Review: Burn, by Heath Gibson

On the lookout for a new teen book ? Something for the guys ?
Review: Burn - Heath Gibson- August 2012
Burn by Heath Gibson reminded me of a couple of TV episodes that I have watched , one on Body of Proof and the other on the show Rizzolli and Isles. It started off just an innocent boy who loved fire and saving people , he wanted to be a fireman when he grew up. 
Burn starts when William Tucker saves his school crush Mandy from a fire , he is seen as a hero and the whole town changes their viewpoint of him and he even has a chance with the girl he has spent his school days crushing on . However, the fame doesn't last for long and soon we read about William starting fires only to be the hero to put them out. What happens though, when one fire becomes one too many and alerts the suspicions of an serial arsonist. What will the smalltown community think when the lead suspect is the Pastor's son and what else will the town find out about the Pastor's families lives behind closed doors, when it comes to light that another of the son's is gay.
Burn by Heath Gibson is a great read for teen boys and for those who love the idea of being the town hero and how sometimes heroism can go to your head and end you in more trouble than it's worth.

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...
