You'll remember a few months back, we had Lara Morgan star on The Phantom Paragrapher http://thephantomparagrapher.blogspot.com/2010/10/vbt-rosie-black-chronicles-lara-morgan.html and she talked about having a Boy as the hero in a world that is currently a heroine driven world.
Today we have a review on her book "The Rosie Black Chronicles : Genesis"-  ther first book in her new series.

                                                          

              Review : The Rosie Black Chronicles - Genesis - Lara Morgan - September 2010

This novel in a world that has slowly become over-run with supernatural tales involving Vampires, Zombies and even Unicorns. Though I enjoy those types of books , it is great to see that not all authors have succumbed to the Fantasy/Supernatural Genre.
The Rosie Black Chronicles is a dystopian adventure novel set 500 years into the future , the author being from Australia -the setting is Australia with the town being called NewPerth . 500yrs ago, a  tragedy known as The Melt wiped the world clean and sunk most of the coastal cities.
Newperth is divided into three categories - the rich ones "Centrals" , the making it -but barely "Bankers" and then you have the poor "Ferals". When Banker - Rosie Black and her friend Central Juli discovers a box in Feral territory, they think they have discovered treasure. Little do both of them know, that what they have discovered is dangerous and now Rosie after her friend Juli is killed and her dad Kidnapped must team up with the Ferals - Pip and Riley to stay alive and help save her dad from becoming dead. Now Rosie along with Pip and Riley must discover the secrets of the contents that the box holds before it's too late and everything she has ever known will be destroyed and the ones she truly loves hurt.
This book follows in traditions to Fleur Beale's Juno of Taris Series , 1984 , Witch and Wizard by James Patterson, The Crossing Trilogy by Mandy Hager and is a must read for fans of movies like Equilibrium , Aeon Flux and UltraViolet.

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
