Review : Athena The Brain - Goddess Girls Book #1- Joan Holub & Suzanne Williams - April 2010

In this new series , we see the Goddess Girls as teenage girls about 12-13 years old , well that's how I imagine them , though they could be more 13-14+. In Athena the Brain, we see Athena on earth as an orphan and living with her adopted mother and father and sister Pal. Athena attends Public school and has always known that she is different than the others, however nothing learnt in Public school and life so far could have helped when she discovers the truth on her she really is. Athena is in fact the daughter of the Greek God Zeus and her mother is a .............. Unfortunately I can't ruin the surprise so you will have to read to find out about Athena's mother. Soon we see Athena transfer to Mount Olympus Academy for Gods and Goddess and make friends with Aphrodite, Artemis , Posiedon, Persephone, Pandora etc. and make fast enemies with Medusa and we discover how Medusa ended up with Snakes on her head and the ability to turn those into stone.

    Hi Paula,
    Thank you so much for the lovely words about the Goddess Girls! Athena and Medusa are two of my favorite characters in Greek mythology, so this was a fun start to the series for me.

    Hugs and happy holidays!

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...
