Review: Finding Emma - Book #1 Finding Emma Series - Steena Holmes - April 2012

Have you or do you remember ever watching the TV movie "The Face on the Milk Carton" or reading the series written by Caroline B. Cooney. Growing up that was one of my favourite movies as I loved the concept of it, so when I saw Finding Emma recently on Kindle I knew I had to read it and I loved it as it also reminded me of episodes I had watched on my favourite crime shows. Finding Emma starts with Emma being kidnapped when she was two years old and goes on as we read how her family copes. It then flips forward three years into the future and Emma has just turned five. The newspaper do a cover story of her and her face runs on the milk cartons. Meanwhile across town lives a little girl named Emmie with her grandparents Dottie and Jack. Dottie from day #1 has been very over protective of Emmie whereas Jack believes she is now old enough to go out and make friends. What will happen though when A) Megan believes she has spotted her abducted daughter at the local fair with an older couple in the background , B) Jack discovers that Emmie isn't who Dottie says she is and C) Emmie's new friend's mother pours some milk and spots a girl who looks similar to Emmie on the side of the carton . Is Emmie in fact Emma - the same little girl who was abducted three years ago from her front lawn ?
Find out in Book #1 of the series "Finding Emma" by Steena Holmes. A story worth reading if you loved The Face on the Milk Carton series.

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...
