Review: Eve and Adam - Michael Grant and Katherine Applegate - October 2012
From the very first page with Eve and Adam you are chucked into an action-packed and intriguing book as the main character Eve aka Evening Spiker has been involved in a serious bike accident and doctors say it is a miracle she ever survived. We soon learn in the first chapter that Eve's mother is a Doctor and that the Spiker family which consists of Eve and her mother Terra are the richest family around. Eve is then transferred to her mother's hospital to recuperate, it is here that she meets Solo - one of her mother's gopher boys and Terra's mother is his guardian which near the end of the book we discover why. Eve and Solo hit it off despite being tried to keep away from each other.To distract Eve, her mother lets her test out a new simulation in which Eve can create a human and she decides to make a male named Adam - the perfect guy.  As the novel goes along we also meet Aislin - Eve's best friend and her boyfriend Maddox- who always seems to be on the wrong side of the law. When bad things about her mother's work starts to slip into her hearing range,  Eve along with Solo and Aislin escape the hospital and sparks fly between Solo and Eve. What will happen though when it's discovered that the stimulation Eve used to create Adam actually turned Adam into a real person - who will Eve choose ? Solo or her version of the perfect guy ? Eve and Adam is a fast-paced novel that will keep readers intrigued as it delves into the world of genetics and modifications.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
