                         Review : Moonstone -Book #1 - Marilee Brothers - August 2008

Ever wondered if you were made for bigger and better things than the life you have been dealt ? For Allie , she has , but she just doesn't realise the full extent of it yet and what trouble and triumph it may bring for her. Allie is living in what some people may call a Trailer Trash family , just her and her mum Faye who by the sounds of it by reading the story has that disease Munchhausen Syndrome - that is if you have watched the movie The Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis - a disease that you put all these illnesses on yourself and make yourself sick to gain an advantage. When Allie hits her head , strange things start happening - she finds herself developing Tele-kineses Power and a strange lady called Tribly keeps popping up and talking about some strange prophecy that Allie supposed to be the center of it all. Things soon start to fall into place when Allie's friend Kizzy whom people think is the neighbourhood witch gives her a moonstone necklace and shows Allie the path that she is supposed to fulfill. Soon Allie finds herself and her mum in danger as her powers keep developing and strange men are all after the moonstone. Soon Allie is at a crossroads and realises that she doesn't know who to trust anymore. Can Allie find somebody she can truly trust and what happens when she finally meets her father after 15years and what part does he play in the prophecy ?
Find out in Moonstone , this is one book that was easy to read and keeps you entertained from the very first page and one that I can't wait to read Book #2 and Book #3 and find out what happens to Allie and the Moonstone Journey.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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: 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.

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...
