As a Librarian, many of the books that I review are from the Local Library. Today's book is a newish one by V.C Andrews called "The Heavenstone Secrets".

Heavenstone Secrets

Review: The Heavenstone Secrets - Book #1 Heavenstone Series - VC Andrews - Dec 2009

Ive always wondered what type of person Virginia Andrews was and what her family life was like as they say that most people write from what they know of and all her books tend to have the most dysfunctional families ever and some of the storylines tend to border on the taboo of things. In the Heavensone Secrets we are presented with the main character Semantha who is telling the story and her older sister Cassie. In the Heavenstone Secrets we see Cassie as some kind of scary control freak who has everybody running around after her. When Arianna Heavenstone falls pregnant ,this is the families hope for a boy , though Cassie is the only one not estatic . We soon see that Arianna miscarriages and becomes ill and soon tragedy strikes . It is in this tragedy we see Cassie trying to become Semantha's and her Mother in all aspects as she tries to vy for her fathers affection. This is where we start seeing the Virginia Andrews writing style coming through. If losing one parent wasn't enough, without giving too many spoilers away watch out for another tragedy and a birth that will rock the Heavenstone Family and what is left of it. Im looking forward to getting my hands on the sequel "Secret Whispers" and VC Andrews has just put out a new one called "Daughters of Darkness" and I thought I might give Delia's Garden Series another go.

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...
