Review: Garden of the Moon - Elizabeth Sinclair - December 2009
Do you love TV Programmes like Medium or Ghost Whisperer ? If so, then no matter what you will adore the Garden of the Moon by Elizabeth Sinclair . I was surprised that it was a 2009 release as picking up the book , everything from the cover to the pages inside and author profile just screamed an older publication but don't let this put you off as it was an OMG read , it was amazing. Set in the 1800's we meet Sara Wade , she has the gift of seeing Ghosts and helping them cross-over to the other side . The gift passed on from her grandmother and her father. When her Grandmother passes, she leaves Sara her plantation and the Harrowgate Estate that lays onsite. As Sara arrives though, something feels off . Later she recieves a visit from her Grandmother's ghost telling her to see the neighbour next door . Sara agrees and discovers that evil lurks around Harrowgate as prior her Gran's arrival , a young man was killed on his wedding night and a scandal arose around the death. The man's name was Jonathan , he was engaged to Katherine but in love with her twin sister Maddy. Katherine, jealous of Maddy never let Jonathan go which eventually lead to deaths galore. Now the eerie part is that Sara resembles Maddy and is having flashes back to Maddy's time as Maddy. Is Sara - Maddy reincarnated and what happens when Sara starts to fall in love with Jonathon - the ghost ? Of course, evil is always around the corner in Garden of the Moon with Katherine's ghost doing everything in her power to stop Sara/Maddy being reunited with her love forever.
The Garden of the Moon by Elizabeth Sinclair had a Kate and Leopold feel to it , so if you enjoy ghosts, historical fiction and a bit of time travelling , then this is the book for you.

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...
