-


Today's novel is a sequel of a book that I really really have been looking forward to reading , it is a novel of re-incarnation , fallen angels and in this novel nephilims.

                                     
                                                                   Torment (Fallen)

                                        Review : Torment -Lauren Kate - September 2010

The long awaited sequel to Fallen by Lauren Kate , when I recieved this copy in the mail to review from Random House NZ , I was estatic as I couldn't wait to read more of the Daniel and Luce Saga .
In Torment , we are presented with the aftershocks of what has happened at the end of Fallen with Luce's friend Penny - the groundskeeper's daughter now dead and the fact that Luce lived past her seventeenth birthday , a birthday that in the past every 17 years she would spontaneously combust and burst into flames ,only to be re-incarnated once again. Now inching past her seventeenth birthday, Luce is in trouble since she was supposed to die and not continue living in her current body. With a bounty on her head , we read as arch-enemies Cam and Daniel team up with a truce to take down everyone who comes near Luce and Luce is relocated to a new school called Shorelines and if Luce really wanted to fly under the radar, she's out of luck as Shorelines a school for Nephilims and the story of Luce and Daniel - their centuries of love is a fairtytale that has been passed from generation to generation.
Readers, be prepared for an ending that will leave you wrenching and screaming out as you wait for the third book "Passion" to be released in Summer 2011.
I wonder if that's another reason the author called the book Torment , playing with the emotions of all the Fallen Fans.

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...
