Review: All these Lives, by Sarah Wylie

Looking for a new teen book to read ? Did you enjoy the book and TV show "The Nine Lives of Chloe King" ?
Review: All These Lives - Sarah Wylie - June 2012
Were you a fan of the TV show "The Nine Lives of Chloe King", or were you one of those people who read the book years before the TV show was released like me ?
All These Lives by Sarah Wylie reminded me of The Nine Lives of Chloe King as the main character Dani has been rumoured to have nine lives.  We meet fraternal twins Dani and Jena , even though they are twins they couldn't be more different , it seems that Dani has nine lives whereas Jena only has one and her life is currently running out as we discover Jena has leukemia and Dani and her parents are not a match for a bone marrow transplant to occur.  Dani feels and believes that maybe if she shortened her life and used her nine lives up maybe just maybe it would rub off onto Jena's lifeline. As the book goes along we read as Dani causes many accidents and NDE's to shorten her lives and we see Jena still plugging along. The only downside for me is that I got really into the story and then about 3/4 the way through after the call-backs for Dani's audition and Dani's epiphany about Jena , I got confused and the book started to lose sense and unfortunately the last part of the book was downhill for me, other than that I really did enjoy the first 3/4 of the novel.

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...
