Review: Yesterday's Sun- Amanda Brooke

What if the only thing standing in your way of death was your unborn child ?
Review: Yesterday's Sun - Amanda Brooke - April 2012
Holly was on track with her five-year plan , find a boyfriend, open her art gallery, marry him and sell her paintings and of course move into their own home. Life for Holly Coddington was definitely looking up and on track , that was until Holly and her husband Tom purchased their new country home in a picture-perfect English Village. Whilst renovating , Holly discovers an old sundial which turns out to actually be a moondial with an almost like curse , the moondial can show visions of the future with one condition , it's a life for a life. In Holly's visions, she died during childbirth and now her husband Tom has been left to raise their newborn daughter Libby alone , in her vision Tom is miserable and feels guilty and of course Holly never gets to live her happy life. With this as Holly's future, she sets out to try and change the path and interfere with the future and not let fate take it's course. Things begin to get stressful though as Tom starts to pressure Holly about having a family. Will Holly do everything in her power to not become pregnant , so that she may live or will she sacrifice herself for her unborn child ? Yesterday's Sun reads as a flashback leading up to the main event in which we discover the outcome in the last chapter. The ending is one the reader does not expect and will have your eyes tearing up as you read. Yesterday's Sun was a book that I enjoyed more than I ever thought I would , a heartbreaking and haunting read that all will enjoy.

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
