Dark Song

Review: Dark Song - Gail Giles - September 2010

I wasn't really sure what to expect from this book as what had really grabbed me was the cover with the red rose as it reminded me of the Beastly Cover by Alex Flinn. Which I loved with the rose on the cover.

(BEASTLY)) by Flinn, Alex(Author)Hardcover[Beastly] on 01 Oct-2007
Dark Song was an interesting novel, that contained plenty of twists and turns from the beginning when Ames dad spontaneously took her and the family to the middle of Nowheresville for Christmas , all seemed well until her Dad started staying home more and there were whispers of her Dad being laid off. It seems that he was keeping it a secret from the family, it later is discovered that both her parents have been lying to Ames and her sister Chrissy and themselves. We start to see cracks appear in Ames family as the story moves along from the fact that they have no money since her dad gambled it all away and was really fired for stealing others money . To Ames parents not being truthful about either of their pasts , soon Ames and Chrissy find themselves going from Private to Public School and moving from their house to the smalltown of Boulder, Texas. It is here that Ames meets Marc and soon the two are romantically involved, however Marc has a violent past and if Ames isn't careful, she too could find herself wrapped up in his evil antics. When Marc goes too far and threatens to kill her family, will Ames choose her family over the guy she loves or will she stand by her man and choose Marc ?

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
