoyable and I am looking forward to reading the remaining members of the Kings of the Castle series.

Song and Sky. Fate and Future all align. On my seventeenth birthday, I finally heard Fate’s voice. He whispered to me again and again, insisting I find the Omen of Stones. Having never heard of such lore, I thought I could ignore his pleas. The Summer Solstice proved otherwise. Being surrounded by fellow witches worked my magic up into a powerful swell that crashed and churned within me. As the energy crackled through my veins, I shunned my royal duties to follow the call of my heart. Venturing beyond the safety of the Kingdom’s borders, I felt Fate nudging me toward a destiny I was eager to claim. Confidence in my craft blinded me from the ominous clouds of danger that roiled on the horizon. Captured by purists de...

The Vicious Deep

The Vicious Deep written by Zoraida Cordova I haven't read any other mermaid YA novels, although I hear there's a relatively new-ish trend towards the mermaid trope.  After reading this one, I'm really not sure I want to seek out any more mermaid books.  I tried to be open-minded and read the whole book, but really, though, this was not a good book for me.  Just in terms of the writing style, basic sentence variation goes a long way to counter awkward writing.  It's something I personally struggle with, but then, I'm not looking to be a published writer either.  Beyond that though, the story itself...Tristan is the obnoxious popular kid you can't stand at school.  He's full of himself, you can't relate to him, despite his role as the main character , he's shallow, sexist, unlikable...the list of adjectives goes on.  He's a caricature of hotheaded teenage arrogance.  Guys, the sentence "I'm not rippling with the muscles of the other bros,...
