Are you a fan of Unicorns ? I have loved Unicorns ever since I was little and watched Rainbow Brite ride her Unicorn "Starbrite".


The Hunt of the Unicorn
Review: The Hunt of the Unicorn- CC Humphreys - March 2011
Have you seen the films or read the Books Inkheart and Secret to Moonacre ? That's what the book "The Hunt of the Unicorn" reminded me of . The Hunt for the Unicorn starts in modern day New York with teenager Alice-Elayne and her father , her father is dying of Cancer but before he passes -he must pass on the prophecy of the females in his family all whom have been called Alice -Elayne starting from her ancestors 500yrs ago. Her ancestor's father was the greatest weaver in the world and magical too , he managed to create a tapestry which joined the two worlds together -it opened a portal from Earth to a town called Goloth. Goloth has been ruled by tyrants and just like all the females in Alice-Elayne's family are named so , all the men in the King's family are called Leo. It seems that the Unicorns are nearly extinct, so Moonspill calls Alice-Elayne  back to the world of Goloth. Though , shes not sure what she's got herself into . As the story goes on, we see Elayne try and save Moonspill from being hunted as she goes up against all the evil in Goloth as well as try and figure things out in the real "world" where her father is dying.
A novel that in places can get a bit confusing as it flips back and forth but overall an exciting and captivating read and after reading this , Im definitely Team Unicorn :)

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...
