Review: Burning Blue - Paul Griffin

Looking for a new teen book to read ? One that is just as fabulous as it's cover ? This is one book where I fell in love with the cover first and story second.
Review: Burning Blue - Paul Griffin- October 2012
Normally, I am pretty onto it when we get new books in the library but the day we got this book I must have been away. I saw this come through the returns slot at work and as soon as I saw the cover I knew I just had to read it.  At first glance, I thought this book was going to be a dystopian sort of novel similar to Robin Wasserman's Lia Series with Frozen, Torn etc but it turned out to be a mystery novel as the main character Nicole Castro - the most prettiest girl is attacked and half her face ends up burnt by acid , school bullying has taken to a new level in Burning Blue as along with her newfound friend Jay . Nicole will discover who did this too her , if there is a serial acid thrower on the loose and why it was done and what she did to ever deserve something like this ?
This novel also shows that when the going gets tough, it is the time where we discover who our true friends are and who really does like us for simply being ourselves and who is in it for the other benefits like the perks of popularity.
A great read and I look forward to discovering other books by Paul Griffin.

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...
