Review: Dividing Dark- Melissa Swain

Today's book does not contain the word "bitch" LOL. This is a Young adult supernatural , that for once the shifter does not turn into a werewolf, vampire, cat of any kind but strangely enough a reptile - sort of like a lizard.

Review: Dividing Dark - Melissa Swain - August 2010

The novel starts in a way that you think it has been written centuries ago, two teens protecting a cave and it's secrets from being closed , however it then jumps to before the incident with lead female character Flannery aka Fee , starting a new school and a new life after her father was killed in the War. Now in the small town of Huntsville, Alabama . Fee has to try and make friends, though for her making friends is just the ice-berg of the problem as we discover that she is also suffering from an eating disorder - this is something that most females and the occasional male gender can associate with . So when Fee is invited to go spelunking with a group of students from school , she decides to go along though of course Fee has never spelunked before. Her journey begins when she goes spelunking - for those who don't know what it is it's caving, where she meets Faron. They are immediately attracted to each other.However they are both hiding a dark secret , Faron is in fact a shapeshifter - half human and half reptile and of course Fee has her eating disorder ?
As like most love stories, we see the characters build up love for each other and soon we discover that Fee is a powerful girl brought to bring a truce between the light and darkness of the world , and Faron needs help to save the secrets of his people before they are destroyed forever. Can the two work together and we discover each of them no matter what their differences can have a happy ending -well for now anyway. When the going gets tough, can these two overcome the obstacles with their teenage love or will peer pressure retaliate ?
From a personal point, I would like to acknowledge that Melissa Swaim dedicated this book to a friend who passed away.

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
