Wanting a new teen book to read ? One that talks about Limbo - the space between Heaven and Hell.
Review: Between - Jessica Warman - August 2011
On the night of Elizabeth aka Liz Vachar's eighteenth birthday , she never thought that this would be her last , when she wakes up on her family's boat "Elizabeth" , a thumping noise is keeping her awake so she goes out to check it out . AARGH she screams as we realise that the thumping noise is not a stuck fish but in fact Liz herself faced down in the water. We soon discover that Liz is dead and it seems like the perfect murder as it can be ruled as an overdose gone wrong. When Liz appears, she discovers that she can see Alex Berg - a guy who died almost a year ago and soon Liz and Alex are trapped in what could only be limbo to discover what and who it was that killed them. Between is told from various perspectives as we look at the story from Liz's POV and happily and sometimes sadly flip in and out of Liz's memory bank. What Liz discovers though, was that her life wasn't as perfect as she had it out to be and that her friends and also the one person she thought she could trust -her stepsister weren't really the people she thought them to be. We discover that secrets have been hidden , lies told and covered up . As we go through Between can Liz figure out who killed her and why ? And if she doesn't figure it out fast , could she be stuck in "Between" forever ? With Alex as her companion , we read and watch Liz change to the person she used to be - before the night EVERYTHING changed forever.
A great read and fans of the Beautiful Dead series by Eden Maguire will enjoy Between by Jessica Warman.

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...
