The Guardian Angel's Journal: She Thought Her Life Was Over, But It Hadn't Even Started--. Carolyn Jess-CookeThe Guardian Angel's Journal

Review: The Guardian Angel's Journal - Carolyn Jess-Cooke - April 2011

Being praised as the new Audrey Niffenegger, author of The Time Traveller's Wife and Her Fearful Symmetry which I reviewed on http://www.chicklitclub.com/ I bring to you "The Guardian Angel's Journal" by Carolyn Jess-Cooke. This novel is superb and for anyone that hs ever believed that we all have guardian angels watching over us, this is the novel to add to your must-read pile. When Margot dies , leaving behind a son Theo who is on trial for Murder . She goes to Heaven and is told that in a way she will be given a second chance at life , she is to come back as a Guardian Angel named Ruth and is to watch over Margot from birth to just before she died. For Margot, as she watches from birth, there are lots of blanks and fill-in-the spaces of memories that she didn't realise had happened to her, from her real parents, to being passed from foster home to foster home to eventually the orphanage which was to be the worst time of her life. Throughout the novel, she also meets lots and lots of different guardian angels. Margot has been given one clear rule as Ruth, to sit back and not change anything that has happened, but can she watch her son's troubles and tragedies all over again, so when an opportunity arises for Ruth to step in and help save her son from making the most horrible mistake of his life, will she realise too late that one single change could result in consequences, that no one could ever have imagined too ?
Personally I found this book to be in similarities to Catherine Ryan Hyde's book "When I found You" and Caroline Overington's story "Ghost Child".

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

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...
