Review: Spark - Book #1 Spark Series - Rachael Craw - July 2014

Wanting to discover a new NZ teen author ? Often some New Zealand authors aren't very exciting to read and you find yourself struggling through their books whereas others are amazing and you find yourself surprisingly enjoying their book. That's what I found with Spark. I picked this book up as I was inspired first by the cover as I had just seen the movie Lucy and the cover reminded me of the final scene in the movie. Then when I saw it was written by a NZ author that got me wanting to read it just that little bit more.  I am glad I did as Spark was an amazing read and not what I had expected. In Spark we meet Evie, who discovers that she is someone who has had this extra DNA sparked within her and is a protector. Her first project to save happens to be her best friend Kitty and though people say that you never save your first, there is no way in hell that Evie is going to let her best friend die especially after she has lost everyone she cares about. What is interesting is that unlike the others with this gene, Evie is already well-advanced for a beginner and will have to learn along the way how to control the urges to save and keep alive herself as there are others out there who want to kill the people with the gene like Evie and worst is that her friend's brother and the one Evie loves belongs to the organisation that want her dead. What happens though that during this , Evie will discover the truth of her birth and discover that there is a lot more of her past that has been hidden from her and that it may be the key to solving who wants to kill Kitty.
If you are intrigued and want to find out more , then check out Spark by Rachael Craw. A NZ Book I hope to see up for one of our kiwi awards in the year to come.

Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas

  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

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: Dr. Strange Beard - Book #5 Winston Brothers Series - Penny Reid - July 2018 If there is a family that I love to read about it has been the Winston Brothers. This has to be one of my favorite book series out there as the brothers ; you can't help but fall in love with them all - with their funny quirks and their redneck comments. The other thing I love about The Winston Brothers is they are all genuinely nice guys ; they may look like they had a bad bone and they have reasons too - but they are the nicest around there, and they have the best intentions. Dr. Strange Beard is the youngest Roscoe's story. Roscoe has only ever loved one person his entire life besides his family - Simone Payton and now she is back in Green Valley except now she is an undercover FBI agent who is after his Dad Darrell Winston. Of course, to make the snatch, she has to get close to the Winstons and who better to use as a target but Roscoe. The thing is though that ten years a
