Review: Twist - Roni Teson - March 2014

Starring at the cover, you would think that this was an Adult novel but it is in fact a Teen Book and just like the title assumes this book is filled with lots of twists and that isn't exaggerating either.  This novel starts off relatively normal with Bea living with her aunty and uncle after what we can assume was a tragedy that happened forcing her to try and move on with her life with her Aunt and Uncle. Then we learn that Bea's father is currently wanted by the FBI and it has something to do with her mother's death.  Bea then starts school and meets Lucas Davenport, these two are drawn together and have a romantic fling though it is short-lived with Lucas ends up half-dead and lying in a hospital bed and somehow it seems that this might be due to Bea's father and the case the FBI are putting together. Bea then flies down to stay with her best friend in Seattle and for a brief moment sees her Dad and he tells her not to "trust anyone". Then the story starts to get weird as Lucas has amnesia and hates the name Lucas and wants to be called Louie, then it is discovered that maybe Bea's mum is still alive and that the funeral was faked and that her father really isn't in trouble but is trying to save her life as she has the disease just like her mother does or at least did . About 3/4 the way through the novel, Twist does get really confusing and as I say alot of twists and turns start developing and readers, you will have to sort out for your own as to which is reality and which is fantasy and reading the book and from my own experiences with it, I am guessing that this is one of those books that everyone will have a different outcome in the end to which was real and what was fake.
Twist was a mixture between a Teen Fiction with Edgy Content meets Mystery Suspense with a weird element of not exactly Sci-Fi but that feel of something not adding up and government involvement - think Men In Black films.
 Anyway, Twist is one of those books readers, that you will either love or hate.

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...
