A lot can happen in Eleven Minutes , Death is possible at five minutes. Probable at seven minutes and Definite at ten minutes.
Review: Fracture - Megan Miranda - January 2012
Don't you hate it when you read books , that you hold high expectations for and in a way when they don't measure up it can be a tad disappointing. For me Fracture , was half/half.  After seeing it quite alot on the blogosphere , I thought OMG I have to add that to my TBR List and when it arrived at the library, I got it immediately. This book as I was reading it though in parts , I really enjoyed it as we watched the main character Delaney fall through the ice and was under for eleven minutes in which she should have been pronounced dead but by a miracle she lived.  We read in books, newspapers, see on TV people who almost die come back with abilities and in Fracture , Delaney can sense when people are going to die. She get's an uncontrollable itch. The nove goes along with Delaney meeting a few people and getting the urge to itch occassionally . In the novel she meets Troy who it seems is like her, he knows when people are going to die but unlike Delaney wanting to save them, Troy wants to put them out of their pain and kill them - euthanasia much. Only one will survive till the last few pages , will it be Troy or Delaney - which one must fall through the ice again to complete their life cycle and restore life's natural cycle ?
A personal awesome thing was that Decker and I share the same surname and it's spelt the same way , go the double L's :)
Fracture by Megan Miranda reminded me of a cross between the book series Stork by Wendy DeSol and the TV series Medium and Tru Calling.

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...
