Review: Heartbeat - Elizabeth Scott - January 2014

One of my favourite things about being a book reviewer is that I get the chance to read books before they are out on the shelves and it's even better if it is by an author that I really enjoy. One of my favourite teen edgy authors is Elizabeth Scott and if you were to read her backlist of books you would see that she is one amazing author as each of her books have won numerous awards over the years. In Heartbeat , she targets the topic where the main character Emma's mother has died but what amazingly hasn't happened is that Emma's mother was pregnant and the baby is still alive. What Emma's stepfather has decided to do is to keep her mum on life support in order for the baby to grow. Emma believes that this decision is selfish as how does anyone know what her mother wanted. In this novel we read as Emma's life starts to head in a downward spiral and even her friends from before the incident aren't able to pull her back up to the surface. Enter Caleb - he is a social outcast and the guy who people label as BAD TROUBLE. He has after ruining his father's car been sentenced to community service at the hospital where he meets Emma after a visit to her mother. The two start to bond as we learn about Caleb's past and the tragedies and incidents he has had to deal with growing up.  Is Caleb the one needed to help save Emma from drowing in sorrow ? Can Caleb show Emma the power of what one tiny heartbeat , a patter can do to another human life ? 
Stay tuned for Heartbeat by Elizabeth Scott, a Book that all should add to their 2014 reading lists.

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...
