Review : Shade - Jeri Smith-Ready - August 2010

This storyline is one that we have read many different times in many different books , but Jeri-Smith Ready has put a new spin on it which made this read stand out and different , which I enjoyed.
In this story , 16 nearly 17 years ago something called "The Shift" happened and everyone born after the Shift ended up with magical powers , the majority of them being able to see and hear ghosts. For 16 yr old Aura , she can see and hear ghosts ... her aunt Gina owns a law firm and Aura is like a ghost-translator which I loved about this book is that the Ghosts can sue and have real courtroom trials which we witness a few in this book , especially one that is significant to the story.
When Aura's boyfriend and first love Logan dies after an accident , she sees the ghost sightings as an opportunity to still share the love with Logan. When Aura starts to come to terms that it might not be all that bad having a ghost as a boyfriend, in comes Zachary - an exchange student from Scotland. Now Aura is stuck between two guys - the ghost and the living ?,
As the time nears Aura must choose between loving the living Zachary or embracing the dead Logan . Which way will Aura go , the way the book finishes I was disappointed but overall the story is one that all fans of the Supernatural/Paranormal YA/Teen Fic Genre and fans of Jeri Smith-Ready's will enjoy.

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. 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...
