Review: Wings of Glass - Gina Holmes - March 2013

One of my favourite Christian reads is those that fall into the ECF pile. Those that push the boundaries that in the past would have been seen as taboo for a Christian novel. I enjoyed Gina Holmes's novel Dry as Rain , so when I saw that she had written Wings of Glass - I just knew that I had to read it and I was certainly in for a bumpy ride. Wings of Glass takes us into the life of Penny who in the present state is writing a letter to her son Manny aka Emmanuel. We read about how Penny is telling Manny about the type of person his father Trent was and so the story begins when Penny first met Trent when she was 17-18years old and Trent came to work for her parents on their farm. The story then travels to the fact that they got married and their relationship which includes tales of domestic abuse and mental abuse where of course we truly discover the saying "Sticks and Stones may hurt me but words will never break me" definitely never had to put up with it on a continual daily basis. The story then reaches a climatic point where tragedy occurs and Penny sees this maybe as her way out , but we discover that Trent is blinded from a work accident and we also read he has had a bit on the side. Soon Penny, is granted the opportunity to get a job and starts to finally meet people and make awesome friends. Can her friends help Penny unravel the "real truth" of what's been happening and help her to escape the hurtfulness or will it take another accident and a deadly scenario for her to see the light ?
Find out in this awesome and amazing look into domestic abuse with a Christianity spin.

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...
