Do you love Mysteries ?
Are you a fan of Ghost tales like hit TV Show "Ghost Whisperer" ?
Review: Dead , Actually - Kaz Delaney - March 2012
Are you a fan of the hit TV Show "Ghost Whisperer" or Medium ? The show where once someone dies , they show up wanting the person who can see them, their help to solve whatever circumstance they are going through. To get peace, or to know who or what killed them ?
Meet two girls , both from opposite ends of the high school popularity list. We have Willow Cartwright, she is happy just being herself and is considered a D-Lister and her friends only consist of Macey and her brother Seth Pentecost. On the opposite end of the spectrum we have JoJo Grayson. She was the Queen Bee, the one everyone wanted or so it seemed. When JoJo dies and Willow is the one to witness the accident, everyone seems caught up in Willow - was JoJo hiding something that everyone wanted to make sure was hidden ? Willow thinks that once JoJo is buried that this is the end of it, but unfortunately for Willow - she is being haunted by JoJo's spirit and now as the only person who can see her Willow must try and figure out what exactly happened to JoJo and why somebody wanted her dead and she better do it fast , as the longer it takes, the longer Willow has to be surrounded by JoJo's ghost.
A fun mystery novel , that when I read it I had senses of Deja Vu and then I realised that a similar premise happened in the novels The Ghost and the Goth by Stacey Kade and Remember Me Trilogy by Christopher Pike. It also makes you wonder what the people you hang around would say if you were dead ? Would they really be torn or would they be rejoicing ?

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...
