Harvest Moon
Review: Harvest Moon - Krista Ball
When I first turned the pages of this novella , I thought it may have been a werewolf or supernatural novel in that sense as when you think of Harvest Moon with the Full Moon in the background that's what comes to my mind. However, alas that was not the case in Krista Ball's book "Harvest Moon". This story takes us into the world of the American Indians , a culture that I normally don't encounter when Ive read books, only briefly in Patricia Briggs writings and few Christian Historical novels. The story centers around the main character - a women named The Dancing one who after her last two husbands died she was renamed "Cursed One". One day , she is to take a sacred bundle down to the river, wanting to end her life - she decides to pray to the spirits . The spirit ends up turning her into a man , it is now that she must live her life as a male. Along her journey, she/he is injured and taken into care by another Outcast from an opposing tribe called Bearclaw. It seems he has been outcasted due to his sexuality choices as he is bisexual and attracted to men and women. Which for me was weird seeing it in a novel , as many cast their characters has liking either or but rarely both. As the novel goes on, it seems that their paths have intertwined for a reason , however will Dancing One be stuck in a man's body forever or will Bearclaw break the curse she has placed on herself ?

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
