She’s mean and steps on other people to feel secure. It was nice to see a female character like Ryen who put up a front and a terrible one at that.

Now, let’s just get to it and talk about why I really enjoyed this book.įirst of all, the two main characters, Ryen and Misha, were A1. It even made me want to continue the series once I saw that some of the main boys from the Devil’s Night series made an appearance in Punk 57.Īm I a masochist? I really can’t tell at this point, but hey as long as I’m enjoying the book, I don’t care. I picked up Punk 57 hearing that it was tamer than the Devil’s Night series and I am so glad I did. Well, Mackensi, you stupid fucking bitch. I was almost disappointed because that’s a genre I really wanted to jump into. I just assumed I liked dark romances with alpha males, but maybe I was wrong. So, I told myself I wouldn’t read anymore Penelope Douglas. Hell, maybe I’m a big fat hypocrite, but I felt for the main character and I hated watching her get stepped on. Does that make me as demented as the characters in the book? Probably.

I wanted her to get revenge, like run him over with a car or cut off his fingers sort of revenge. Truth be told, I didn’t want our main protagonist to get with the guy. I was not ready for all the trauma and drama that is Corrupt. I recently watched a booktuber talking about her books and how they were “dark as fuck.” So, I decided to read Corrupt and even though I received warnings about its target audience, I was still not prepared. It is suitable for ages 18+.I’m not going to lie Penelope Douglas scared me. *Punk 57 is a stand alone New Adult romance. Or right under my nose, and I wouldn't even know it. I should've gotten his phone number or picture or something.

Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch. Name's Ryen, loves Gallo's pizza, and worships her iPhone. Until I run across a photo of a girl online. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. She's the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am. Sometimes there's one a week or three in a day, but I need them. Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…Īnd that was the start. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. It didn't take long for us to figure out the mistake. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. I can't help but smile at the lyrics in her letter. Seems like it's been forever that you've been gone.'
