Looking for a new supernatural teen book to read ? One that will have you flipping the pages and when you have finished , wanting more from the author?
Review: The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer - Book #1 Mara Dyer Series - Michelle Hodkin - September 2011
When you read as much as I do , its always a bit touch and go with books as most of them have the same sort of storyline and it really all comes down to how the author executes the storyline and how they can write it , to whether or not the book will be great or not. This storyline is one that has been done a couple of times in different ways but I have to say I adored this book and loved it and cannot wait to read the next one :)
In "The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer" we meet Mara whom we discover was in an accident the previous school year which caused the deaths of three of her friends including her best friend Rachel, boyfriend Jude and friend Claire.  Somehow Mara came out of the accident unharmed, is it a miracle or is there a reason why Mara wasn't killed ?
We soon read that Mara has moved schools and is slowly starting to remember what happened that fateful day but in doing so Mara also now has the ability and power to imagine people's death and by imagining the deaths, she can cause them. In learning this, we read as Mara starts to wonder if she in fact caused the deaths of her friends ? With the help of newfound friend and soon to be boyfriend Noah can Mara learn to control her gift and remember what really happened that fateful night ?
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer is told in two POVs - a Before the Incident and After the Incident and is definitely a book that everyone must read or at least have sitting near the top of their TBR piles.

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...
