Review: Girl Lost - Nazarea Andrews - May 2014

One of my favourite things to read about is renditions of famous tales and other books and Girl Lost is an edgy twist on the tale of Peter Pan. In Girl Lost we meet seventeen year old Gwen Barrie who is heir to the Barrie fortune company. When she was younger Gwen and her parents were on a ship when it was over-run by pirates and they were killed and Gwen found herself stranded and lost on an island where she met "The Boy" and stayed on the island with him till she was later found. When she arrived home, no-one believed her and her aunt Jane locked her up in an mental institution. Now she is out and starting college where she must prove her stability to inherit her rightful place at the head of the Barrie enterprise. Things though will become difficult to keep straight and reality will blur with fantasy when she meets Peter who strongly resembles "The Boy" and some of the words out of his mouth etc are ones she has heard before. Is "The Boy" real and why is it now , he has decided to show himself ?
Find out in "Girl Lost" by Nazarea Andrews and read as Gwen tries to determine what's reality and fantasy and discovers that often the lines can blur far too easily for anyone to notice.

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...
