Review: The Forsaken - Lisa M. Stasse - August 2012
As a fan of the current trend of Dystopian that has hit the shelves of teenage/ young adult fiction. I have read some not so great ones , OK ones and then a few that have been awesome and amazing enough to want to keep on reading. The Forsaken would be the female version of the book The Maze Runner by James Dashner , though in saying that like The Maze Runner, guys and girls will both enjoy it as there is their balance of female and males . In a new order set , all children when they reach 16 years are to undergo a test , the test is a study of the brain which determines whether or not the participant shows the brain activity of a serial killer or criminal. The ones who fail the test are sent to an Island - a prison of sorts. On the day of the test main female lead Alenna ShawCross ends up failing the test and sent to the island along with another person called David Appleby. As Alenna starts to discover, the island is not as they have been taught. It is in fact something more sinister happening . With the age expectancy on the island being 18 years , this means that in order to doscover what is happening and staying alive means that Alenna must move quickly. What will happen though when rumours start to ablaze that her parents were sentenced to the island ? Will they still be alive after all these years or will Alenna end up like her parents ? With her skills to survive , can Alenna save those or try to on the island or will it be listed as another of many failed attempts ?
Find out all this and more in the awesome new and exciting Teen Dystopian "The Forsaken" by Lisa M.Stasse.

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...
