Review: Losing Agir - Liz Fisher-Franks - December 2001

Looking for a multi-cultured , edgy teen book to read ? Losing Agir starts off in Turkey where we watch Agir's village end up being raided by soldiers who are killing people and burning villages. The story then jumps to the UK where we meet Alice , a fifteen year old foster kid who has been dumped from home to home. She is finally put into the home of Tom and Glenda where she meets Agir. However, there are lots of rules in place and when one night Alice finds herself breaking them , she encounters something terrible regarding Tom and soon Agir. With her street knowledge and courage , Alice will seek to do whatever she needs to in order to bring Tom down and save Agir before it's too late. Can Alice save Agir or by doing what she believes is right , will she lose him and see him taken back to a world he has tried to escape from ? 
Losing Agir is not the type of book I would normally read , but I found it quite fast-paced and targeted the edgy topic of War and Human Trafficking quite well.

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...
